Hey ppl im upgrading the brakes on my Jap Spec R31 Coupe.

Just wondering on what ill need to convert to 5 stud at front and rear aswell.

Im thinking of upgrading the callipers and rotors to R32 GTST as thet easily fit but was wondering on what i need to convert to 5 stud is there a easy way to change the hubs or do you have to change struts and stuff like that.

Any help will be much appreciated

Cheers MIKE......

best bet check the brakes/suspension and steering tech threads on forum.r31skylineclub.com

from what ive heard the front rotors u can change to R32, just carrying over the 5 stud hubs

unsure about the rear tho. U hav it easy tho cos a lot more will bolt on than onto the aus models. Im lookin to do a similar change soon on my turbo aus S3 sedan........rear im havin to look at re-drilled hubs

thats ya best bet, there'll b a few ppl who hav done this mod (or kno how) so try ya luck there

Cheers for that and yeah ive looked there too and from what i can see on the forums and from what i actually have worked out, the hub on a Jap R31 has a taper bearing set up at the front and is not inter changable with any other skyline. The R32 has a straight shaft Bearing design so wil not just go in.To convert the front you need a S13 front strut and hub housing which has the striaght shaft bearing so you can put the R32 5 stud hub in that. Front Done.

The rear is a differant story as the hub extends into the diff, so one option is to weld up the 4 stud holes in the hub ( as it is not cast iron ), and drill the 5 stud into the original hub hey presto done.

The front is however a cast iron so is quite difficult to weld up to gain strength although some places do weld cast iron im not too keen on welding front hubs.

So does anyone know another option or have done this mod ?

I have had the fronts changed on my 31 coupe, they simply re-drilled the hubs and slipped R33GTST rotors and calipers on. Had it done at Boostworx.

I haven't had the rears done yet but from all the previous discussions on the r31skyline club forums the best way to do them is to get N/A 31 hubs (extremely hard to find) as they are 5 stud and apparently fit straight in.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
