you can use s14 rotors with s13 calipers.

If your using s14 hubs you need s14 spindles, if your using s14 spindles you need an s14 ball joint pressed into you Flca

If your buying conversion hub then you could even just redrill your current rotors and call it a day just sayin
Don't buy eBay hubs FYI

here's a parts list you'll need


Front hubs (conversion will be easier than s14 hubs)
Rear hubs (from s14 or z32 or just get new ones)
Front and rear rotors (either re-drill your existing rotors to 5 lug or get rotors that are already 5 lug)

+4 extra lug nuts

hope that helps

as long as you get the s13 conversion hubs

like so

how about the rear? why s14 or z32 and not conversion hubs?

you can also use the conversion hubs

Amazon.com: 1989-1998 Nissan 240SX ICHIBA 5-lug conversion hubs REAR: Automotive (http://www.amazon.com/1989-1998-Nissan-240SX-ICHIBA-conversion/dp/B003VKXWGA)

but the only reason why i say s14 or z32 rear hubs is because they are usually easy to come by used and cheap, around 80 to 120 for a pair
