you might aswell do a brake upgrade with s14/15 parts while you are there instead of just putting those hubs on. go to nissansilvia.com they used to have a write up/different part options(skyline, z32, etc.) with the benefits and disadvantages of them all

iv got a guy striping out hiz r32 whats a list i should give him for what i want........boooooooooooost rules bowrofl.gif
TRY TOO
This is what i followed when i did the 5 stud on my old 180!

ASSEMBLED REARS - this will bolt into all your existing control arms
s13 uprights -keep yours
s14/15, r32, r33 hubs - buy these
s13 baffle plates - keep yours
s13 rotors - keep yours
s13 calipers - keep yours
s13 cables - keep yours
s13 hoses - keep yours

^^ What you may find easiest is just to buy a complete s14/15 rear assembly, and JUST swap uprights, and then it's ready to bolt back in... You can do it in 2 hours generously with the right tools

ASSEMBLED FRONTS
s14/15 uprights - buy these
s14/15 hubs - buy these
s14 baffle plates - buy these
s13 rotors - keep yours
s13 rotors - keep yours
s13 calipers - keep yours
s13 hoses - keep yours
s14 control arms - buy these
custom machined sleeves to fit s13 struts onto s14 uprights - buy these

^^ S14/15 uprights, hubs and baffle plate come in a single unit

OR, get in contact with WhiteR32 and buy a set of his s13 5stud front hubs that use s13 wheel bearings and fit straight on, no hassle.

get his rotors, hubs,calipers and make sure you get the baffle plates off the rear for the handbrake....thats what i did with mine but i bought a brand new set of hubs from justjap.com as someone mentioned above, it all fits straight on, you might have some trouble with the handbrake line though, it might come up a bit short. i'm running r32 gtr brakes front and rear and when doing the handbrake, the lines came up short so i had to custom make a bracket. you can buy them brackets from eastcoast customs though i heard

goodluck with it!

Only problem with the JustJap hubs (unless the hubs have now changed), is that they run screw-in wheel studs. Not so much a problem if you remember to loctite them, but if you snap one or more in the future, it isn't a simple process to get hold of replacements, as you will need to go through JustJap. No-one else supplies screw-in wheel studs.

Which is why I used WhiteR32's hubs, they are made of high grade materials and are very high quality. Standard press-in studs are used in them, hell if you are being cheap you can knock your old ones out and you only have to buy 2 wheel studs...
WHITE R32
no one makes screw in wheel studs because its to me its absolutly fucking STUPID dangerous and probably not anything close to adr standards also

also how do you ever get longer wheel studs if no one makes them?? and what about the bearings?? no doubt they dont take factory bearings so where would you replace those?? shit house chyna design not to mention i know a few people who have BENT those hubs some are actually on this forum

also i am not saying any of this because i make better hubs to sell them to you.... frankly i dont give a shit about that smile.gif
