can i do this to my hubs?

[screaming6]

i am SOOOO confused with my 5 lug conversion. on S14
Fronts are DONE. no prob stock rotors and calipers.

Now REARS heres what i have:

1.My OEM 4 lug stuff

2. Z32TT rear hubs(i knew these wouldnt work but the person who sold them to me(on this forum) told me they were NA so i got jipped)

3. J30 rear knuckles and hubs with rotors and calipers.

4.New s14 5 lug rear rotors.

Before any1 says just upgrade brakes now i will but i wanna do the Z32's all around i dont have the money yet. Z32s are better than J30 so thats why i dont see the point in putting the J30 setup if ill be changing it.

1.can this be done????removing the 4 lug bearing and install it on the 5 lug Z32TT hub i say this because the Z32TT use slightly larger axels and i can use my stock brakes and not worry about modifying the ebrake.

2.Second option less favorable for me.....Install J30 knuckle w/hub and brakes but I am aware that i need to modify ebrake cables for the j30 brakes and hubs.I know i know search.. i just want to know if its the same.
I NEED my ebrake and am not the best when it comes to mechanical stuff.

as far as i know there is no way of keeping stock brakes with J30 5 lug.

Please please please ive literally been trying to do this for over a year...if you have any advice help..im getting really stressed.

sorry for being so long Thanks ahead of time for those who help you will be my hereos for a year (ill put your names in my sig or something)

Welcome to Earth, we've been here for years.



To the OP, you can use the J30 rear parts and keep your OE brakes *if* you remove the ebrake drum. Common sense would have told you that since the smaller hub rotor won't fit over it.

The Z32 TT hub is larger as well as the bearing, how do you think the larger diameter axle fits if it's the same size? Read this below, as people like you apparently cannot read.

NOTHING FROM THE REAR OF A Z32 TT WILL WORK, PERIOD.

Your options, J30, Z32 NA, R32/R33/R34, or S14/S15 5lug. Same as it's always been.

apparently hooked on phonics did not work for someone else...cough.

i said that i knew i needed NA hubs i was told that they were NA i was lied to.

anyways the first idea sounds good so to clarify...there is no way i can press a OEM 4 lug bearing into the Z32TT hub? with this answer things will get clearer

[kevtrinh]

If the hub (z32tt) is larger like r240na said, you cannot fit a smaller bearing(oem 4 lug) into it. Cut your losses.

You asked:

"can this be done????removing the 4 lug bearing and install it on the 5 lug Z32TT hub i say this because the Z32TT use slightly larger axels and i can use my stock brakes and not worry about modifying the ebrake."

How is my answer not enough for you? And how can you say that you knew you needed NA hubs but then still ask if TT will hubs work? Put the glue down kid, you've huffed too much already.

[drifting_changed_mylife]

now look what u started lol

[screaming6]

feel sorry for you guys arent we the ones that give thumbs up to other car guys. thanks for your help anyways...honestly

and 33 with 6,363 posts there is a world besides that screen in front of you. but honestly thanks for your help you did clarify.

[ThatGuy]

He has over 6,000 posts because he's been here for 5 years answering the same questions over and over again. It get's pretty damn annoying. Especially when the questions get answered and yet people continue to question the responses.

R240NA knows a Cubic Fuck-Ton about S-Chassis.

You can be mad and butt hurt all you want. It doesn't change the fact that he's right, and your question was already answered.

Have a nice day.

[screaming6]

yes... exactly thats why i said thank you...

but unless he is MR NISSAN himself or actually designed the car i think any1 has the right to question an answer even if it is right..
ive been told by others that what i implied could be done therefore i questioned and finally with the help of this thread was clarified.Now if your not allowed to ? answers then i wouldnt have ever gotten the correct info.
Again thank you!

Have a very nice day.

[xcusememisswyn]

you would have got the correct answer when you tried to put them on and wondered why the fuck they wouldn't fit...


R240NA knows all

[xblack240x]

R240NA's first post answered your question, now STFU, stop b**ching, and have a nice day...

Don't question R240NA unless you KNOW, I mean really know that what he said is incorrect...

gravy..
ANY j30 parts work?
last time i went to see one @ the yard, i saw one with a rack on the end of it as well.
had tie rods and all that shit on it.

also, one J30, 1997 model, had no rear diff at all, it was a straight bar/tube whatever the hell, axle? solid axle?

if you can answer that question.. i'd probably go pull the thing @ the yard.

Some J30s had HICAS, in that case the rear upright is fitted with a balljoint instead of a toe arm bushing so it's useless.

If you saw a solid axle under one, it wasn't a J30. Possibly an I30 or something else closely related. All J30s were RWD with fully independant suspension.

So in your World, even though we all know S14 seats bolt right into an S13, unless someone you know specifically has done it before your eyes, documented it, and gotten written permission to acknowledge it from someone above him in the food chain, you can still question it?

And this, children, is why forums become cesspools. Having a definitive answer before you and still questioning it, even arguing it because "some guy I heard telling a friend said so" is truly the most pathetic thing imaginable. I may be an asshole, but I don't blatantly give out completely false and unfounded information for the fuck of it.

[breakindrifts]

Yeah R240NA is pretty much MR. Nissan, or at least mr. 240sx.

You do not question Russ. He is ALWAYS right when it comes to S-Chassis.

[AbsoluteZero]

Even though I haven't been on here long I know R240NA knows a lot since I have done searches for certain things and his name is always there with the answer

[screaming6]

alright to try and end this once more thank you i now understand...now i know you are the almighty guru....i understand

but im sure you werent spitting out tech info and writeups as soon as they cut the umbilical cord so you as any1 else learns from reading and asking. As did I.

You my friend were right on this occasion again thank you. Obviously the person who told me it would work was not.

Have a wonderful day!!

[pr0ject TRUENO]

Have you figured this out yet? Because he answered your post like 10 posts above and his answer is correct.

To the OP, you can use the J30 rear parts and keep your OE brakes *if* you remove the ebrake drum. Common sense would have told you that since the smaller hub rotor won't fit over it.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Well dont know if anybody actually explain WHY it wouldnt work. TT hubs wont work because the splines are bigger and the stock axle is too small. Unless you can somehow modify the axle to have TT splines, then you can use the TT hubs. I know so cuz my roomate got jipped in the same situation as you. He was told they were off a TT and they werent.

Hell, if i make custom axles, i bet there will be some kind of a market out there for custom S-chassis/TT Z32 axle.

[screaming6]

yes i did figure this out...

As of today this swap is already done i have 5 lug all around.using J30 stuff

thanks fliprayzin240sx....makes sense clear cut answer question tho
are TT axels longer than s chassis ones or just thicker.
