Ok, my latest random thought (mind you these arn't backed with a lot of knowledge which is why i am asking)...

Yesterday, i was thinking, if the Aus delivered maximas came with 5 stud hubs (the ones slightly newer than the cef looking model)... can these hubs be bolted straight on to a cef?

I realise more people would've done this if it where the case but i had to ask anywhoo... any imput guys?

That is a Damn good question........By the way..a CT26 won't bolt on, and besides they are also a ceramic turbine, therefore the benefits would be minimal........

better getting an HKS 2530. A turbo such as that will place your peak power at approx 5500rpm, ideal for drift.

Yeah, that what i was thinking, I mean, I know Nissan has a habbit of using common parts which makes modifications a lot easier for us... but i was just looking at a maxima thinking hmmmm, I wonder lol!.... any research results will be tops thanks guys...

We did the conversion on mine in perth.

Engine - $8000.. had a/m goodies

gearbox - $1500 Rebuilt VL Turbo item

Turbo's - $4500.. over 300rwkw @ 1bar.. love it.

also got a custom 8l sump

custom tail shaft

Wolf3d v4 pro ecu

etc etc

it all adds up.. I reckon it cost me over $20k all up with parts labour tuning etc.. but its worth it :P

hub wise i run 5 stud conversion all round from R32 gts-t/Z32 with the bigger brakes. it is an easy conversion.

Ditto, but I have DBA 4000 slotted disks and RB74 pads. Id have a look at the maxima disks and calipers hey, I cant see them being better than the R32 items. (ie 4 pots)

Yeah, you've kinda made the 2 points i've been keeping in that back of my head....

I figure, if you can just swap hubs with a new maxima (without having to swap anything else)... then you can get brand new rotors (rather than second hand) and what ever calipers you like... do you know what i mean?....

Ok, next question....

Hows this sound for an intermacooler?

Hybrid Bar and Plate; 15 Dar design (apparently a new design with better flow etc)

600x300x76

How would this go on a stockish cef for light dori use?... (ie ammature) i'll want a FMIC obviosly and i can get this one cheap... is it a good one to use or should i get a GTR intercooler (tube and fin?)...

I got no idea bout em eh... :confused: LOL!

Get the bar n plate hybrid one. Also use a bleed valve, I can get you the GFB bleed valve for $45 coz I have a trade acct with the distributor in VIC, however the pipes on the RB20DET on the ceffy (stock one anyways) is different to a R32 so installation is a lil trickier.

My dad's ceffy now sports a GFB bleed valve and it does a wonderful job.

I remember reading an article bout the pro cons of bar n plate and tube n fin but i have learnt nothing.

I think the gtr ones are tube n fin aren't they? Personally i trust calsonic more than hybrid but hey I'm only going by brand :(

Can anyone explain quickly what the practical advantages/disadvantages would be? I thought for 90% of people out there it wouldn't make too much difference.

I don't see this being less than $500 all up. If it was more than $500 I'd spend a couple of hundred extra to shop around for some r32-m/s14/15/r33 brakes. I mean the maxima isn't a performance car. The rotors from a skyline would be better than maxima ones imo.

Being new or not doesn't matter if you get some rotors with some decent bite - machine them down and bobs your uncle.

but it does make a difference when theyre bigger than the ones on the older ceffies and are 5 STUD. skyline brake conversion would set u back around the 1000 mark inc labour... id rather do it myself to cut the costs down and cause i like to work on my own car... but not everyone can do that or has the tools.

*shrug* wouldn't bother with maxima brakes just for a 5 stud conversion. Drilling hubs is cheaper if that's what you're after if not using 4 stud to 5 stud spacer. On the other hand I don't know what i'd do my car already had the conversion done ;)

daveo - no, nothing wrong with that but I think you'd be changing the handling characteristics to make it into a bit of a different car than the usual drift car. Don't get me wrong I think it'd be great but i think the same difference would apply to a s13 sr20 and a s13 rb30.

Mind you it'd be crazy nice to have a fat cefiro tourer styled car. .. wide body kit, fat 18 or 19x10" wheels. 265 tyres. Chunk rollcage. Subtler muffler (than drift styled). JGTC styled cefiro. *drool* :aroused:

OI OI OI OI OI OI OI whats this about maxima hubs? Whos dunnit? Youre saying... 2003 model Maxima 5 Stud hubs bolt on, although theyre FWD etc? Anyone confirm?

JK

lol Garage J springing into action for some super happy fun taxi dorifto action

lol!... no, I was asking if you could bolt up the 5 stud hubs from like a 92-3 model maxima then get brand spankin new rotors then ya calipers... wondering if it would be a cost effective move or what or if it can even be done at all....

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
