I saw a post somewhere about a 5 lug conversion for the s13... what is that, how do you do it, how much.... please lemme know and also if you've got the offset and bolt pattern that'd be great too

 

Yeah....you can take the 300zx brakes and put them on to the S13..... you can find the kit at allot of places such as PDM racing, it might be some what pricey, but it's worth it if you have a turbo KA or some motor swap such as the SR or RB. You can sometimes find the brake upgrade on ebay or possibly at a local junk yard, but good luck with that.

 

I think he was looking on information on the 5 lug conversion, not the brake swap.

You can convert an S13 to 5 lug by getting the steering knuckle from an S14 SE and swapping it on. The strut bolts used on the S14 are slightly thicker than on the S13, so you will have to enlarge the bolt holes in your struts.

For the rears, I think you can use the hubs from an S14 SE or n/a Z32. I'm told the rear uprights from a Z32 can also be used, but there is a little fabrication involved in the shock mounting. The Z32's rear upright is aluminum and represents a decent weight savings over the stock S13 steel piece.

Sounds straight forward enough, thanks guys... now about the sizes and everything... offset and bolt pattern? any clue?

 

Bolt pattern will be 5x114.3.

Usable offset depends on the size of wheel / tire you plan on running. I would bet that the offset on the stock S14 SE wheels is somewhere in the neightborhood of +40mm.

If you don't wanna go through so much crap changing the front, Attain makes direct bolt on hubs. You need to import them though. http://www.ksp-eng.co.jp/ATTAIN/

 

Attain has much power of speed. Unfortunately, that's all I could read.

Are there any US importers or an English website? As it stands, it's easier for me to drill a couple of holes than to learn Japanese.

You're lucky,
We currently got 1 set of 5 lug conversion available. It is from a S14 Silvia.

the price will depends on what you want included.

Type this url www.ksp-eng.co.jp/ATTAIN/menu5/5.html into this translater http://babelfish.altavista.com It comes out a little stupid but you get the idea. The only place I've heard of importing these are jspec.com in the project S13 article at www.nissanperformancemag.com

 

Hmm... nice product. I'm hoping the price is for the pair (~$340).

Luckily my needs are modest and I can find suitable wheels in 4x114.3 (although not in the backspacing I would like...)
