Hi,

I have a question.
I have a S13 ca18det, i don't want to make a 5 lug conversion.
Can i use the brake set of skyline's, just redrill the disk and use the caliper??

Thx
Ethan

bardabe · 01-20-2007, 11:37 PM

sure can, just get the rotors redrilled to 4 lug and it should bolt right on with some conversion lines. (SPL parts carries them)

thx guys!!
Are there any link to an installation guide or workaround.

u dont "need" lines,.. the factroy lines should screw right in, but your better off getting the lines.
as for pads, they use the same 300zx pads.

I'm not going to be mean since you are from outside the US

but there is a wealth of information on brake upgrades if you utilize the search feature of this message board

search for things like

gtr brakes
r33 brakes
r34 brakes
300zx brakes
q45 brakes
sti brakes
big brake

etc

and you should be able to get a good idea of your options

Yes you DO need conversion lines. z32/r32/r33 brakes have a male flare fitting that screws into the caliper. 2-chassis cars have a banjo bolt on the stock brakes. Most people just upgrade to stainless lines when they do the conversion.
