i knwo ebay parts are gay but do yall know any reputable places i can get thses, maybe in metal? im picking up a 240 hatch soon and am prolly gonna have to replace the fenders and work the rear 1/4s anyways, what yall think?

what is the best way to make my s13 have 5 lugnuts also? i woudl like to put some fat sticky wheels/tires on tehre, which theres not a lot of options for 4 lug as far as correct backspacing/lug patters,

will a infiniti j30 5 lug hubs/spindles work if i swap the raer diff/w lsd and rear output shafts outta the j30 as wella s the brake calipers and and stuff? i ask this b/ci have access to one at a junkyard that is still untouched pretty much.

will a n/a 300zx suspension work also, i have access to that also, the j30 would be cheaper which is why i ask, and the wheels are still with it unlike the z.

those are my n00b questions, hope to be posting more often, sold my built motor for my civic b/c i foudna buyer, now im getting into the wonderful world of rwd, the way it should be

For the fenders go to
JSPEC.com

For 5 lug conv, do it right, get GTO, (on jspec)

And for suspention, you cant use z32 suspention, just go with some nice suspention

Check out SPLparts.com. Also just save for a Clutch type LSD

jspec.com is an awesome place, but theyre prices are pretty high. im sure they can get you pretty much anything you need, but still....prices.

what is a gto? as far as all taht stuff on jspec i doubt anything i will buy for this project will be new. the lsd out of the j30 will be my 1st mod and if it fits the hubs/rotors off it the next mod so i can get some wider wheels, waiting ona good deal on some suspension be it shocks/springs or tein coilovers.

You get what you pay for. Cheap price=Cheap parts. That and the reliability of a company and their reputation. Yes, expensive, but you have to pay to play. You want a good product, in good shape that will last. Cheap parts break and you end up spending the money that you would have paid for the quality parts in the long run after 2 cheap parts. (did that make sense??? haha) but anyhow, best bet is to shop around. Reasearch for what will fit YOUR needs best.


here are some other sites not previously mentioned for you to look at:

www.jspec.com (already posted and a REPUTABLE dealer)
www.phase2motortrend.com (great guys, like Jspec, VERY reputable parts dealer)
www.speedalliance.com (been around for about 2 years, but another Reputable shop like jspec and phase2)
www.takamotorsports.com (another reputable dealer, very helpfull)

But, when you call these guys, they are going to want to know WHAT parts you want(brand, model, chasis it is going on ect..). They can reffer you to products, but it is best that you know what you want. Good luck finding what your looking for. These are very resoursefull and helpfull guys. I am sure they will help you find what you need.
