I'm not up to speed on what's required, so the JJR hubs fully replace the existing hubs, track doesn't change etc?

$550 for the kit isn't cheap, the wheels would have to be crazy cheap to compensate, could just as easily spend couple hundred more on the 4 stud rims than I planned and still be ahead and no stuffing with rotors... hmmm

But this opens up the wheel market, one set of rims doesnt... http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=269&page=1

Stay away from the JJR hubs! They break! I wouldnt touch them with a 10ft pole...and you want to run semis on them! NO WAY!!

It depends how picky you want to be with rims...there are plenty of 4 stud rims around in decent widths and offsets. GMAX, Koya etc etc.

IMO its easier to go 5 stud and then throw on some GTR offset rims ie 32,3 GTR wheels which are plentiful.

You need:

S14,5 front hubs and knuckles

S14,5,R33 LCAs, OR retain your S13 LCA and fit a S14,5 or R33 ball joint

S14,5,R32,3 rear hub assemblies with handbrake cables, upgrade to drum handbrake while youre at it too, use R32,3 rear discs

Its a fair list but all the parts can be had for way less than 800 if youre cunning about it.

Its all boltup and you can do it yourself, the only thing you need to mod are the coilovers.

Then while youre at it throw in a complete R33 brake system for insane braking power.

Point taken.... some of the Koya rims IE drift tek are multi stud, so would suit 4/5 stud pre/post conversion... So new set of drift teks would be similar money as second hand jap rims without the risk of buying damaged and repaired wheels...

there is a very nice set of 17x9.5s front and 18x10.5 rears RP-F1s on yahoo auctions

GTR offset +15 or +19 can't remember

only for an insane low price of 80k yean

i wish i had the money, but i'm set on buying a set of mesh wheels :D

I was talking about suitable offsets etc in another thread and Nisskid said to steer clear of the Koya's. I know a new set can be had for around the 1300 odd dollar mark. the offsets are super awesome though, +34 in the 8" wide if I recall. Would be a touch less inner clearance but if it needed a spacer at the front it would be a tiny one I think.. Hard to tell clearance to the shock when the car is off the ground, even when jacking the wheel back up.

Need a pit!

9.5+12 i think... i personally wouldn't run them...

yeah they are known to buckle over ripple strips, so not ideal track wheels.

spend some money and get the good quality stuff from a well known brand

someone is selling some Enkeis in the for sale section 8s front 9s rear if i remember correctly

Don't have the time or extra money, I need rims on the car before the 21st of September

Is it a done thing and SAFE to get 5 stud rims drilled?

I know a guy who has got Veilside Andrew Evolutions 5 Stud wheels and it has been Re-Drilled as a 4 Stud on his 180SX.

He drives the car around with them on.

He took it to Easternates this year and they seem fine, not sure if he did a wheel change and used other wheels tho...

You best check with your mechanic and local Wheel and Tire places.

those don't look too bad, 1600 delivered isn't awesome though

BUT, just found out they're made in the Philippines

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
