so what rear 5-lug hubs can be used for a 5lug conversion. i know z32 and s14 and aftermarket, but i was wondering about other nissan or infinitis. cuz i can easily get 5lug hubs from other nissans/infinitis.

I know you can use the brakes off of a Q45, so Im assuming you can use Q45 hubs too.

Don't hold me to that though, Im just throwing it out there in case it is right.

EDIT: I see that Q45 hubs are the same as the z32 TT hubs, and after searching no one seemed to answer the question whether or not you can make those work on an S13.

not sure of this at all but i was thinking maybe one from a j30 should work. also ones form s15 work. i know how many s15 can we find laying around.

I am pretty damn sure that the 300zx TT hubs do not work. But hey, don't hold me o that either

most definetly I think that you might be able to use q45 hubs which are supposedly the same as z32 TT hubs which I am almost sure that you can't use, but don't hold me to that either. I would like to know this as well...

From what I've heard, you need S14 SE hubs up front and for the rear you can use S14 SE hubs or 300zx hubs. Not 100% sure, but that's what I've seen from reading around the forum.

if u use the s14 fronts i think u need the spindles too or the different bearings in it, i dont remember. i know s14 and z32 rears are direct swaps.

so nobody really knows what cars rear hubs are interchangable with s13's?

USDM S13 240sx and JDM 180sx and S14 and S15 and any year NA Z32 rear hubs are all interchangeable. J30 hubs alone will press into any of the above mentioned car bearing sets.

TT hubs do not interchange with any of the smaller car's bearing sets.

If you do S14 fronts you need the hub, spindle, and lower control arm and press a (preferably new) S13 ball joint into the S14 front LCA.

Or aftermarket front.

Do not use Z32 fronts, J30 fronts, Q45 fronts, Z31 fronts.

I was making a joke about the vagueness of everyone's answers. guess it wasn't a very good joke. but trust sr_smith to know what he is talking about.so the only way to change the front to 5 lug is either s14 with all those parts or aftermarket hubs right?

Technically speaking:The S14 and S13 front hubs are basically the same, minus the 4 and 5lug difference.You CAN use the S14 front hub only! and press an S13 bearing into it. The S13 and S14 bearing outer diameters are the same, it's the inner diameters that are different.
