S13 -> 300zx 5 lug spindles Questions - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello, I've tried searching for answers, but all I got was base S14's converted to 5 lug, not no S13's. Anyways, I have a 93 240sx SE coupe, and wanted to convert them to 5 lug w/ Z32 calipers, so I bought a pair of 300zx N/A front spindles which came w/ hubs. I already have 4 S14 SE rims. My quesion is what else do I need to make the front spindles fit my S13? Do I need the front control arms, if I do, will the 300zx arms work? Or do I need S14 arms? Same goes with the ball joints? And are S13 rear spindles the same size as the rear S14 SE kinds? Or are S14 brakes bigger? Because I want the rear to be 5 lug also. If the spindles are the same size, then all I need is the hub? Right?

you obviously didn't do your research.
z32 front spindles are useless for 240sx owners.

Damn, that hurts. So what do I do, and what do I need?
