5 lug swap without big brake upgrade

Post by **Onizuka** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

ok i just want 5 lug and not 300zx brakes or anything like that. Does anybody know what parts i would need for the front and back? cause i dont want to spend over 1,000 on 5 lug aftermarket hubs....

Z32 for the rear, the hub is held on by four 19mm bolts, unbolt and bolt on. The front you can use S14 hubs but you need the lower arm, Did they come 5 lug in the states? Why dont you want bigger brakes? They are good for drifting.

Yeah they came in 5 lug with the SE, im not doing bigger brakes cause im broke, im just doing this so i can use a sweet set of used rims.

what about rotors for the rear? do i just have to use the stock 240 rotors and re drill them?

maybe, im really really really really broke, as in, i would have to borrow money. what kind of price would we be looking at? and would they work with stock s14 rotors?

Maybe you can email me or somethin.

They will come with rotors

Hows 100 sound? That will cover postage to your door.It does not have to be today, They are sitting in a box with a bunch of other cool junk I got.

Post by **Onizuka** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

Ooooo, im very interested, are they in decent condition? and what size are the rotors about?

Post by **YamaOni** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

About 12", I think, But I cant send you the S14 ones, They need to be rebuilt, but I am going to change my R32 front brakes to R33 and send you the R32 ones.

Post by **Onizuka** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

are they the same thing? cause i really need something that wont require alot of modification after the s14 spindles and arms....

Post by **YamaOni** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

The s14 ones are steel and the R32 ones are Aluminum

Just wanted to mention that you do not use the lower arm, but you use an S14 ball joint on an s13 arm. The s14 arm is too long. You'll need hubs, spindles, and LCA ball joint from a s14.

what about the holes for mounting up the lower part of the strut?? I was told(might be incorrect) that the bolt hole sizes are not the same.

You are correct, you would have to drill out your holes on your suspension to a slightly larger size because the bolt holes in the S14 spindles are bigger than on the S13. You would also have to use bigger bolts...

Anyone got part numbers or anything??? Or is this one of those stop being lazy and get up off your *** and find out for yourself kind of things

P/N for bolts: 4005670T10

LMAO Double Dori what would we do without you

Post by **SPIRO** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

Wait.. so for the rear I would only use the 5lug Z HUBS and NOT the entire spindle/knuckle assembly? Just makin sure

Post by **Dori Dori** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

No, you need the S14 5-lug hubs, spindles, and s14 lower control arm ball joints pressed into s13 control arms (if you have an s13). Oh, and those bolts.

Post by **SPIRO** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

Right that is for the front but for the rear all you need is a Z hub and not the spindle assembly right?

Post by **Dori Dori** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

Sorry, I just assumed that we were talking about the front.

You are correct, the z32 spindle/knuckle is not needed. Actually, you can't even use them if you wanted to unless you got a custom set of struts.

Post by **SPIRO** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

Great, thanks!

Post by **BlockHead** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

so how do you do a 5-lug conversion on the back without the z32 spindle/knuckle

Post by **Dori Dori** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

The z32 hub bolts right to the s13 knuckle. Go here for answers to all your questions.
