Rear 5lug hub - Y only from N/A Z32?

[Matt_240]

so I have a chance to pick up a set of rear 5 lug hubs off a z32 for $80. the problem is, its turbo. so what makes the N/A z32 hubs fit and not the turbo one? is there a way to modify it to fit? any help would be appreciated. except the usual search button link. thanks

[TheTicTac]

IIRC the rear output shaft of the turbo, has a larger diameter. The N/A output is closer to the 240sx output shaft, that is why they fit better.

[Matt_240]

so not worth the effort to make it fit?

How much did you pay for all of this? 1st let me say I know skylines are not high volume items in the us as far as junk yards go but they are here and if you did not know the GTS-t skylines are 5 lug and the whole rear assy. will bolt right up to the S-13, 14. You have to have the Brake cables for the E-brake Since it is drum from the 4 door and the Spindle with all attached parts. I can get this for a good price if anyone is intrested. I can help one or two people at a time so don't beat me up with PM's and e-mail's. So with that being said PM me for a price.

you can get s14 and z32 NA rear hubs on cap-part.com for dirt. I bought 2 for around $80 shipped to me. One ended up having a bad bearing, so they sent me another one, and included the Alum. upright and ebrake equipment. Pretty sweet!

that sounds good but i live in hawaii dude. shipping is goin to be a bizzle. my friend works at nissan so he can get me some new for $80 each. if im gonna ship from the mainland, id rather get new ones. thanks for the info though.

Make sure those new hubs come with bearings pre-pressed in.

[jy116]

man... i didnt get WTH you guys were talking about. Now I found out the hard way!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/jy116/DSC01116.jpg

I only have one... so if I want to use it, i have to find the other side upright, THEN use a TT halfshaft and get a 5 bolt VLSD. The halfshafts on the z32 were 6 bolt [6 flanges, not 3 like s13s]... not sure if it was VLSD. Anyone know if 5 bolt or 6 bolt [+3flange] halfshafts exist on the z32 TT?

[jy116]

the upright on the left is from the z32 TT... if you look hard enough, you can see its got a larger diameter axle shaft[?].

[projectRDM]

TT hubs are considerably larger diameter to fit the larger axle, no way it will work. The Z32 axles are too long, so they can't be made to work either, especially since you'll need to use the Z32 output shaft to get the correct 5bolt pattern.

New 5lug hubs from the dealer do not include bearings, you'll need to press your old bearing out, and if it's still in good shape, press in into the new hub.

[jy116]

i think some s13 diffs came with 5 bolt output flanges... but the longer half shaft would still not work... unless i got a s15 subframe [wider rear track]?!... gues I can sell this TT upright to some Z folks... or some one with a press and dealer parts hookup... thanks for the info and suggested options

umm my q? is how do i know if i have the right rear hubs. i bought the z32 NA hubs, i think. they both look different. i figured they would both look the same but one is slightly different. it was a flat extra flange. im not sure. can someone help me out?

if i can be assured that these are the right ones, i can get started on swapping my rear hubs to throw on my new s14 rear rotors and my z32 wheels. tia

IIRC that's part of the e-brake assembly.

Looks like on S14 SE rear hub, and one Z32 rear hub.

Maybe the junkyard provided those parts based on the interchange....?

[projectRDM]

Correct. Either one will bolt up fine.

[mav1178]

I love how no one answered the question....

The hub does not fit because the twin turbo uses a larger rear axle, and the splines on the axle that go into the hub are NOT the same as the ones found on the nonturbo rear axle, which are identical to what a 240SX runs.

hence the need to run Z32 nonturbo rear hubs.

Huh? First reply:

...the rear output shaft of the turbo, has a larger diameter


I'll admit it's not worded very clear...but it's an answer, and the correct answer.

- Brian

[mav1178]

It was never an issue about the output shaft, it was the axle.

There is a big difference between the two...

im in the same boat as you, i have so called z32 na rear hubs but im not sure i compared them to S14 se ones too and mine had the extra big hole. Did you see if the two holes on the side is the same length as the s14 ones? i too am not gonna waste a considerable amount of time to find out that they wont fit...

[mav1178]

do yourself this favor:

try to find someone with s13 axles and see if you can insert those into the hubs. Saves a lot of time.

That large hole in the picture comes on any Z32 rear hub.

Note the large hole:

instead. i will just swap them. i know that the z32 na rear will fit and i know the s14se rears will as well, i was just unsure as to wether that was a z32 na rear, but i figured out how to tell the difference reading this thread
thanx

[projectRDM]

Hey Alex, next time you want to break someone off for not reading, don't be a hypocrite. From my post way above yours:

"TT hubs are considerably larger diameter to fit the larger axle"

Hmm, wonder what larger means in that context.

[mav1178]

Sorry that was my mistake, overlooked your post.

*Z32 NA rear hubs work because they use the same amount of axle splines as the S13.

*Z32 TT rear hubs don't work becasue this axles splines are incorrect and larger than the S13.

*S13 rear hub nut is 36mm

*Z32 NA rear hub nut is 36mm

*1990 Q45 rear hub nut is 36mm (I do not know if the spline is correct in count and size) but i will find this out tommorrow.

***Does anyone know the hub nut size of the Z32 TT??? If it is different this could also be an indicator.

[CHARLIE2020]

IIRC the rear output shaft of the turbo, has a larger diameter. The N/A output is closer to the 240sx output shaft, that is why they fit better.

Lets clear this up a lil more so new people like myself dont get confused.......when it comes to axles it either fits 100% or not at all........not better or closer.

Lets just say Z32 TT rear 5 lug hubs are incorrect because the axle shaft that goes into the hub is larger than the S13 axle shafts.

Thank you for revivng a thread from August of last year, just to give us information that can already be found on Zilvia, if you search.
