Hey guys...Im a new s13 owner...im in the process of building the car and i want to do a 5 lug conversion on my car. I saw two 1990 300zx NA's at my local junkyard and i want to go get some stuff off of it. I want to get the front and rear brake calipers, the rear discs, ebrake assembly, and hubs. DO i need the uprights? I talked to the owner of the yard briefly, he mentioned giving me the ENTIRE rear end, and i mean everything for 800...is this a bit high? Anyways....Basically im just looking for a parts list of what ill need to complete a rear 5 lug conversion as well as use the rear z32 brakes and ebrake....let me know..thanks guys!

$800 for the complete rear subframe isnt too bad. I wouldnt pay it, but pretty close to what they sell for.

Its very hard to get the ebrake drum off with the upright still on the car. But no, you dont have to get the uprights to use the other rear brake parts.

My mom's in Albuquerque this week. Where are these cars??

She wouldnt know a disc from a drum, haha.

Your list looks good, but ebrake assembly/drums are the same thing. Be sure to get the ebrake cables as well. I assume youre getting the front calipers and rotors. You can also use the diff it you find 5 bolt J30 axles (93-94 models, I think).

I think Im just going to save my money on the diff for a kaaz or the like further on down the road. What 5 lug front hubs will work? Im guessing the front z32 hubs arent compatible. I probably will get the front calipers however. Thanks for your help this far btw.

The rear hubs will work. Don't forget to get the rear brakes and ebrake setup. Also don't forget the brake master and MAF.
