You could fit some from a 200sx S13, the pcd and everything is the same as i use s13 steelies for drifting.

If your struggling, try www.rarerims.co.uk

They have loads of 4 stud wheels and you can upload a pic of your car and add pics of the wheels on to see what they look like in their virtual garage.

If you want to do the 5 stud conversion you'll need the hubs, calipers and disc n pads off a GTST.

Not sure on price wise as i'm in UK so prices differ from you guys.

Tim, the 200SX is called the S15 in Australia. (just to clear up any confusion).

Ross, all the hub conversion details have been outlined before. I believe someone even posted up a DIY outlining their progress. Have a look around the forum for details.

There are plenty of 4 stud rims around, you just need to know where to look. Yahoo Auctions is a good place to start, with heaps of WORK, NISMO, RAY, BBS rims floating around.

cant believe i'm saying this, but check out nissan silvia forums. they have heaps of traders who specialise in bringing in 4 stud rims with decent widths and diameters

Call up Jap workshop/importers and get quotes.

you might find that its quite affordable because you get a good brake upgrade at the same time.

My opinion would be go 5 stud. I just converted to 5stud on my R32. Im pretty decent mechanically, but I paid a workshop to do it all right the first time. It took the bloke just 1 day to do.

GL!

Eug is right, if you look theres plenty. i have 18" wheels in 4stud, decent width and offset too for an aus rim. it is painstaking but once you find the right wheels its all worth it in the end.

as long as you get wider than 7.5" and nothing with offsets above +38

Ahh, i didn't know that.

Over here we have the 200SX S13 and S14 and the S15 Sylvia

IMO its not really worth it (going through all the conversion) because you also need to upgrade calipers etc etc, which ofcourse is great for safety, but for non turbo power I would say its overkill... but you do both at the same time when you do the 5 stud conversion. 

If your in melb I can recommend a place that did mine for quite a decent price.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
