Hub Swap

[FJ20DR30]

i know im banging on with this a bit but by chance does anyone know if the R30 front stub axles are the same as s13 stub axles?

ie will a R30 hub fit on an S13 stub?

thanks for any help

The reverse fits, so why not and I think you will find the front bearings are the same. The rears your just going to have to re drill the axle hub which will be the easiest. If your going to take the trailing arm apart to do this, it might be a good idea if you find a set of HR31/Z31 half shafts & inner axle flange.

HR31 & S13 hubs go on the DR30 front stub axle if you didn't understand what I meant.

yep got it Dennis i have an s13 front end now and turns out i had a set of 5 stud front hubs fitted to an old r30 sedan i brought years ago back in NZ so with some luck ill just fit those r30 hubs to the s13 stubs on the car.. clear as mud lol

as for the rear i have z31 stubs but from what i undersand i still need to change the rear bearings to fit them, so i may just redrill them instead. undecided at this point.

by the way there still old school wheels just 5 stud not 4 they will look great on it wait n see

Buy some real grease for the bearings to, not the shit made by Castrol & others called wheel bearing grease. If you can find a supplier of Mobiltemp 220, buy it, you might have to get 2.5kg which will be enough to last you about 1000 years, but it's great stuff.

I agree about the castrol being shit. only lasts 6 months.... then turns to water
