ok,
i've asked this before but couldn't get a definite answer, i also searched and couldn't find anything.


i want to do a 5 stud conversion on my n/a s13 soon after i pick it up on Wednesday so i can use my 5 stud advans.
now i know i cant just use the z32 hubs because the half shafts are a different size, but i found this thread on zilvia.com about swapping the z32 diff into the s13 casing and using the z32 half shafts for the diff to work.

http://zilvia.net/f/...ff-options.html

so, if i was to take the z32 r200 diff, z32 half shafts and then the z32 hubs and brakes off the wreck, am i able to use the WHOLE lot in the s13 or am i missing something.



i was told the z32 rear cradle WILL NOT FIT in an s13 chassis and will need to be cut and re-welded to make it fit.

is this true?

for the front i know i will need s14 LCA's, but do i need the s14 hubs aswell ?


i know i've asked alot of questions about this but i have the whole z32 front and rear suspensions, brakes, diff and tailshaft sitting in my garage and i would rather try and use them then have to give them away to the wrecker so i can get rid of the shell.

Why not use 33 gear and not worry about all this?

Or just use S14 rear hubs and get some hubs up front and redrill the brakes?

pretty sure i have told you a few time for the front you need the s14/15/r33 lca's and the s14/15 knuckles and hubs.

as for the rear why don't you get out a measuring tape and see how far off they are? and are you sure the axles are bigger in the splines? of just going off internet hearsay
