I have a 74 260Z that is a long term project car that I am about to start working on. I am closing in on finishing up with the convertible 240SX that I have.

There will probably be a series of questions about this car as I get into it, but the first is how hard is a 5 lug conversion on this car? I have a spare set of 5 lug hubs from a Z32 and I also have access to a set of 5 lug hubs from an S14. I haven't started tearing anything apart, merely wanted to know if anyone else has done it already. I also have 3 sets of Nissan 5 lug wheels sitting around.

I don't plan to do anything terribly crazy with the car. Simple restoration and new paint, freshening of the engine, different wheels, and perhaps brakes upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

the fron conversion is pretty easy, if you go with the s13 or z32 you'll have to fad your own brake caliper brackets, the standard conversion uses z31 hubs and rotors with toyota 4 piston calipers, I think I small spacer is required to center the rotor in the caliper
