Easiest/Simplest way to do a 5 lug conversion

[s13q]

Hello,

I have a S13 and want to do a 5 lug conversion, would my conversion work?

Hubs: 89-94 Nissan 240SX/S13 Front Hub 5 Lug Conversion, by Drop Engineering (http://www.dropengineering.com/drop-nissan-s13-front-hub-conversion.html)

Front: 5 lug conversion hubs, S14/S15 rotors with S14/S15 calipers
Rear: 5 lug conversion hubs, S14/S14 rotors with same S13 calipers

I dont want to be messing around with arms, LCA's, handbrake cables and such but Id like a brake upgrade upfront. So would my plan work?

Thanks in advance

Just make sure that hub has a good bearing on it. There's tons of threads about this.

I have front 5 lug hubs for an s13 (bolt on).

I think one might need a fresher bearing pressed in.

But I only want $150 shipped. So you're still saving over 50% off.

Ebay. Exact same thing. Swap bearings front. Z32 hubs rear. S14 brake rotors. Simple as that. $200 max

Lol @ $200 max. I wish!

[towlie]

Brake rotors $50 used. Front hubs $60 eBay. $20 @ machine shop. $20 for rear hubs from junkyard

Brake rotors $50 used. Front hubs $60 eBay. $20 @ machine shop. $20 for rear hubs from junkyard

More like: front rotors $40 used, front hubs $120, rear hubs $80, rear rotors $20 used

If you can find all four hubs for $80, not only will I buy 20 sets... I'll eat my shoes too.

This argument is retarded, you obviously don know where/how to get deals

You got it.

lulz at buying used rotors.....


OP, buy Q45 calipers for the front and new rotors, much better than s14.

Redrill front rotors: Free
Redrill front hubs: Free

Thanks for all the advice, really helped me.

So if I get 2x these: JDM Nissan Z32 300zx Twin Turbo Rear Right Hub Bearing Assembly | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-Nissan-Z32-300zx-Twin-Turbo-Rear-Right-Hub-Bearing-Assembly-/290744733115?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b1bc8dbb)

They will straight bolt on to the rear of the S13? and Ill just put on S14 rotors using S13 calipers.

Then at the front Ill get aftermarket hubs with S14 rotors and calipers?

Just confirming, thanks!

You need n/a hubs. Axle sizes differ. You can use stock s13 calipers

Get j30 hubs machined, $90 is what I spent on front hubs after labor including price of hubs at junkyard and reused my good old s13 bearings. $30 both NA z32 rear hubs at junkyard, redrill your rotors if you're a cheap ass, $15 on milwaukee drillbit.
