Yes thats the one.

UPDATE: When buying the ebay ones, buy some aftermarket studs such as ARP or Nismo. The ones that come with the hubs snap pretty easy.

I got some ARP Extended lugs since we are adding wheel spacers soon.

I am in the middle of doing one of these swaps and I'm running into an issue with the ABS ring. The toothed ring that comes off of the old hubs does not fit the new hubs, and the new hubs come with some weird flange-ring looking thing. I can only assume that this is some sort of ABS defeater, anyone else run into this?

Eventually I will do this, i'm guessing you do this because a 5 lug is stronger and have more wheel options? Can anyone explain the technical side to this?

quick question for the guys who done this already, i'm in the middle of the rear swap and i couldnt get the four nuts by the spindle off. So i just pushed the spindle out! I removed the rear shocks and the suspison linkage then i used some man juice and pushed it out! Did I f#$% something up or is this a common thing?

push out? u mean removed the entire spindle? which shouldnt be a problem and you really did not have to remove ur strut either unless you just wanted more room to work....just remove and replace the 4 with the 5 lug hub now and re-assemble. i had to remove some linkages too but again everything is straight forward...just take ur time and think things thru. gl

Can someone verify the torque of the 36 mm hub nut is 75-85, and the four nuts are 58-72 lbs torque? Thanks Lou!

Hey guys im having trouble getting the rear hub off, is there something I'm missing?

The four bolts are off, the 36 mm nut and c. pin is also. I pulled to plastic rings from the inside of the 4 lug off. I spent the last hour banging the shit out of the hub, any suggestions!

torque specs for the axle nuts are big-breaker-bar-and-jump-on-it.

torque specs for the four hub nuts are big-breaker-bar-and-tighten-it-as-best-you-can-in-such-an-awkward-space.

It seems like the ebay hubs are hit and miss... My rear hubs have about 2500 miles on them and already have play on both sides. My front left hub came drilled slightly off center so it feels like I have an out of balance wheel all the time. My front right one though, is perfect lol. So just FYI for everyone, buyer beware.

OEM. This can be a SAFETY issue.

^ both of my housemates (both with S13s) have used ebay hubs at one point or another, and they all went bad.

one hub (a front hub) developed play between the outer race of the bearing and the hub into which it was pressed! very very very very very bad. the bearing is bolted to the knuckle... but suddenly the hub/rotor/wheel are no longer firmly attached to the bearing! the only thing holding on the hub/rotor/wheel is the brake caliper (which is then getting loaded/twisted as the car enters a hard corner).

bottom line: ebay hubs can be very dangerous. either use oem s13/s14 hubs, or grind out a new snap-ring groove into a j30 hub and press in the correct s13/s14 bearing.
