just for shits and giggles if you were wanting to upgrade your brakes but keep the 4 stud standard set up, whats the best way to go about it?

the best way to go about it would be to work some more hours, quit being a tight arse and get a 5 stud set up.....

Just Jap 5 stud hubs $550

RDA Slotted R33 discs = cheap

Bendix Ultimate pads = cheap

R33 Calipers = cheap

i don't know the RRP prices for the stuff with a 'cheap' price tag as i got all four corners for approx $600 for all rotors, calipers & pads, but that was mate's rates

There's no need to upgrade to 5 stud unless you have difficulty finding the wheels you want in 4 stud.

The R32/S14 calipers bolt straight on, you have 3 options for discs.

1 - redrill the disc (9 holes) so it's 4/5 stud multifit

2 - buy blank faced R32 rotors from RDA, and have them drilled in 4 stud

3 - buy R33 non turbo rotors (same size but factory 4 stud)

If you upgrade to R33 calipers, buy blank faced R33 rotors and have them drilled in 4 stud.

i would NOT buy these just jap hubs! they are pretty shitty quality and made of a "soft" alloy!

do it properly using nissan gear and you cant go wrong

ha i work enough hours as it is not being a tight arse, if i wanted 5 stud i would of said so, there was no need to bar up at a simple question. i have the wheels i want in 4 stud..

AND ive seen too many of the JJR 5 stud conversion hubs split in half due to complete dodginess of manufacture...

cheers for the help Daisu.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
