Damn, tight budget and mods won't go well together. Cheapest way is junkyard looking for 95+ SE 240sx. I'd just get the conversion from http://www.spl.com. Put in on a credit card and worry bout it later.

why are you doing a five lug swap if you are on a budget? there is no real performance gain from it. it just makes finding wheels easier.

as for cheapest way, s14 rear hubs, s14 front hub, spindle, control arm (be careful, it's a little longer). open up the holes on the stock shocks so the larger s14 bolts fit.

and why is this in the SR section?

the control arm is 10mm longer i've read.

the only swap i've done was on an s14. not nearly as extensive, just sawpping hubs.

if i were to do in on my s13 i would either use attain hubs or conversion control arms from http://www.pdm-racing.com

Those Attain hubs are 'special'. They fit on the S13 spindle. To use stock S14 5 lug hubs, you have to replace your S13 spindle with a S14's...Check out this threadhttp://www.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=95403

glad to see we all figured out that 5 lugs have nothing to do with SRs. Closed.
