R31 5 Stud Conversion Help!

[Redliner007]

Hey guys Iv been working on my project r31 passage gt, and now its time to look at brake and suspension. I was wondering if someone out there has done the conversion on the 4 door r31 and what it takes. I am able to get a hold of r32 5 stud gear would that be enough?

What kind of work will it take? My main reason for the 5 stud is I'm keen on getting bigger brakes for a bit more power and better handling/traction while I'm at it lol.

All tips/suggestions and comments will be much appreciated.

R32 stuff wont work...you need a set of z31 turbo hubs , if you already have hr31 struts then the nissan 4 spot caliper will bolt straight to the strut without the need for a caliper adapter.

need z31 or custom for the rear. for the front the most common thing is s13 conversion and for 5 stud s14 hubs

if you have the turbo brakes you can bolt bigger brakes on and for the 5 stud ones just redrill the discs to 4 stud.

hey thanks guys really appreciate this. So other then the pre 88zx/zr I really dont have a choice except to go custom? My reasons in doing the upgrade are because my plans with the car is to get somehwere around 500bhp so I would like to stop reasonably well for my own safety also wider wheels choice will be nice.

Would it be alright if I stuck to four stud all around and upgraded my front discs from 260mm to the biggest the 4 pot calipers will take? What are you thoughts on this?

yeah BFF did this S13 conversion and used Z31 rear hubs n S14 5 stud, put in S13 coilovers and used R33 GTS-T brakes (with IIRC an R32 non ABS master cylinder)

I think I may just opt for keeping the 4 stud hubs and upgrading to bigger brake discs and using gtst 4 pot fronts with good brake pads all round, seems to be the cheapest effective way. What do you guys think? I mainly want it to stop ok compared to now lol
