Rwd Stagea 5 Stud On To Ceffy?

[1400r]

boss wants Huddy and I to five stud works skid ceffy

using 5 stud gear off a stagea front and rear cross member we have a work

just read that you can't use r33 stuff to five stud a s13

seeing as there around the same era thought I'd ask here before we get stuck into it

stagea setup we have seems to have the same brake setup as the ceffy has atm

I'd much prefer just to stick the motor in (T04r mmmmmmmmmmmmm) but he wants five stud

so Ive gotta be a good little worker lol

If u want a hand doing work i can help out on wednesday or thursday if you need it.

[1400r]

nah after hours mate

[32 4whore]

Your point being?

OHHHHHHH I see. No love

[Hella Flush]

im keen to help

done it 3 times over on 2 cefs

whats he got lined up for the front?

i would recommend using (as we have discussed 1000 times in the past) r32/z32 rear hubs... slides straight into the stub axles on the cef and retains the drum setup (wally has em for 50 bucks each... or im sure being kansai automotive you surely have a pair (i have 1 z32 and 1 r32 one so theyre identical))

and then use r32/r33 rotors and whatever calipers you want aslong (32 type m/r33 gtst... same shit twin pot rears which will bolt to factory mounting points on cef stub axles)

all youll need to do is cut or remove the brake dust cover

for the fronts... thats another story

i have thurs/friday/saturday/sunday off so...

[huddy]

hmm interesting - what about that GTR rear cradle bits aswell?

or telly want all the stagea stuff used...

adz - got stagea front and rear...

[Hella Flush]

gtr is fine... too much shit with this whole 5 stud conversion thing is interchangeable

its nissan

to be honest i havent played with stagea... if it runs same balljoints as s14 you can use it by getting r33 balljoints pressed into the lower control arms and stub axles (now dont go asking why cant i use r33 then if i need r33 balljoints... think about double wishbone strut mounting points compared to normal suspension in silvia/cefiro)

you can use r32 front hubs also into the factory cefiro stub axles im 99.9% sure which makes it easy like the rear

go find 4 r32 hubs... slot em into your stub axles and get some 5 stud rotors n brakes (im assuming terry will go r33 gtst all round) and whack it on... bobs your uncle easy 5 stud

btw ryan i finally have driven my car with the 5 stud i got off you guys... front wheel bearings are shot... hope terry can give me a hand!

"btw ryan i finally have driven my car with the 5 stud i got off you guys... front wheel bearings are shot... hope terry can give me a hand!"

your joking right

you mean you didnt put new wheel bearings in when you swapped them over...?

cheap fix would be to put your old ceffy wheel bearings in assuming they'd fit

that help

[Hella Flush]

dont think theyd fit s14 hubs?

nissan want 310 a bearing

cbc bearings want 305.60 a bearing!

ive got wed/thurs/fri off so ill come past n show you my BEARINGS and the vibrations which they are emitting throughout my car which is kinda turning me on...

and once again the 5 stud discussion lol

[meanman]

Well sounds like most of you guys are mechanics or have access to workshops with a press so you can mess with the S14/R33 ball joints.

But for the non technically minded (me) and the people that dont have access to a workshop (me) Try these little puppies for $550 from Just Jap, including front wheel bearings.

Just dont do what I did and buy R34 Calipers as they use bigger bolts. (I made them fit though ) More info on that here. (only if your bored)

HAHAHAHAHA justjap hubs... yeah we'll pass on cheap china shit *looks at ryan*

[huddy]

u actually used their stuff adz? sounds like they got good bearings and you got noisy bearings

[Hella Flush]

hmm... is that to say kansai sell noisey stuff and just jap sell quiet stuff?

sprung huddy!

[1400r]

baaah not sure it is even wheel bearings

like I said today $14 pedders sus safety check and you'll know for sure what the problem is and then go from there

[huddy]

if you're gonna complain about shit - maybe try not to get EVERYTHING for less than terry's cost price

[Hella Flush]

well im not sponsored so i dont automatically get that - must haggle

sall good... markys wisdom confirms wheelbearings - he told me all the symptoms without driving the car and me telling him what is wrong... so yes its bearings

and a mate owes me alot of money - he cant pay up... so i collected some parts - including s14 front hubs with good condition wheelbearings

so that fixes that this weekend

[huddy]

see you dont realise that things are priced at that price for a reason - its not a garage sale... its a business - i suppose thats why you want 400 for those over fenders when you could more than likely source some for $200 set brand new...

so... if thats that sorted - you doin skids on saturday in your drift car?

[Hella Flush]

i do realise this - but you cant haggle with businesses? some of us know what stuff actually is worth... thus we haggle

not saying kansai is expensive at all - just e-war with huddy

no my fully sick drift car is receiving maintainence over this week... need to adjust preload and height on coilovers, install kazama castor rods, exhaust is getting fixed on saturday, need to change front hubs due to screwed wheelbearings and fix some random kreeks and clunks

oh and if i can be f**ked swap my rear calipers over so theyre on the right sides

300+ a bearing? I find that very hard to believe? you sure they are quoting for a complete hub? I think I got 4 bearings for my silvia for about 60 bucks each? Had to press them into the hubs myself though.

[Hella Flush]

yeah i actually went into nissan

and theyre like oh whoops we meant full hub assembly with wheelstuds etc... and they wont seperate the bearing from the kit

all good though mate owes me money so as part of the money oweing im getting his good condish s14 hubs
