Okay so i did the rear end conversion last night i ordered the conversion brake lines and the only thing left is the e brake set up. I got my 5 lug hubs from a 96 300zx n/a even the aluminum knuckles and lower control arms that im not going to use. oh and it was a 300zx 2+2. I herd from a "small bird who came from the Grape Vine" that there are extension brackets for the s chassis. now as for the front i do have the 300zx n/a hubs lower control arms and aluminum knuckles as well but im just going to use the ichiba conversion hubs. Is it possible to press out the cheap chines wheel bearings in the ichiba hubs and press in s13 hubs?

I've got R33 cables under my s14 with a working Z32 e-brake assembly. The mounts won't connect at the subframe but it seems to work fine without them... the connection at the base of the handle is just as the OEM s14 lines were. I've had it on there for a few years now, no problems, locks up hard.

I've used 2+2 cables before, they fit fine.
As far as using the hubs, use the rear and get a z32 coilover mount for your coils. That's the heavy one. Leave the front alone as I'm almost positive the hubs are different sizes (you can easily check when you get your ichibas though).

well after doing them it was quite easy i disconnected my upper and lower control arms and tension rod in the rear. removed the carter pin and axle nut slid out the whole 4 lug assembly after pushing the axle out and slid and bolted up the whole z32 5 lug hub and ebrake assembly, rotor and boom the rear was done,
the front was a simple cap then carter pin, nut and boom ichiba 5 lug conversion with s13 OEM wheel bearings:) oh and the z32 brakes.

thanks for showing me a pic of what i needed to buy but i didn't want to spend 49$ on two pieces of metal so i looked at the design and made my own.
1 foot strip of 1/4 x 2 inch steel and 3 seconds on the drill press, 10 seconds on the grinder and 4 mins to bolt up went smooth as butter! now im gonna see what it takes to upgrade to 350z rotors:)
