for the fronts, you'll need an S14 knuckle, S14 5 lug hub, and an S14 ball joint to press into your LCA. Also, you'll need the strut bolts. They're a bit larger than the S13's, so you'll also have to enlarge the holes in your struts to get them to work.

as for the S14 (or Z32, the style of hub wasn't clarified) rear hubs just bolting up, i can't verify that.

knuckle is the spindle. The suspension members connect together at the spindle.

LCA is lower control arm.

thanks crzycav86. So the 5lug wheel hubs won't fit onto the s13 knuckle.

yes, A LOT of people have done this. its not difficult, but you need to know what youre looking at, and what exactly you need to switch.
