im doin mine using the s15 complete setup i.e. hubs.. rotors .. calipers... uprights... before iget started... are the brake lines the same or do i need custom shit??... ummm.. just wanted to know... :s

cheers

im doing the same. full s15 - calipers, rotors, hubs, spindles, knuckles, handbrake and lower control arms...

anyone know:

a) will s15 lower control arms fit? if so benefitial due to possibley further out design?

B) handbrake cable... how to modify between a31 and s15 to fit?

cheers bigears

Pretty sure S15 lower control arms are different.

The size of the bolts where the strut mounts to the carrier are different on S15 also, S13 style shocks might not have enough meat to be drilled out 2mm.

If you use a R32 GTS-T rear cradle the handbrake is as simple as clipping the cable back on. You will need a bigger master and a double diaphram booster I think.

S13 struts can be redrilled, if done properly, its safe. Its common practice to do so as the s14. s15 struts are longer. You can either use a 14mm drill bit or a 9/16".

If you can find them seperately, its possible to just press out the ball joints for the knuckles, and use the matching ball joints, as said before s14/15 are different.

You will need the new master with the 32 rear brakes, and possibly a new booster, although it might not be worth the hassle, what has the ceffy got on the rear atm?

If you buy 300zx tt spindle and hub from a wrecker, the hub bolts straight up to the S13, then just bolt on the handbrake, and rotor and caliper. Also notice from abservation that R32 GTR hubs looked identical to the 300zx. Can be done for about $300-$400. Also need to get brake booster from 300zx or R32. Here is a good website.

Also I think the R32 front calipers are much better than the S14/S15 from memory. Aslo check out Nissansilvia.com.au

Had a lot of probs with mine as I have nismo lower controll arms so I was wondering what the hell it had all come off, but seems sorted now.

hey guys am in another dilema, thought my rear was a 300zx, and as I have the whole thing appart I need to get some info to grab the parts to change the hub. The 300zx is too large for the axle and just rotates over the spines, coulld it be an R32, does anyone know if they have a smaller axle. it does have the drum hand brake as well???

just to rehash this thread...

Can i fit R32 skyline 5 stud rear hubs to the back of my ceffy, and redrill the stock rotor to accept 5 stud?

I want to do the 5 stud rear cheap as possible. i dont need the bigger bralkes but i need rims, and 4 stud rims are hard to find

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
