I have a 1992 240sx s13 hatchback. This is my first time being here so I will try and make this sound as intelligent as I can. My name is John. I am the owner of ChristianKustoms in Westminster, Md 21157. I have recently bought a 1992 240sx s13 and I have a 1991 300zx parts car (by mere coincidence). I want to use my thruxton tsw 18" wheels but they are 5 lug and my 240sx is a 4 lug. I was told there might be a way to swap the hubs, calipers, rotors spindles etc. with that from the Z. But some Q's have risen in my mind. I am a mechanic but as far as some of the experimental swapping of parts from other donor cars has me a bit in awe of you guys. It takes alot of talent to figure these things out. However I am not one of them right now. However, if possible can I swap parts? Can I use parts from the 300zx TT? Are the axle shafts the same spline? Will the hubs bolt right on? Will there be any problem with fitment of the wheels and the shocks etc? Could someone tell me a step by step direction on , not how to necessarily install them but what to do to make it work and what will work and what wont. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.John

Sorry I forgot to tell you I have that blasted ka24de engine in it. Next upgrade will be to the skyline TT engine. Any help would be appreciated. I have a time limit to get this done and I am running out of it. Dibs to whoever can teach this dog a new trick.
