I am adamantly opposed to drilling a hole in the Z32 rotors to fiton the 4 lug hub. Obviously I can go the 5-lug conversion route, but that seems like a lot of work just to make the rotors bolt up. (PLus I'd have to toss my wheels, etc).

I heard a rumor that there was a Volvo rotor in the correct 4 lug pattern that was the same dimension and width as the Z32 rotor, and thus would fit with Z32 calipers and S13 4 lug hubs. Can anyone verify this, or some other setup that will work?

Look here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7978531139&category=33564)

I saw these on ebay, the 4 pot calipers with stock 4 lug rotors. I'm assuming the brakes came off of an S14 that was 4 lug? I'm not sure, but it's interesting. at least for someone not going 5 lug. :rawk:

Take off your stock rotor and set it on top of the z32 rotor. One hole lines up, mark the other holes and drill them out yourself pussy. Thats how i did mine and they turned out perfect.

I am well aware of that. I don't think you need to call someone a "pussy" in response to a simple question of whether there are any 4-lug rotors that fit with the Z32 caliper. I am not a fan of drilling holes in brake rotors, especially when the car will see significant road course time. If it comes down to it, then I will. Thanks.

And 240trainee, the car already has Z32 brakes so that's a no-go.

Heh Im sure people woulda figure out a replacement by now, it doesn't hurt yours to redrill um, so just do it.

People have figured out how to get 3000gt vr4 stuff to work so... Im pretty sure they'd have something

Otherwise go ask that asad guy on fresh alloy hes the guru on z32 brakes.

Understand your concern trackstar- try asking on FA about it, maybe someone there can explain why it won't be an issue.
