ok D'freaq Unlimited is proud to announce a completely new product for a group buy. Never before seen in the U.S. 4 and 5 lug combination hubs. High quality factory Nissan bearings.Plus European style threaded heat treated studs. Switch from 4 to 5 lug, just by using the the different stud holes on the hub face. Extra thich base and face, for durability equal to the thickness of another brands Pro line!! Street and track tested. Excellent for anyone that wants to go 5 lug, but does not have 5 lug wheels. Great for people that want to keep some of their 4 lug wheels around! Give yourself options. Options no one else gives, yo!
This is a group buy for this and we need a minimum of 5 people but there are 10 sets available now.
These will go for $750 shipped. for all 4 corners. possibility of fronts only or rears only is possible but prices will go up.
Currently fronts are for S13's rears are for both S14 and S13.
OK WE ARE GOING DO A SPECIAL!! first 5 people in get them for $675 shipped but you have to commit!! no humming and hawwing.
Also this group buy is officially an open meaning that you order and pay they ship!!

Those are awesome!! The only problem is that you have to swap rotors as well....meh, still worth it IMO. If we miss the groupbuy these will still be available just at different pricing correct? Whats the regular price?

...and I was gonna finally get my credit card paid off! :ugh:

EDIT: will changing studs frequently wear out the hubs or put mroe stress on them make them more prone to breaking? Just kinda curious after I noticed how close a couple of the stud holes were. Also, does changing out the studs require a press? (haven't had to do it before)

no, the hub faces are thick steel. you do not need a press to change out the studs.

actually you would just need to drill out your rotors for 4/5 lug as well.

anyway, is there anything else necessary for these to be used on an s13, since if i were to use 5-lug s14 front hubs on an s13 i'd also have to use the s14 spindle bushings...

Is it safe? Sorry if this seems like a noob question. And just wondering how much would shipping be to send it to Hawaii 96782? Thanks and sorry again.

i think the main issue would be rotational balance.


...if that's really even an issue. perhaps it's already been considered in the design.

The fronts are currently designed for S13.
if you use a stock s14 5 lug hub on a S13 you do need a S14 spindle, as well as a S14 ball joint or the whole s14 front LCA.
You do not with these Hubs!
This is why the were designed for S13's to start. So the S13 owner can just put it on without any of that. On top of that more S13 owners are likely to want to do the conversion and are more likely to already have 4 lug wheels they may want to keep.
A S14 front 4/5 combi is in the works. The rears of course could be used on either.
As far as rotational balance goes there is no issue there . They have been been tested both way. Like I stated in the opening post these have been tested on the street and the track, already.

j_ren180, I will look into shipping to Hawaii, As far as someone running them goes there is someone on here that currently has them on his car. He may wind up posting in the thread about it.

I suppose s14 peeps could just do what s13 owners do when they use s14 hubs... Right...?

Whats is the size of the hole for the hub bolts so people know what size knurl diameter hub bolts they will be needing?

Are they sized to fit standard Nissan 14.3 or 13.0 knurl diameter hub bolts? Or some custom size?

just curious...

Looks to me that the studs are not pressed in but threaded in? Am I correct? BTW Very nice product!!:aw:

actually, this product has been around for S13,14,and 15's(for a few more too ) for a while. just not state side.

here's a pic from the 03 edition of Hyper rev for silvias.

not knocking the product, quality, or price, just this is not a totally new product, just new stateside.

ok guys little clarification here on my part. The studs are high quality European style threaded and heat treated. Yes there is a little locktite on them(its for added safety).
They are not Nissan studs. I made a mistake in the original post due to miscommunication. These hubs will be in stock in a week and a half. Hence why I started the group buy now.
As far as shipping to Hawaii goes , it will have to be determined. Right now just shipping at set of fronts comes in at $100. so we are most like talking about $100 extra for full set shipments to Hawaii.
As far as front and rear seperates go it goes like this
rears $325 per set before shipping
Fronts $325 per set before shipping ( domestic ship prices will pobably come in around $50 per set.

shipping to Hawaii is not cheap because these things are not light. Basically your looking at $425 shipped for fronts. That also means for a full set, It would be around $100 extra for shipping to Hawaii.

WOW, that's sweet, you can kinda work your way up to 5 lug. Instead of having to have everything at once.

How hard would it be to change from 4 to 5 and back again?

Damn I'd so be on those if I had the damn money :(

Ok this group has been turned into a Open group buy. That means that you order the hubs and pay for them and they ship.

ok, after getting the first batch in and inspecting them, I have decided that I want the shop to improve on them, before letting them out to the public. So I am pulling the group buy for the time being, I will repost it when they are to my liking.
