you can listen to nark and blow a small fortune... OR... buy a set of 4 stud to 5 stud spacers. Then you go to any brake shop, pick up a blank holden commodore disc and give em the correct offset of your 4 stud hubs and get em to machine it for you. Calipers you can pick up from someone sellin em on the forum or spare parts shops.

If you're just after brakes you don't even need the stud converters.

You dont need to change your hubs to fit 5 stud rims or larger discs on.

just japo had the whole conversion ofr like 1100bux but i missed out. Thi had the kitchen sink inc in that price. Now im hunting again.

BTW sopacersi have heard are not that safe. Esp from what i have exeprienced at high speed on the track. i.e they crack and u goneski.

there's a slight difference between a regular spacer with holes in it and a spacer with 9 bolts coming out of it.

Also... what's wrong with 4 studs... you'd bother to stay on 4 studs if you could get just as good brakes. The only reason most people went up to five stud hubs is coz its easier to fit R33 GTSt brakes on. If you're after better braking power you don't have to go to five stud hubs to get it, just get blanks machined up to the right stud offset.

LOL so in your theory V8 Supercars are unsafe because they only have 1 stud? ROFL :D

Ok to go 5 stud up the front, the EASIEST way is to get an S14 Lower control arm with the Balljoint and carrier still attached. That bolts straight into Cefi and lines up perfect. You then need to attach your S13 coilovers, but they need slight mod to fit the bigger bolted S14 carrier. Then attach whatever rotor to the hub. I am personally unsure of how to do the rear, but Im considering doing just the front and buying some P1 wheels, 2 5 stud and 2 4 stud, but then again the P1s come in a suitable offset for Z brakes on 4 stud. Confused!

well seeing as thats not a wheel stud i guess it wouldnt be :)

I have two moog ball joints (Saves you getting the S14 lower controll arm) a s14 caliper, s15 caliper( will bolt straight onto Spindle) two brake discs and both spindles, I have 1 hub from the left hand side, if you can get 2 hubs s14, left and right hubs would be best New.

the rear will need 300zx I think here is a link for you its good

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
