Changing My R33 From 4 Stud To 5 Stud

[DamageInc]

so , i want to change my car from 4x114.3 to 5x114.3 for obvious reasons...

im thinking of getting my parts from Japanese import spares as they are really good there with things ive purchased in the past

they do a conversion kit (pictured below) for $1,550.00 which includes

R33 GTST rotors , Breaks , Hubs , Control Arms and those other things that hold it together

so , do i need to buy new control arms , breaks and rotors ?

or can i just buy the hubs and replace the hubs.

here's a link to pictures of my front right hub etc etc

thanks in advance !

think u might need r33 gtr lower control arms cause of yours being 4wd.

save up and buy a gts-t then u got 5 stud and turbo

rather keep my awd and build my car rather then buying .

you will need either GTR or Stagea front hubs and GTSt either R32/33 doesn't matter rear hubs, and you dont need control arms

the best way i found to do this conversion is be patient wait till people come on and wreck there cars due to something unfortunate happening

and don't go to the place on magill rd for this conversion kit

JIS are good guys but make sure the brakes are R33 as the R32 gtst brakes are 280mm and GTSt are 296mm the ones you have shown are R32 brakes

if you need any info of where to go for fitment of your parts boostworx was BY far the cheapest in town

don't hesitate to ask me any questions

I found Steve at Nisswreck to be a good bloke and reasonably priced.....he has a fair bit of stock there.

Tell him SLED with the 34 GTR sent you.

speak to Steve Madaz as he has done the conversion. He's reading this atm so Hi Steve

just look above me, listen to that guy.

il have sum front and rear r33 series1 rotors 4 sale soon mate due to upgrading

[Madaz]

^^ see and it begins people are always crashing/upgrading and that's where you come in and buy cheap

Pete i have found JIS Z-imports Sinergy to all be cheaper than Nisswreck yes Steve is very helpful but his hands are tied also

to Luke

ediT

AND THERE oops is no difference from S1 and S2 brakes on the R33 and dont worry if your rotors calipers and hubs came off non ABS cars

can you take a pic next to the rotor with a ruler,

if there 28mm that's the minimum legal limit of the rotors
