S13 5-lug Conversion w/ Skyline R33 Components

[Mikey]

Hey Guys-
I've got a 1989 240SX (S13) that I will be converting to 5-lug. I purchased the components off a R33 Skyline GT-S to do the swap. To my knowledge, I just need the knuckles, spindles, and hubs to do the conversion. I have the rotors and control arms off the R33 as well. Will this swap work? Do I need anything else? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Mike

don't think it's been tried (at least not here in North America)
take some pics of the components and maybe we could tell you?

[Mikey]

Pics will come soon. Does anyone know if I can use the knuckle, spindle, and hub off the R33 assembly for the 5-lug swap?

i was wondering the same and i was told that it would work. i was told that its the same as the 300zx's so.........

I've heard the R32 GTS has the same brakes as the Z32...and I've seen the R32 aluminum uprights on ebay before....they look identical to the Z32. The only issue you MAY run into is whether or not the R32 uses the R200V or R230V rear end+axles.

you will need the knuckles from the s14 5 stud version. Im pretty sure you cant use the r33 knuckles

It will work for the back not the front. Multilink skyline spindles and macpherson 240sx spindles arent even close.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to take one of the hub assemblies to my tech for him to take a look at. I'll let you know what the outcome is.
