Just use your HICAS rear knuckle the 5-lug hub bolts to it and "poof" 5-lug and HICAS you lucky bastard!!...lol And, this link rocks by the way... The Definitive 300ZX Brake Swap Paqe

here is a link for the hubs (no s14 spindle/FLCA and ball joint swap required for these) You can get them cheaper on ebay.

I personally think super hicas turns a s13 into even more of a death trap. Something I'd gladly get rid of.

For a daily though I dont see where its a terrible option. And I'd bet Nissan even marketed those options as perforamce options originally. With your experience on the matter I would cetrainly defer to you. I wouldnt know about either...my ride is a base and has none of that.*

His original question about the 5-lug relates more to any needed mods for the HICAS or ABS. In that case he can get away with upgrading to the 5 lug and keeping the comfort items that help him get into the tight parking spot a little easier and panic stop 2ft shorter (maybe). And still have all the workable options of a rather rare s-car.*

That and he has the option of a 2nd 240sx that would be more in-tune with performance related driving.

why would you say the hicus turns it into a death trap?*
just curious...*

I'd say that for a comfy, daily, why not have hicus and abs? *its just like anything else, on any other car, new, old, fast, slow, every option is awesome while it is working...

And just a side note while you're all pissing on HICAS... Jason Rhodes SCCA class-winning 240sx that destroyed everyone... that had functional HICAS and ABS.
