Hi I bought my 240sx a couple of months ago and received this 5 lug conversion kit and was wondering if anyone knew if this would fit or if its off from a Z32 or just a regular 240 SE anyways here's the pictures

get some pictures of the back, or someone more knowledgeable mayb be able to say. but i don't recognize those brackets. However, if they are either s14 or z32, they should fit fine.

The Rears are Z32 the front are more than likely Z32 also but not sure

Youp Z32
msg length
someone sent you front and rear Z32 hubs/bearings and uprights..
out of all that, you can only use the rear 5 bolt hub.. you can't even use that rear bearing since it has a tab on top and that's for the z32 e-brake assembly which is different than the S14/S13.
You could get the e-brake assembly, rear rotors, rear calipers, R33 e-brake cables and then you could use the rear hub/bearing together.
As for the fronts, you can't use the Z32 ones at all on an S14/S13.
edit: btw, that rear hub has to be from a Z32 that was NA. If it's from a TT, then you can't even use that since it won't slide onto the output shafts from your diff..

Completely incorrect. The tab has no effect when using it on an S13 or S14, Both models have the hole already drilled in the upright to accept the Z32 hardware if you wanted to use it, or you can keep the OE calipers/rotors and do nothing else but swap the hub/bearing assembly. You do NOT need to upgrade to Z32 brakes to use Z32 bearings. And those are NA, you can easily tell by looking at them. The TT has a smaller diameter race.
The fronts however are completely useless. Sell them or scrap the aluminum for a few bucks.

Thanks for the replies guys. Actually the guy who sold me the car just gave them to me and I put them in the rear seat. Since the weather's been so bad I haven't really done much with the car, and just was wondering if I should even install these or actually get some better ones.

I didn't realize you could use the Z32 bearing with the tab on top with the standard s13/s14 rear calipers/rotors.. I thought that tab would have gotten in the way with the standard s13/s14 calipers/rotors..I know the hole on the tab is used to hold the z32 e-brake assembly in place, but the e-brake assembly and rotors on the Z32's are completely different than S13/s14 ones..
Nonetheless, that's good info to know.. thanks..
In any case, the later Z32 rear bearings are the same as S14 ones (i.e. no tab on top.. I think 95+ Z32's or something like that).

If you remove the dust shield you will see that the tab lines up with the hole on the 240sx rear knuckle. The dust shield makes it look wrong but once you take it off they fit just fine.

The tab simply sits on top of the OE dust shield, just as it would with Z32 hardware. The clearance to the rotor is more than enough, at least three inches. Of course most people just remove the shield anyway, but either way it's fine.
