A mate of mine did it, he got the rear brakes and hubs off a z32 n/a 300zx, and fitted the bigger brakes, and hubs as they bolted up to the driveshafts. We needed to make a bracket for the handbrake cable and get new brake lines made.

On the front he got the hubs machined to 5 stud and used r32/z32 brake rotors with the 4 spot brakes. If your going to convert to 5 stud you may as well upgrade the brakes. I think you can also get s14 or s15 front hubs but you need to change other things as well.

Doesn't sound too hard. I believe the S14 & S15 actually are 5 stud standard? Why the hell did they cheap out on the S13!! Damn them.

I definately plan to upgrade the calipers at the same time, may as well.

Then was thinking about trying to get some R33 GTR 17" wheels for it, I think they would look great on a 180SX.

But I still have to sell my R33 and get a 180 before I can do anything like all of this!!

Z32 brakes are by far your cheapest and easiest option - You can upgrade the brakes and do the 5stud conversion at the same time for little money. The Z32 brakes are quite big, and if u get them drilled they will look very impressive. They're very easy to put onto the S13 also.

the S14/15, rear hubs are straight bolt on. As for the fronts you have a couple of choices - you can use the entire S14 stub axle inc lower control arms and bolt them straight on, this wheel give you 10mm more track at the front. Or you can go aftermarket hubs which bolt stgraight on, Tokyo toys manufacture replacement hubs for the S13's. If you have any more questions let me know.

    • 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?
