I searched but found no answer. I'm wonder if the r33 axels are splined the same and will fit the 4 lug hubs. I need to know becuase if they do indeed fit it would help me out tremindously, I have the r33 rear 5 lug hubs but I dont have the money at the moment to buy the break lines to do the brake swap and the tires for the rims. so if they do fit I'll pimp the old brakes and tires for a few weeks until i can swap. so I'm looking for good news!help me out

r33 axles will fit just fine.. but if your gonna take all the time put them on.. might as well just put the 5 lug hubs on.. thats what i did.. im using stock s-14 5 lug rotors and stock brake calipers.. i didnt feel like messing with the r33 rear brakes.. its not that hard. but if your keeping the 4 lug it will fit being its still 36mm just like the 5 lug 36mm.

AWESOME!!! I have all 4 rotors and calipers and the 5 lugs hubs I just can't buy the brake lines at the moment or the tires to put on the 300zx rims. So when I'll get all that lined up I'll just pull the hubs off and do the hub and brake swap. THANKS AGAIN MAN

So is is safe to say, that R33 front hubs are also 36mm and can be used to replace the 4 lug front hubs on an s14?

yes, its safe. be prepared to beat your old 4 lugs off.. mine were like welded to my spindles, it took a 5 pound slege from the back side of the hub about 10 good hard wacks to break um free.. age does that sometimes..

EDIT! no no no, the front hubs off an r33 will not work, the nut is placed on the inside part of the spindle, the hubs are completely different.. the rears that are 36mm fit just fine tho. your gonna need to get either s14 5 lug hubs, or by A/M ones.
