i have the entire rear setup with 5lug/ebrake if you want it. ichiba makes the front 5 lug setup or you could get the s14 front 5 lug conversion.

yeah exactly what he said, but yeah you're at an advantage over us S13 guys. i say stay oem, and get the full conversion from an S14 5-lug.

For my S13 I used Z32 rear hubs, and it wasn't too bad. Just pop out the driveshaft, unbolt the old hub, and pry the old hub off. Pop the Z32 hub in, and assemble in reverse order. It's not too bad - all the difficulty comes in shit being stuck together.

For the fronts I used Ichiba hubs. Took probably 20 minutes each side. Easier than pong.

s14 front you can get from dealer its about 200 something pretty cheap..
advantage because u have s14 spindles.

rears u can get z32 NA, s14, j30.
JUST HUNT DOWN THE REAR. fronts u can get brand new.


s14 se rotors work with s13 calipers
same brakes i believe.

TOOK ME FOREVER to do my rears..i even have pictures of doing the whole thing..i just never did a "write up"

you need a hammer... a few friends..
lol.. but the fronts..if you cant finish the whole front..brakes and all in 45 mins..dont get near a car..lol
you impact that hub bolt and that hub just flys off..but the rear is hard.
go to nissan.. its like 205 for the oem fronts..i dont know about the rears.

was wondering if i can ask a question in this thread since it does say lug conversion please.......

i have tried to search and never had a clear answer for because most people that i have found go with Z32 calipers when doing an S13 5lug conversion...

can i use front and rear S14 SE rotors with the stock S13 brakes?

info would be greatly appreciated.

ps. i dont want to get the 4 lug rotors redrilled

.

J30 rear hubs work? If thats true, then I could've done my conversion long before I did mine instead of waiting to finally getting z32 rears.

So Ichiba front hubs will work on a S14? I'm still a little confused. Some say no these guys say yes unless I'm reading it wrong :confused:
