I wanna just take the front and rear axles off a 300 and replace my hubs with the hubs from the zx.... I have 4 bolts (impossible to find mags for... well almost) and I wanna change them... plus I can get the whole caliper assembly at the same time.... is this possilbe, I know that on cars like the corrado you can just pop the hub and replace it with almost any vw from and audi to a porche... could I be so lucky?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

You NEED S14 front spindles for the front.

You could use the rear hub off a n/a Z32 on the rear of the S14 or S13.

hope that helps

K... I have a 97 base I guess... so I need a jspec front pins, or just 240 le or se pins? and the turbo rear won't fit? Don't care, either way, but you know....

Kid Zelda · 01-17-2002, 03:07 PM

you need S14 SE spindles, the 5 lug ones. ok

And no, the Yurbo Z32 rear hubs are not going to fit.

use the N/A ones.

No need for Jspec front spindles, the USDM are the same.

hey, the kid survived abortion, you seem to know alot about these swaps, have you done it?

and is it hard to remove and put on a new spindle? would the n/a 300zx spindle fit right in?

and i've been wanting to do this swap for a while now, what exactly is a spindle (sorry, i know didly squad 'bout mechanc), is the thing that comes outta the differential to the wheel a spindal?  after that's done, you will also need 300zx rotor right?  what about the 300zx calipers? they look much beefier then the puny s13 ones...

how lond u'd suppose it takes?

Hey this is Brian from Okinawa Import Motorsports LLC in Indy.  I thought I would intoduce myself!  For the 4 to 5 lug conversion package.  We sell the complete package.  For the S13; Rear: Z32 hubs w/ Z32 Brembo slotted rotors Z32 rear calipers. Front: S14 spindles and the 5 lug Se hubs w/ the Z32 calipers, and the Goodridge Steel-braided line kit.  Brake pads you choose!!  We also highly suggest replacing the master-cylinder w/ the Z32 type and a brace kit.  For more info you can email me at [email protected]

Ok. Here is another question... is my car 4*100 or 4*114 or something like that....

Kid Zelda · 01-19-2002, 12:43 PM

4x 114.3

If you have the 4-lug S13, why can't you just swap out the parts from a 5-lug s13?
