i have an s13 with coilovers and stainless steel brake lines and wanted to keep them on. ive been looking at some stuff this guy on another forum is selling and has 5 lug hub and rotors with wheels included for a decent price. i asked him if its a complete swap and he tells me its a complete swap, all i need to do is use my old brakes. the guy is parting out his s14. ive searched and only found a complete list of parts u need for the 300zx swap. i havent found a complete everything i need s14 5 lug onto a s13. so if anybody can give me advice on what is a complete swap from an s14 to an s13 5 lug that be great. thanks!

Calipers and pads are interchangable between S13 and S14. Front spindles are not so for an S14 5-lug swap, you'll need the front hub, spindle, rotor, balljoint. You'll still be able to use your S13 caliper and pads. For the rear, all you'll need is the 5-lug hub and rotor. Same thing with the calipers and pads for the rear. Good luck

You really need to search the info your asking for is in here i just looked at it 2 days ago.

for the front you need to use the s13 lca with the s14 balljoint,
you need to use z32 convo lines if you use z32 brakes if you use q45's you can use the stock ones
your also going to need to drill out the spindle if you have coilovers since the hole is smaller on the s13

This is all I'm going to say everything else is common sense Read the FSM if you dont want to read it LOOK at the pics

and if you don't want to drill out coilovers for whatever reason, you can buy those sleeve adapters to fit the bolt on the coilovers,

5lugsleeves.com or something... it's there if you kept on searching... i know this topic pops up quite a bit...

Cheaper and easier to get ichiba hubs. Or get attain/gto if you wanna spend extra for jdm tyteness

I just picked up and installed those S5 hubs from a vendor here. It was too easy!
