stanbo......you got the catalog, whats the bolt pattern on these bad boys? then what would be on the agenda as far as brakes go?
I checked the nine pages I have from the catalog. All that is covered is suspension parts like bushings and coilovers. There is a section on braces and solid links.

No 5-lug converter. It seems to me from reading the translation I got from the site these are brand new hubs from NISMO. They request that you press in a bearing so I do not take these as the 4/5 plate converters out on the market.

I would take it that they are 114.3 x 5. That is the size I normally see posted. I don't think they would stray from this when they are trying to sell you a product that would allow you to us their 5 lug brakes and rims.

I will search around some more this afternoon.

Stan-- so press in the bearings and throw the hubs on? sounds simple enough. cool, then use five lug S14 brakes.

are the S13 rotors the same size as 14's
logically speaking here:
1) press in bearings
2)slap on hub
3)throw on S14 rotor
4)then use same caliper?

Here is the abridged version:

S14 Spindle
5 lug hubs
S14 Ball joints pressed into s13 arms

E-Brake lines are different.
Arms have different hole sizes.
Rears use different shocks.
Rotors are different.
Calipers are different.

Post some more in depth questions and I will answer them.

Rude do you really need these 5 lugs? If you are in the market for larger brakes just go for the PDM kit. It uses the caliper and rotor from the 300zx. They make the SS lines to fit. The kit is bolt on and you will then enjoy the benefits.

nah stanbo, i know al of that. what i'm sayin is are those 5 lug jumpoffs from nismo a plug and play affair?
since we cant read japanese mabey they'll fit on our spindles. and IF they did then brake upgrades would be official.

think about it....the s13 has been around for like 13 years. you'd think some japanese tuner would fabricate an i'll product like that.

Stanbo i can't belive that you thought i missed out on the brake install on project silvia
