ok, so i have been looking for a set of rims. thinking black with a silver rim in 18s or higher. not having too much luck in finding 18s in 4 stud though so im thinking maybe i should do the conversion. what parts would i need for it and price wise what am i looking at (i will be doing the work myself)

cheers panda.

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.

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.

      Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory

      well mate, while I hear your pain, turns out I don't feel it this time! Must have been a bastard of a job crammed into the boot The tank was very empty (probably pumped out, not dropped and drained because there were some fumes still) and in very good condition internally. I'm sure he never ran e85 in it I don't know what the hell Nissan's fuel tank engineers were thinking about their clipping system, this hanger was really hard to get moving but came out in the end All looks very good (as I'm starting to hopefully expect) and Matty was right it is an 023 (044) bosch which should be plenty for the injectors and turbo
