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!

JK

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

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
