ARE you going to keep it four syud as well or go to 5 stud?

just for shits and giggles if you were wanting to upgrade your brakes but keep the 4 stud standard set up, whats the best way to go about it?

the best way to go about it would be to work some more hours, quit being a tight arse and get a 5 stud set up.....

Just Jap 5 stud hubs $550

RDA Slotted R33 discs = cheap

Bendix Ultimate pads = cheap

R33 Calipers = cheap

i don't know the RRP prices for the stuff with a 'cheap' price tag as i got all four corners for approx $600 for all rotors, calipers & pads, but that was mate's rates

There's no need to upgrade to 5 stud unless you have difficulty finding the wheels you want in 4 stud.

The R32/S14 calipers bolt straight on, you have 3 options for discs.

1 - redrill the disc (9 holes) so it's 4/5 stud multifit

2 - buy blank faced R32 rotors from RDA, and have them drilled in 4 stud

3 - buy R33 non turbo rotors (same size but factory 4 stud)

If you upgrade to R33 calipers, buy blank faced R33 rotors and have them drilled in 4 stud.

i would NOT buy these just jap hubs! they are pretty shitty quality and made of a "soft" alloy!

do it properly using nissan gear and you cant go wrong

ha i work enough hours as it is not being a tight arse, if i wanted 5 stud i would of said so, there was no need to bar up at a simple question. i have the wheels i want in 4 stud..

AND ive seen too many of the JJR 5 stud conversion hubs split in half due to complete dodginess of manufacture...

cheers for the help Daisu.
