Using S15 parts on S13 for 5 Lug Conversion + Brakes - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok, so I came across a deal on S15 suspension and brakes.
Actually, not really the suspension, but I am just interested in the 5 lug conversion parts.
I don't really know exactly what I need from the S15. And I hope that this post will be very useful to others.

So here goes, there's an S15, and I have an S13 with 4 lug stock brakes.

I'm thinking it'll be just like parts from an S14..
Buy the spindle, LCA, HUB, caliper, brake lines, 5 lug rotor for the front.

In the rear, I reaaaallly don't know what I need.
Could I just take the hub, brake, rotor, and brake line?
Will I have trouble with making the e-brake work?

I'm thinking I should just buy some conversion brake lines as well, searched and found out a lot about how old banjo fittings suck. And read that the S15 calipers use banjo fittings.

Recommendations, suggestions, information to share, anything would help!
Feel free to AIM me as well: threekimchees is my screen name. Quick! Need to get everything sure before Monday! Thanks in advance.

S15 suspension/brakes is identical to S14. Everything you'll need is the same for either car.

The rear will require the hub and rotor, caliper is the same but you might as well use it if it's lower mileage.

Fuck yeah! Ok, if anyone has any more information or can backup R240NA, I'd gladly appreicaite it.
I noticed the rotor on the S15 is pretty huge in the front, thick I mean.

S15 front brakes are same as S14 E/JDM, which is the same as the 93+ Z32 TT.

Can I use the origional brake lines from the S15?
