as if i dont have enough work to do on this car, i just added more. saw a deal for z32 tt rear hubs, carriers, backing plate, parking brake assembly ect (everything that unbolts from the rear suspension but no calipers) and bought it. so here's where the questions begin.

importnut claims that you can use the z32 rear hubs, but now somebody has told me they wont work because the s13 6 bolt drive shafts are much too small. is this true?

is there a difference between N/A and TT master cylinders? i know importnut says there isnt, but i want your opinion because im about to buy an N/A one.

importnut also talks about not having to splice z32 and s13 brake lines by re routing the stock brake cable through the subframe. does anybody have any info on this?

can i use any z32 tt calipers with any z32 master cylinder?

the parts i bought came from a hicas car, and i dont have hicas. i assume this wont matter?



will have more questions when i can think of them. i still need front rotors (thinking of going with stoptech up front and keeping stock rear) and all calipers and lines/cables. not to mention 5 lug conversion parts and gtst rims (which i will probably need a spacer to use). god damn this shit better be worth it

i wouldnt buy gtst rims......there only 6.5 inches wide with a +40 offset. Gtr rims are well worth the price if you ask me. Look good, 8 inches wide +30 offset, forged magnesium so you know there strong. Well im assuming your talking about the r32 skyline here. I think the r33 and r34 have 17inch wheels which would be better if you plan on going huge with brakes. But i know for a fact r32 gtr rims will clear.

So i dont get it....you got everything for the rear except actual calipers??? So that means stock brakes still? Or your getting the z32 front and rear calipers too?

yeah i know gtst rims are pretty weak, but many people tell me they will clear the calipers and i can get them for around $70. im just gonna use them untill i can afford FNs.
right now, all i have is the hard to find shit for the rear, i still need: z32 calipers, spl brake lines, hand brake cable, front rotors, r32 front lower arms and ball joint, s14/s15 hubs, and the rims. il get some pics up when the stuff gets here. :D
