hi guys,basically i have a non turbo R32 GTS with 4 lug pattern and i am trying to do a 5 lug conversion. parts i already have are all GTR brakes, calipers, rotors, hubs/knuckles(basically the whole assembly minus the shock/spring combo off of a R32 GTR) and a set of GTR coilovers. so i am just wondering, what modifications are needed to make the rear fit? and are the fronts a direct bolt on with the GTR coilovers? thanks alot

Shocks won't work, rears are different. To my memory the fronts are the same.

As far as the brakes, I think you can just swap the hubs. If the car is HICAS and the parts are from a non-HICAS car you will have trouble trying to swap the parts, the tie rod is not the same.

Where the rear shocks bolt to on the bottom is different. Doesn't matter if they are stock or aftermarket. If it's for a BNR32, it won't bolt up on the bottom to anything but a GT-R, or a GTS-4 without modifications.

Odds are yours is not HICAS. This presents a problem. If you can retain the spindles and change the hub no worries.
