I was wondering how much you all would be willing to pay for someone to sell you s14/s15 spindles, s14/s15 5-lug hubs & bearings, s14/15 strut bolts, s14/s15 5-lug rear hubs, and s13 lower control arms w/ new Moog s14 ball joints already pressed in? The spindle, hub, and hub/bearings would be off of JDM Silvias, so the wear and tear would be much less than what you'd find in a junk yard. This would be a complete bolt on affair. All you'd need are the rotors and brakes.
I could also supply, if you wanted, the calipers and/or rotors from JDM s14/s15's...for those that don't know, they are the equivalent to the 30mm iron Z32 calipers. I'd rather not though, because they are heavy and shipping costs begin to rise substantially. I could also press in Whiteline LCA bushings (for an extra charge of course) and there would be a core charge for your old LCA's.
Is this something that interests you guys or would it be a complete waste of my time?:)
Please let me know!:D
5-lug s13 swap interest?

Toad[^_^], Those hubs alone cost $450 and you're still stuck with tired ball joints, tired bushings, and maybe even a slightly warped spindle causing weird alignment and vibration issues. Not to mention that not everyone has the money for coilovers (custom at that) and not everyone wants to go through the headache of changing out the rear brakes to z brakes. I'm just trying to make everyone's 5-lug swap a bit easier and a bit cheaper. 
aaronsnocker1, I'm really trying to figure out what this would be worth to you and people like you. Then I'll figure out if it's worth it for me.

Well, there are no spindles on the rear, it's a knuckle. S14/S15 rear hubs, along w/ n/a z32 rear hubs bolt on to the stock knuckle and axle no problem. I know the upper mounts are the same, but the lower mounts are different. Z's have a fork type bottom mount...that's what I was referring to.

sorry. knuckle and spindle usually mean the same in my vocabulary 
I'm wanting to upgrade to Z brakes in the rear with the aluminum knuckles, but I'm not willing to convert to 5 lugs all the way around yet because i don't have the money to afford a new set of wheels and tires. What I'm trying to do is figure if it's possible to swap the knuckles from a Z32 to an S13 and retain a 4 lug hub.

I decided there wasn't enough interest for me to go through with this. If you just want to buy some parts, I can help out with that though. My email is [email protected]
