z32 5 Lug swap? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

DarkRaptor42 · 05-16-2003, 10:59 AM

Hi fellas
I have access to a z32 for parts and since Im getting the brakes off of it already, I was wondering if you can use the parts off of it for the 5 lug swap also. This would be really cool instead of getting the rotors redrilled for my 4 lugs. If anyone knows of any info on this it be awesome.

My cars a 1990 s13. thanks

ACK research
but
for 5 lug

ONLY can use

NA (non turbo) Z32 REAR hubs

front hubs do not work
NO TwinTurbo (TT) parts (hub wise)
front spindles DO NOT work on 240sx

only rear hubs (na)
rear spindle (na)
brakes (ebrake cable modification is required)

you can also use rear Z32NA spindle (maybe tt works? dont know) but you need a z32 rear shock or lower part of shock on your coilover. ~8 lbs unsprung weight
eh.

well the rear works eh but not the front, that sucks big time

oh well

guess Im gonna need s14 hubs then

dousan36, does the year of the z32 matter...i've researched the swap for a while and i keep getting different answers for what parts are can be used for the swap.

If what your saying is correct, does that mean i have to have the front hubs from a 92 300z pressed into my 95 s14 spindles?

Dousan_PG · 07-09-2003, 09:45 PM

stay.....um...91 up for sure rears! remember ONLY NA (non-turbo) z32!! very important!

no you cant use fronts at all.

if you need to get the rear hubs off the z32 uprights; remove the e-brake assembly first(the fat nut above the 4 smaller one). i spent about 20min trying to remove the hubs!!!!

good luck..

the tt z32 rear spindles will work on a s13.

ghostchild316 · 07-10-2003, 01:16 PM

Everyone talks about the front calipers/sizes whatever.

What about the rear?did all z32s have the same size calipers/rotor?

ultraprince · 07-10-2003, 01:40 PM

the rear is a little more tricky then the front. the rear you have to modify the e brake to make it work. I will do it when the bugs are all worked out of the projectsilvia e brake kit. but for now the front with stock rears work wonderfully.

FoCaL · 07-11-2003, 09:22 AM

Any year Z32 will work, they are all have the same brakes and hubs. The Z32TT has different spindles than the NA but it still should work, just and extra mount for HICAS.

Regards
