Thread: **Z32 Calipers in a B13**

has anyone done a 5 lug conversion?... i thought i saw somethin like that on the old sr20forum... to bad i cant see the forum anymore

Im not sure what was up with the other guys set up. My calipers line up perfect. i havent really looked at them good, but they may be a slight difference to make left and right sides causing them to be crooked.
For the 5lug conversion you just need a maxima hub insted of the sentra hubs. I cant remember what you use for the rear.

Mine line up perfectly as well, and the pads wear evenly.

So is this any B15, like 1.8l, any?

Yah my knuckles/hubs were off a 1.8L.
The angle of the camra could have caused it to look misaligned.

To each his own I just dont like they way they sit, the caliper does not sit correctly by your pictures and the fact that you have to machine the rotors. I have had many requests for a bracket because of it. Plus I would rather have a Wilwood caliper.
If you are happy with it that all that matters.

Actually they fit as good as factory. Even on both sides.
Whats the big deal about machining the rotors? It took 10min to do both. I found some that wouldnt need to be machined, but they were off a volvo and cost $20-30 more a rotor.
The point of this swap is that its a good factory NISSAN caliper, not an aftermarket setup. Thats why the thread title say "Z32 calipers on a B13", and not "Willwood calipers on a B13"

yea i would rather sport the nissan logo then the willwood, having that willwood caliper flashing is like inviting car theives to do some damage. espicially in SoCal.

so whats the price range for everything you need on these calipers? 300 mark?

Ive got about $370 invested so far. $80 calipers, $80 new rotors, $140 for steering knuckles (ebay), $60 new wheel bearings, $10 new wheel lugs. Im going to get some hawk brake pads, steel braided brake lines and an altima master cyl also. So im guessing it will be about $500-550 in the end. BTW all of my machine work was free. Im a machinist. It shouldnt cost more then $60 to modify the rotors the way i did.

lol still a lil steap for me, i guess nx brakes will have to do. well until i get enuff for these conversions.
