You can redrill stock rotors.

and thats it?
Okay this is the last time.

FRONT
Attain/GTO/Peak Performance Hub (bearing's included)
5 lug rotor or Redrilled stock

Rear
NA 300ZX/S14/S15 (do NOT need to change bearing unless damaged)
5 lug rotor or Redrilled stock

If you cant understand this then please sell your car.

Thanks

I'm sorry that I am not as uber/leet as you about 240sx's. I have read many places and they all use different things so I was trying to figure out exactly what I needed.

I read that you needed new S13 bearings for the s14 hubs on a vendor website and was trying to figure out if they were just trying to sell a new part for $300.

Thank you for clairfying this though.

Artic- I know you can redrill stock but I am going to take this chance to upgrade the brakes while I am at it.

Not to be an ***, but read two posts above you. It states right here that NA Z32 hubs will work on our car in the rear only. Please read the thread more carefully next time.

It add both unsrung weight and rotating mass, both of which are detrimental to handling.

thats the only downsides?...or are there some kind of reliability issues?...cuz in that case i can make up the weight with rims, lugs...etc...cuz this is hella cheaper than buying hubs...

Why is it, this write to me seems so confusing.
It would of been much easier to just use the 1986 z31/turbo 5lug, to convert over to the s13.
Parts are cheaper and easier to find.

rotating mass only applies to wheels and bigger brakes.

Hubs are about the same size in diameter.

weight is about 2 ounces.

then again you have no idea what you are talking about.

You can also use the 300zx hubs but you need their spindle.

Here are the parts and numbers they may vary slightly from the z31/turbo to the s13...

that stuff from the Z31 doesnt look right????? I could be wrong cause its kinda confusing, but have you used these parts? or did it just look like you think they will work? wondering cause I know where a Z31 is sitting and I could get the whole conversion off of it for not much $$$$ and hook up someone on here.
