hey, im interested in doing the 5 stud conversion on my r33, however i cant find any complete guides on doing so... or more to the point, a complete list of parts needed to do it.

ive searched and found a few threads on it already, but so far, most of them have been saying different things about needing to replace parts of the braking system and what not.

also would anyone have all the parts to do the conversion sitting around for sale? :D

cheers for any points in the right direction XD

Get the turbo's 4 piston calipers with the bolts!, and rear 2 piston setup with 298mm rear disc and drum for the handbrake. The whole rear hub setup will have the handbrake stuff on it.

Then you need to see if the center spline of your driveshafts that runs through the rear wheel bearing is smaller than the turbo version...

i did this mod on my 4stud r32

got r33 turbo rear hubs and r32 front hubs, came with brake calipers, rotors and handbrake cables still attached

i found my driveshaft spline was the same and fit the turbo hubs

u need a big socket to undo the driveshaft nut from the hub, think its a 36mm socket

i upgraded my brakes at the same time and found that once i went for the first drive i had no braking pressure, adjusted the brake pedal where it connects to the brake master and i got brake pressure,

if u do upgrade the brakes i ur brake lines may have banjo fittings where they bolt to the caliper so you'll have to work something out

thats random, i sold sajid_arif those wheel hubs like a month ago, apparently they got damaged in the post, seems like they must be alright now, i bet they were always alright he just decided he didnt want them anymore so tried to make an excuse for refund. LOL

Didnet want to start another thread, Could a Brake upgrade be done on a R33 GTS4 without a 5 stud conversion, Say rotors and calipers of an AWD stagea?

Been trying to look for the Brake sizes aswell with no luck, info appreciated

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
