[Help] R33 Gts 5 Stud Converion

[DarkRyda]

Hi everyone,

Don't ask for assistance often but i have searched around quite a bit and i am yet to find answers to some of the questions i have. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but iv decided to do a 5 stud conversion on my NA R33 GTS just have a few questions i need cleared up before i begin.

1. If i get the 5 Stud hub/brakes/rotors from an R33 S2 ABS Skyline is it still compatible to be swapped over to my S1 Non ABS Skyline ?

2. Do i need GTST brake lines & handbrake cable?

3. What list of parts do i need to complete the conversion?

I know you need 5 Stub Hubs/GTST Brakes/ GTST Rotors... do i need anything else? for example control arms etc... or is everything else the same on an R33 GTS and its pretty much a straight swap over once you have the three major parts.

Thanks in advance =)

I did the conversion about a year ago, its not too hard and its worth it.

From my local wreckers:

I got 33 GTST front and read calipers

For the rear I just got the hubs for the 4-5 stud

Fronts I swapped the whole front knuckle for 4-5 stud

I didn't bother with using old and unknown condition brake lines so I spent a bit more $$ and went for braided lines. The brake lines are the same im pretty sure.

DBA slotted rotors front and rear.

And A1RM QFM brake pads for front and rear also.

Bolt all of that up and bleed the system.

Also paint the calipers if you want while they are off the car.

Only thing I would do differently is to get a rebuild kit for the calipers, which I will be doing soon anyway.

And you don't need to touch the handbrake cables.

you will need to purchase similar to this http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=474577

But i think you need non ABS, not sure on that one

Thanks for the info guys wondering anyone know about the ABS question?

Is anything different apart from the ABS rings? if that's it then I don't see it being an issue, you'll just have them sitting there doing nothing.

Bump,

sorry for bring up an old thread but i need the first question answered as i plan to do the conversion in a few weeks time! Thought id bump this thread instead of creating a new one.

if i purchase 5 Stud hub/brakes/rotors from an R33 S2 ABS is it still compatible to be swapped over to my S1 Non ABS ? do i just leave the ABS rings unused? or is there more to it.

[sydking]

yes that will work fine

Thank you =D Hopefully this thread also helps other people who are looking at doing the conversion.
