Hmmm, I think that guide shows more work than you will need since its converting from a 89 to 5 lug and your doing it from a 97 to 5 lug.

the only difference is up front. you just need the hub, no knuckle or anything. just tear off the brakes then remove the hub nut, 32 or 36mm (you need the other one for the back so buy both), pull it off and reverse the process with the new hub.

if you're not going with z32 rear brakes all you need is the hub back there too. the process is virtually the same, but there are 4 bolts on the back of each hub that are a pain in the *** to get to. and i suggest removing the hub nut before tearing apart the rear brakes so you can use the parking brake to keep the hub from turning.

as for a parts list, all you need are the hubs (z32 NAs work too) and the rotors (or redrill the old ones)

Couldn't you just use these from PDM racing?

Man those are a bit on the expensive side. *sigh Why is everything on cars so expensive? That is just some metal yet it costs so much. Materials and labor together shouldn't cost whoever makes those more than $50. Damn supply and demand economics.

yeah money is a pain in the ***, but personally i kinda don't mind, because when the car gets to the level i want it to be and preforms the way i want it to then it will all be worth it. then i can say it's MY car no one has a car that i like this one, sure it might look similar and some of the parts might be the same, but even then those people who are similar will understand how great your car is...i'm rambling, but you get my point?

yeah, yea, no. but thanks for trying.

S14SE or Z32NA rear hubs are the ONLY ones that work. Z32TT will NOT WILL NOT WILL NOT WILL NOT WORK. Say it with me "I WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO USE Z32TT REAR HUBS ON MY S CHASSIS." ok great.

i've already covered this.http://www.sillbeer.com/5lugswap.phplearn it live it love it. and then send monies and attractive sisters.

the part that would make me cry is if, after an hour of pounding, twisting, and shoving, it did go on. then you know something just broke.

hour? man it took me like 4 hours to do my rear 5 lug. stupid 15 year old dirt buildup. but no, it will not go together correctly with z32tt rear hubs.

oh i know. the splines are different and i want to say that the axle end is slightly thicker than the 240's. i'm just being an ***

And that's why Bambi hates you.

[90ka24de]

cant i just use the whole arm to rotors ?

i was so glad when i found this a few weeks back, you did the best job with this, it makes it easier by far than any other

[cdlong]

oops, my bad, i thought he said it was going on a 97 240. i still don't see what your problem with the back was, i never said anything about using TT parts.

[BuudWeizErr]

yes, your other option is to yank everything off of an S14.

-LCA-Spindle-Hub-etc.

this will push your wheel out an extra 10mm though. imagine whatever 5 lug wheel you want to put on your car with a 10mm lower offset. thats what it will look like.
