5 lug Conversion Spindle Bolt Sleeves (PICS+SPECS) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

PSI240SX · 04-15-2004, 05:19 AM

If you are doing a 5 lug conversion on an S13 and you have nice coilovers on your car and like me do not feel like taking a drill to them to enlarge the holes to accomodate the larger diameter S14 bolts, here's what you do. Call a general machine shop in your area and tell them that you need steel sleeves made. They need to be 30mm long, have an I.D. of 11.91mm or .4685, and have an O.D. of 13.85mm or .5445 Thank You ALEX CHANG!
You will need 4 of them and you can put them into your S14 spindles. This will decrease the size of the hole to accomodate the smaller diameter S13 bolts. I bought the S13 bolts and nuts from Nissan for $13.00 and I had the sleeves made for $35
Here are pics of mine:

whoa. thats good info. this should be faqed. in the pic, the sleeves look really short. i guess it does its job and covers the entire strut/coilover hole to hole width

Umm.. PDM isn't a machine shop, although he does often offer a lot of custom parts. That is one of those things that he would likely consider getting made, and supply on his site.

Wow those are pretty damn nice!!! Where'd you get them from?

ryan hagen · 04-16-2004, 11:51 AM

PSI240sx..what were you running before the D2's and how do they compare?

PSI240SX · 04-16-2004, 08:40 PM

iEATRice- If you are refferring to the coilovers, they are D2 and I got them on NICO in a group buy.
westboroughpimp- I had KYB AGX's and RSR springs. The difference is amazing. I am so happy I got them.

Sorry for digging this dead thread up again, but I was wondering if anyone had a link to a site selling s13 bolt sleeves for a s14 spindle. I know I stumbled across a site of a small operation selling these things a few weeks ago for $25, i believe.
I havent called around to any of the local machine shops that I usually utilize, but I figure that they will charge more than $25.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Irukandji · 02-16-2006, 11:13 PM

why don't you just pay $25 shipped instead of asking a machine shop to make a one off piece that they'd charge you $25+ for?
