question bout 5lug swap.

[s13 iDRIFT]

could i use my stock s13 calipers if i get s14 rotors? this is for the rear if it helps. may seem like a stupid question. everytime i searched 5lug swap i cant find what im looking for, i will prolly get flamed by some. please help me. thank you

i think the rotor size is the same...

[s13 iDRIFT]

yea i just read that on some forum, but the swap is from a q45 i believe. would my calipers bolt to them?

[poshatch]

you used the q45 uprights?

[s13 iDRIFT]

well i havent bought it yet, the guy i am getting it from said it has everything i need but the calipers and rotors.

[poshatch]

well im just doing a bit of looking around online

this is what i found so far:

the q45 uprights are simmilar to the z32 uprights, i think requiring a larger axel from the TT z32, and that since they are similar the z32 calipers and rotors work on it as well, and if the z32 calipers and rotors work on it

then the s13 calipers and rotors will work on it as well since its all interchangable

and i think the dimensions on the s14 are the same as the s13 rotors

[s13 iDRIFT]

so i could pretty much use my calipers and get s14 rotors?

im not really good at understanding some stuff.

[poshatch]

im like 95% sure that yes you could do that lol

maybe somebody who has done something similar can chime in but im fairly confident that it would work, if not redrill your s13 ones?

p.s. your car is very clean

[s13 iDRIFT]

sounds good, ill look at them more tonight, and thats my old car. here is my new one.

[poshatch]

still clean i like white, i had a white hatch and crahed it so now i got this fugly thing, painting it soon though white and sparkles

the chasis was abbused so hard so i just dont really car about how it looks i just dont want any unnecisary attention

[TheRealNap0le0n]

why not just use S14 rear hubs and then everything is bolt on and you dont need to buy new axles

[poshatch]

weight! lol idono i think they are lighter than the s chasis ones

[OutToWinPAHC]

Q45 backing plates, Z32 NA/S14 5 lug hubs, Q rotors, Q calipers, make ebrake cables.

Or just run S chassis rear brakes.

[Kraelic]

Yes you can get the S14 SE 5 lug rotors for the rear and use your stock brake hardware after getting Nissan S14, Z32, or Q45 5 lug hubs.
For the front you need S13 5 lug conversion hubs or a lot of S14 parts to use the S14 SE rotors or opt for Q45 rotors and Q45 calipers and brackets (but use the S13 bolts on the Q45 brackets) for more stopping power while still using stock brake lines.

Lots of info there on 5 lug conversion and Z brakes, near the bottom is info on the Q45 gear.
