boss wants Huddy and I to five stud works skid ceffy

using 5 stud gear off a stagea front and rear cross member we have a work

just read that you can't use r33 stuff to five stud a s13

seeing as there around the same era thought I'd ask here before we get stuck into it

stagea setup we have seems to have the same brake setup as the ceffy has atm

I'd much prefer just to stick the motor in (T04r mmmmmmmmmmmmm) but he wants five stud

so Ive gotta be a good little worker lol

im keen to help

done it 3 times over on 2 cefs

whats he got lined up for the front?

i would recommend using (as we have discussed 1000 times in the past) r32/z32 rear hubs... slides straight into the stub axles on the cef and retains the drum setup (wally has em for 50 bucks each... or im sure being kansai automotive you surely have a pair (i have 1 z32 and 1 r32 one so theyre identical))

and then use r32/r33 rotors and whatever calipers you want aslong (32 type m/r33 gtst... same shit twin pot rears which will bolt to factory mounting points on cef stub axles)

all youll need to do is cut or remove the brake dust cover

for the fronts... thats another story

i have thurs/friday/saturday/sunday off so...

gtr is fine... too much shit with this whole 5 stud conversion thing is interchangeable

its nissan

to be honest i havent played with stagea... if it runs same balljoints as s14 you can use it by getting r33 balljoints pressed into the lower control arms and stub axles (now dont go asking why cant i use r33 then if i need r33 balljoints... think about double wishbone strut mounting points compared to normal suspension in silvia/cefiro)

you can use r32 front hubs also into the factory cefiro stub axles im 99.9% sure which makes it easy like the rear

go find 4 r32 hubs... slot em into your stub axles and get some 5 stud rotors n brakes (im assuming terry will go r33 gtst all round) and whack it on... bobs your uncle easy 5 stud

btw ryan i finally have driven my car with the 5 stud i got off you guys... front wheel bearings are shot... hope terry can give me a hand!

"btw ryan i finally have driven my car with the 5 stud i got off you guys... front wheel bearings are shot... hope terry can give me a hand!"

your joking right

you mean you didnt put new wheel bearings in when you swapped them over...?

cheap fix would be to put your old ceffy wheel bearings in assuming they'd fit

that help

dont think theyd fit s14 hubs?

nissan want 310 a bearing

cbc bearings want 305.60 a bearing!

ive got wed/thurs/fri off so ill come past n show you my BEARINGS and the vibrations which they are emitting throughout my car which is kinda turning me on...

and once again the 5 stud discussion lol

Well sounds like most of you guys are mechanics or have access to workshops with a press so you can mess with the S14/R33 ball joints.

But for the non technically minded (me) and the people that dont have access to a workshop (me) Try these little puppies for $550 from Just Jap, including front wheel bearings.

Just dont do what I did and buy R34 Calipers as they use bigger bolts. (I made them fit though :thumbsup: ) More info on that here. (only if your bored)

well im not sponsored so i dont automatically get that - must haggle >_<

sall good... markys wisdom confirms wheelbearings - he told me all the symptoms without driving the car and me telling him what is wrong... so yes its bearings

and a mate owes me alot of money - he cant pay up... so i collected some parts - including s14 front hubs with good condition wheelbearings :)

so that fixes that this weekend

see you dont realise that things are priced at that price for a reason - its not a garage sale... its a business - i suppose thats why you want 400 for those over fenders when you could more than likely source some for $200 set brand new...

so... if thats that sorted - you doin skids on saturday in your drift car?

i do realise this - but you cant haggle with businesses? some of us know what stuff actually is worth... thus we haggle

not saying kansai is expensive at all - just e-war with huddy

no my fully sick drift car is receiving maintainence over this week... need to adjust preload and height on coilovers, install kazama castor rods, exhaust is getting fixed on saturday, need to change front hubs due to screwed wheelbearings and fix some random kreeks and clunks

oh and if i can be f**ked swap my rear calipers over so theyre on the right sides :laugh:

300+ a bearing? I find that very hard to believe? you sure they are quoting for a complete hub? I think I got 4 bearings for my silvia for about 60 bucks each? Had to press them into the hubs myself though.

yeah i actually went into nissan

and theyre like oh whoops we meant full hub assembly with wheelstuds etc... and they wont seperate the bearing from the kit

all good though mate owes me money so as part of the money oweing im getting his good condish s14 hubs

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
