So I got a whole rear knuckle and hub assembly with E-brake off a R33 GTST for free to throw on a s13. But every time I've searched I get confused with people throwing in s14 conversion, splines not matching, 5 lug conversion but nothings ever consistent.


Can someone just give me a straight answer if I pull the hub and brake assembly off the 33 knuckle will it bolt straight to the s13 knuckle and is there a problem with the splines?

The Skyline parking brake assembly will bolt up to the S13 knuckle. Just have a Dremel with a sanding drum ready because the mounting hole for the anchor block will be rusted and needs to be cleaned up.

You don't necessarily need the Skyline hub. Do you want it for the 5 lug conversion?

The matching hub does have a provision to prevent the anchor block from rotating, but I used the S13 hub and have never had a problem in the 5 years since I've done the conversion.

Depending on the anchor block the Skyline uses, you may need to space it out from the S13 hub. I cut the mounting tab off my Z32 hub and used that. I've read that an axle washer works too.

I'm not sure whether the GTS-T hub splines match the S13 axle. Hopefully someone else has the answer. The best install would be to use both the Skyline brake assembly and hub.

Thanks for the reply man, yea I was hoping I could get lucky and just use the whole 5-lug assembly as a whole.

Anyone got anymore info on the splines? Thanks for any help guys.
