OK heres my dilemma.. i bought front n rear hubs from an 89 300zx i think it was, mighta been like a 90 or 91. never saw the car in person, its a guy i work with he has a junk parts car. Well the rear hubs bolt on no prob. Front hubs are completely different story. They have a hole for a cv axle to go thru, the knuckle itself is a completely different style than the stocker. Anyone know what yr 300zx front hubs will work for the five lug conversion for sure? Any links to a diy site for the front hubs? any help at all would be very much appreciated!!

300zx front hubs will not work on a 240sx, the front axles on 300zx's are all bigger than the 240sx's thusly none will work.

Your best bet is to either get s14 front hubs, yet those require some more finesse to workor get aftermarket like ichiba fronts

S14 SE 5 Lug OEM

This requires you to buy the hub and spindle assembly. It also requires you purchase a S14 ball joint for the lower control arm. AND you will need to keep the S14 bolts and drill out your S13 strut bolt holes OR purchase 'cuffs' for the S13 bolts; the reason this is, is because the S14 spindle/upright has larger holes/bolts for the strut. But at least this way you can claim its OEM.

I'm currently collecting 5 lugs parts myself, so there ya go...
