Just complete my 5lug swap. I put it in gear and disengage the clutch and car goes no where. It sounds like my shaft teeth that spin the wheel are just stripping. . When I put in 1st gear, it just rolls. could it be the diff?

So I am just gonna get 5 lug hubs and go back to stock calipers in the rear. This route will cost around $300 as to buying $800 brand new hubs/bearings that are non-turbo. So LESSON LEARNED!!! DONT BUY REAR 300ZX TT HUBS. NOOOOB BOOOBY

you should have known the item before hand. did you ask the seller first if its for an NA?why did you swap the whole rear end? if all you need were hubs, knuckle, and spindle.

Don't use Ichiba hubs for the rear. Get z32 NA hub. OEM quality is better than Ichiba.
