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

    • 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.
