I have been having so much trouble getting rims for my NA R33 that i am now considering a 5 stud conversion.

I have made some enquires and been told that the labour would cost around $3-400 but that i would need to source the parts myself as it is not worth the trouble for the shop to do so.

can anyone in Perth source the parts required? obviously i will need some standard GTS-t rims to drive my car after the swap :) but other than that what else is required?

has anyone in Perth had this done? and if so do you know anyone that will source and install the parts for you?

i was looking at doing this much further down the track but due to a lack of good 4 stud rims i may have to do so sooner...

any advice appreciated, i have done a search and had a look through but not seen any complete info in WA.

dude why dont you buy the wheel spacers that will convert your wheels from 4 stud to 5

like you get a spacer its about 1" thick or less or more as it is a spacer

its like a hub extension

so it bolts to your existing hub via the 4studs

and then has 5 studs protruding from it so that now you can use gtst or s15 wheels

i know in the eastern states you can get them from autobahn or somethng.. but not sure in perth who stocks them

They are na skylines there will not be much hurting going on :rofl:. A Smart thing to do would be to get gts-t struts for the front, which you would get nice 4 pot caliper brakes etc. And for the rear get the complete gtst diff disk to disk, then you would get lsd. You could probably get that in total for around 1k if you look around (IE forums of people wrecking their lines, MrMayfem , Hyperdrive, Dsturbd are also some other sobs that carry quality gear cheap) the labour to change these parts over would be cheap enough you will also get enhanced handling and breaking.

fair enough having lsd already will make it easier to sell to s13 types if they want to keep their 4stud. however.

hmm... not sure about the hub adaptors due to the strain.

i'd like to keep my skyline all motor for something different, seeing as i have ~127kw atw and looking to get a bit more later, the upgraded brakes and LSD would be a nice addition.

Hyperdrive said its too much trouble to get the parts so they won't source them but the labour is cheap enough.

thanks for the info, i'll have to look into what i need to get and how i can source the parts.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
