I ended up using R32 calipers, splash guards and rotors on my laurel...The ceffie and laurel already comes with a drum style handbrake (same setup as skylines) so you can basically bolt off the stock gear and bolt on the R32 brakes...Everything fits and you can even user the stock handbrake cables

The mechanism is the drum handbrake...skylines come standard with these making it really easy to fit R32/33 hubs and brakes...not sure how you will get around this with the S15 brakes :D

I know I'm giving myself a plug here however the hubs we sell are a bolt on procedure. They don't require you to use S14 suspention components and can be setup as either 4 x 114.3 or 5 x 114.3 stud patterns. The only equipment you will require to finish a 5 stud conversion are R32/33/34 Rotors and Calipers, which as darcey has already stated are a bolt on procedure, however the brake lines will need to be to be converted from a banjo bolt to screw in style. This is not expensive and company such as Enzed or pirtek have mobile guys that will come and do the change very cheaply.

If you desire more information please have a read here or drop me a line via PM or email.

Soooo I was sitting at the lights the other day and this maxima pulls up next to me (late 90's model) and I looked at the wheels because they looked like S14 stockies. Upon closer inspection I looked at the stud pattern and though hang on a minute that looks like 5 x 114.3 :) and the brake were rather large aswell.

This got me thinking, would it be possible to put these onto a ceffy like what is done with the other conversions ??

After all if you can fit Ferrari brakes to an S15 im sure this is possible too! Please inform me tech gurus....

i think they are 5 x 114.3 but i suppose are they anybigger than the rb20det brakes that came on the ceffy which had a bn38 mc........

i think the maximas were 3 litre v6 right vg30 and probably vg20s .....

could be a much cheaper upgrade but considering it is car for aussi land its probably got really weak arse brakes designed for a barina or something

ok 5 stud going in today...

using standard lower front control arms and pressing the s14 balljoints into them (pedders do it)... then bolting everything up

for the rear... getting an s13 k's non hicas or r32 gtst non hicas rear cradle later this week and swapping everything in and going to use standard rear lower control arms aswell... converting to disc handbrake also

so front 5 stud should be done today... rear next week some time...

reason for not using the front or rear lower control arms - pushes track out 10mm either side... my wheels are of a wide width and low offset as it is - i don't need any wider!

I did this only the other day on my A31 Cefiro.

It's actually pretty easy once you get your head around it.

Rears:

Don't bother swapping the cradle, it's just far more hastle than it's worth. Just unbolt all the control arms, undo the 36mm bolt on the centre of the hub that holds on the drive/half shaft. Bang it out then undo the 4 17mm bolts that hold on the hub untill they are about half undone. Hit them with a hammer and it will loosen the hub. Then just unbolt the hub and bolt on, either: S14, S15, R32,R33,R34,Z32 rear hub. They are all the same fitment. Then bolt everything back together.

I would recomend fitting R33 rear calipers and discs which fit striaght onto the existing mounts (you have to bend the dust shield back)

Fronts are as described. You can actually use the S14 lower arm if you don't want to swap the ball joints. It does however give you a lot more camber. Also remember that the holes that you mount the shock to on S14 knuckle are bigger than the S13/A31 jobbies. So you have to either sleeve the hole with a bit of copper pipe and use the S13/A31 bolts OR drill out the holes in the bottom of the shock leg so that they fit.

Linky Linky....

5 stud swap for S13 (exactly the same as A31 cefiro)

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
