DamageInc Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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 !

Madaz Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241283-changing-my-r33-from-4-stud-to-5-stud/#findComment-4212292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
