Help Wanted

[Brandon1605]

First off, I posted this in suspension, etc, but the traffic is dismal and you rarely get an answer. So Im posting it here too.

Ok, after reading through like 27 pages worth of threads hoping for some info, I havent found much. Searched Google as well, and nothing. So, I see all these topics about swapping in Q30, Z32, etc brakes and hubs. But, my question is; is this necessary for the 5 lug swap or can I buy the aftermarket 5 lug hubs and thats all I need for the swap? (minus new 5 lug rotors) I thought I saw somewhere on here that the Zenki SE parts could be bolted on to make an S13 5 lug, but I cant find the post anymore nor can I remember what it detailed.

Anyway, what Im getting at is how exactly do I make my S13 5 lug? I see all kinds of posts detailing the brake swaps, but nothing specific about the 5 lug swap.

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked out this thread? Seems pretty informativehttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/333501

Thanks for the post.

However, its still no really clear on what I need. My question is; if I buy aftermarket 5 lug hubs from Ichiba or whatever, is that all I technically need to make my car 5 lug, or is there more to it? Alternatively, if I can find a 5 lug S14, will the parts from it just bolt up to my S13, making it 5 lug? Thats the part Im confused on. I get the whole brake conversion and VLSD, but thats not what Im looking for right now. I just want to know how to convert my S13 to 5 lug.

the hubs should work fine if your not getting the z32 brakes

If you just do the hubs then buy s14 brake rotors and install all parts. If you get used s14 parts, then buy the s14 spindle and hub and lower control arms. Rear, just hubs. I think anyway, thats what I did.

Thank you. This is more of what I was wanting to know. So, if I go the route with the aftermarket hubs, all I will need is a 5 lug rotor? My brakes should be fine or do I need the S14 brakes (calipers) for clearance?
