ok so i think im going to change to 5 stud and i have a couple quick questions.

front .. if i have s13 stubs/axles will an s14 hub just fit over the s13 stub ie the axle is the same size?

rear .. i have z31 rear hubs will these fit inside the standard dr30 brake discs ie leaving only the new hole spacing to be drilled ? or better yet just swap to a z31 rear disc?

if there is more to this please let me know

Cheers Marc

Not sure about the rear, but the front you will need s14/s15 hubs AND knuckles.

Alternatively, you can buy 5 stud hubs that suit s13 knuckles of usa ebay and such, cheap and supplied with new bearings.

Heard good and bad about them

Cheers

Come on Dennis give me a little Credit!

the 5 stud idea is so i can fit some very cool wheels iv been able to find and im not sure how changing the stud pattern constitutes huge aftermaket mods?

And yeah i am pinching pennys where ever i can to save me money on this car, i dont have lots of coin so ill save it where i can.

I have an idea for it and ill stick to it! iv never said i want to keep it stockish in saying that i want the interior stockish. i just want to keep it old school Jap Cool.

Now maybe you have in this case been confused cause i have the car thats already a 2.2leter and verious other mods.?

I am disapointed you made that post as i thought we got on well?

Sorry Marc, but as you know, I wasn't alone in Melbourne and you know another on this forum was there as well and all 3 of us got the impression you were really strapped for cash.

I do understand there is a greater selection of wheels in 5 stud pattern, but the selection in 4 stud isn't far behind. I guess you have found what your looking for and want to change your hubs to suit. Nothing looks worse than a 20+ year old car with new shite & briny wheels.

My idea of these classics is to keep them to the genre they were manufactured in and keep searching till I find what I like in the fashion it has to be. You might think I'm not nice but that's how I see it & on the occassion we met in Melbourne, I wasn't alone.

Just as an example, I have about 4 or 5 pairs of hot plate tail lights, but all grey background, yet the PNV had black out of the factory and I just paid 60000 yen on yahoo + all of the domestic + EMS freight & commissions which will end up being about AU$1150.00 delivered to keep the car authentic. I have also bought from Nissan a set of the chrome mouldings that go on the doors & rear window sills. Another AU$600.00, because the originals are damaged, to make the car concourse condition.

Cheers, D

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
