Need Guidance As To Converting Hubs/brakes

[alwaysdreaming]

hey guys

i have a r31 (4 stud) that i wanna upgrade the brakes on from my r33gtst (5 stud) as i wanna upgrade the brakes on the 33gtst to 33/34 gtr brakes while im at it

just wondering what i would need to do for both of these transfers, any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks

For the R31, the most common way is to convert to S13 front coilovers, and then you can get some 5 stud hubs and you can bolt your brakes on. I'm not sure which hubs are used, I think maybe S14.

If you can find some import HR31 struts you can use them instead of changing to S13 suspension because they have the 100mm caliper mount spacing whereas the Australian delivered Skyline struts had the 88.9mm spacing (with the exception of the GTS1 / GTS2 Skylines which also had the 100mm spacing) I'm not sure whether you can swap 5 stud hubs onto these struts though, so you may have to re-drill your rotors doing it this way.

More people usually go the S13 route simply because it's easier to find the parts, HR31 struts don't come up all that often, and when they do they aren't cheap.
