Well I m looking into purchasing my first S13. I have found one that already has 5 lug conversion hubs in front and S14 SE hubs in the rear. (what is the difference between these two?) Nissan 300zx twin turbo 4 piston calipars upfront with PowerSlot slotted/treated rotors and axxis pads. Stock s14 wheels. 3'' Tanabe exhaust(cat back). The asking price is 4,500. It is a 93 manual with 145,000 mile on it. What is a good price for this car. If I bought a stock S13 how much would it cost me to get the conversion done myself? Any help would be great!

That sounds a bit high to me. I'd be more around the 4k mark if it was really nice. It's commonly accepted that a full 5-lug conversion on an s13 is 1k.

MrLeo, the market up here is insane! SR swapped s13's go for no less than $6500. Some I've seen as high as $8500, and that's for what is basically a good Sr, surrounded by beat up body parts.

Autotrader advertisers still have some of the uncut cars, locally they usually run ads at or around $2500-3000. I say grab the local autotrader when it comes out each Friday, and call the sellers immediately, because there's about 3540353 other guys looking for the same cars right now.
