A31 5 Stud Aftermarket Hubs

[VRdrift]

as the title states Ive found many aftermarket front 5 stud hubs for s13/a31 but have read on various forums that some are bum and some are great then the great ones are crap. I don't know which ones to go for so im wondering what you guys are using (apart from S14) << not paying 700plus for them

not real keen on JJR I don't like the idea of screw in studs, I have almost everything else-R33 calipers and discs, R32 rear hubs

any help would be great

cheers

Just the front hubs?

I run JJR on mine.

Loctite on the threads, tighten them in, let them set for 24 hours. I've ran mine for over 7000kms now and had not a single drama.

Alternatives:

Attain 5 stud hubs, suit S13.

- These sell for about $500-$600 on YahooJapan, the studs are pressed into the hub the same way as the factory studs. They're built to a very high quility.

J30 / Q45 Front hubs

- This involves pressing your S13/A31 bearings into the front hubs of a J30 Maxima / Q45. This would be your safetest option, and possibly the cheapest.

S14 Lazy-Man's Method (NOTE: I highly regard this method as lazy, unintelligent, and outright dangerous)

- This method is used by dudes who lack the muscle strength to undo the 27mm front hub bolt and knowledge of how to split a ball joint. They somehow gather in their mind that the wheel hub and knuckle assembly are ONE piece. Take S14 LCA, knuckle and hub, and install into your Cefiro. Bore out the holes on your knuckle assembly/coilover base, to accommodate the Cefiro coilovers, and tighten down your tie rod ends as tight as you possibly can, since you can't tighten the bolt down enough to get the split pin back through the bolt.....and hope to God it never comes undone.

EDIT:

This might be of some help as well.

I thought S14 hubs could accomidate S13 bearings but have found some debate about it. Might be worth investigating. S14 hubs will be easier to find than J30/Other.

cool cheers for all the info, ive never used aftermarket stuff before, ive always used s14, but its good to hear that the jjr hubs work for someone, I just can't quite get my head around the idea of them,

with the J30 idea, ive heard of the yanks doing it, but obviously the j30 is front drive, so I don't know how they work, unless I missed something
