5 lug question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

im doing a 5 lug conversion on my S13. i already have the hubs for the front, now i just need S14 ball joints? also would i be better off getting aftermarket contral arms in the front since it will be a track car?

I would just use the stock LCA for awhile. Use the $ to buy a real nice (and safe) seat, or rear hubs or somethin. The s14 LBJ would be a good idea

if ya need rear hubs pm me i have a extra pair.

Are they S14 hubs? Then yes. Are they conversion hubs? Then no. Welcome to 1995 BTW.

Pull old 4 lug hubs off... and put new 5 lug hubs on.

DONE.

If they are OEM Nissan off a S14, you need the Balls.

If they are made for the S13 and are bolt on, you need NOTHING.

Two people laid it out for you. ProjectRDM, I wouldnt EVER doubt him. Even JVD backed him.

ONLY IF YOUR USING OEM S14 PARTS WILL YOU NEED A S14 Ball. Other then that, pull the S13 hub off, and press the S5 in.

DONE.
