Hi, I bought a 5 lug conversion kit for my 92 S13, it's on the way & I have no clue what I can do for brakes. I know I could go through the whole Z32 swap & plan on maybe doing that later, for now, I would like to just get 5 hole rotors that would fit in my calipers with no other modifications. Does anyone know the size of stock rotors? & I don't want to redrill stock 4 hole rotors for trust reasons. please let me know if you need more info on my car, or what I should look for.

If your s13 has abs, just get some s14 rotors.If you dont have abs, then I have some calipers off of a s13 with abs that I did a z32 caliper upgrade on that I could sell you that would work with s14 rotors. This is only for the front. The rears are the same size for 5 lug and 4 lug 240sx.

just drill them, it's a lot harder to screw up than you think.

read this thread, specifically my post, it's the second one on page two. zerothread?id=172609

Wow that did make my feel better, the shop I could buy stock sized brembo(IIRC) rotors from even said they'd drill them for free. I was more concerned about them shattering under intense heat or force. So I can trust a drilled rotor just as much as an unmodified one?
