Does this 5lug conversion work with my s13? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello everyone, so I have a s13 hatchback on TEIN FLEX coilovers made for the s13, I'm planning to do a 5lug, and will this set be compatible with the coilovers?

jesus christ! why would you pay that much that on ebay?
if you really wanna pay that much, why not just go to nissan and buy the parts directly from them?
or this:
Attain KS-740 Front 5 Lug Hub Conversion S13 (Pressed in 40mm studs)

Hot Damn That's pricey!!! Question is do you really need brand new knuckles and lca's??? You can cut the price in half by going ichiba 5 lug conversion bro... if your ball joints are worn you can just replace those.

people might/may argue about these but let ME tell ya they are fine there's a lot guys here in AZ that run them and never had any problems what so ever, matter of fact just helped my buddy install them on his coupe a few months back and he drives/drifts the shit out of his car.

Thanks for the recommendations guys, I do not actually plan on buying this set, but I do have connects to these exact items; I just need to know if it's compatible with the Tein flex coils that's all.

I kinda do want new parts rather than used parts, what you guys think?

corry29 · 01-29-2012, 01:30 PM

I guess my real question is, are these parts on the eBay link s14 parts which will require me to have s14 coils?

If the front knuckle is from an S14, then yes, you will need S14 bolts to go with S14 lower mounts (for the coils) or S14 front coilovers (since they bolt right up). S13 bolts are too small for S14 knuckles and S13 lower mounts are too small for S14 bolts.

So as an alternative (to new coilovers or lower mounts), you would need a bolt "sleeve" for the S13 bolt to fit the S14 knuckle.

S14 strut to knuckle bolts are 14mm diameter, S13 ones are 12mm. You can get 1mm sleeve from ebay (i bought mine there, 1mm thick 12mm ID tube, less than 3$ for 1ft) . Or you can redrill your strut and use S14 bolts.

If you use S14 front spindles, you NEED S14 lower ball joint too. Thus most people just use S14 front lower arms. Beware as they are 8mm longer each than S13 ones, so make sure your steering tie rods are adjustable AND long enough. Or buy another set. Or use S14 ones. Your choice.

Dont forget you need 5lugs brake discs too ...
