Ok so I'm planning on doing the 5 lug swap on my s13. Today I was bored and decided to test fit the s14 spindle to see what all I was going to need to do to get it to fit. Well I took it apart and just stuck it together well enough to see how it looked and how far I was going to need to space my 300zx wheels out. When I went to put the s13 spindle back on, the spindle nut wouldn't go back on! Somehow the threads are damaged. I don't see anything, but it just won't go on and the ball joint just spins. So I'm like DAMN! Ok, so I figure, I'll just put the s14 ball joint on and try that. Well I was also swapping over to the s14 outer tierod end and I realize that the s14 tierod end's threads are bigger! This time I said ****! I thought you had to swap to s14 tie rod ends? If I'm wrong, please tell me!!! I also realized that to get the s14 spindle to work I'd have to redrill the smaller rotor for 5 lugs, get bigger bolts for the strut bolts. Unfortunatly it's saturday and everything is closed. So my question is, is it going to hurt anything to drive using the s13 spindle with an s14 ball joint in for 2 days? I don't plan on driving anywhere tommorrow, but I don't know if I can get off work monday, so I may have to drive then. My car is in peices right now and if you could help, that would be great! Thanks ahead of time,Ryan
