#233293 Wow thats a great fined great job.

In theory yes you can do this but as covered in that write up there are some things you'll need to take into account.

First off this was based on 5 lug disc's so you may want go for either a 5 lug conversion at the same time or get custom 4x100 discs made up for this.

Then there is the clearance issue so depending on what wheels your running you may find this a problem.

I would do some measuring of what your running and see if you can fit them in based on the measurements givin on the write up and take it from there.

R31 are non turbo so would they be legal at all in the states, do people import them?

#239827 turbo or not, matters none at all. Its the saftey and emissions of the car that matter.

I have never seen a 4 lug R32 or R33 Skyline. Show me some.

Base model with 4 lug wheels, Nissan Skyline R33 GTS with RB25DE engine, slow car to drive. There was a single cam non turbo of these cars which is rare, only a couple hundred are a around

#240069 about the lug spacing, you dont have to change to 5 lug..jus buy a set of power slot big rotors or jus re-drill the r32's

in my country its a common thing to see a FWD b13 sunny with Skyline brakes and a bunch of other nissan cars even a couple mazda's
all you need is that BRACKET which a machine shop can make,
im planning on doing this setup later on this year, got a bunch of nissan friends to hook me up with sum calipers and rotors from the R32.
it looked real sweet on that EK9 and the cost of this setup is unbeatable compare to other big brakes kits eg. Spoon, Willwood, Brembo,ect.

I don't think many people can afford a GTR, a modded GTST can still out run a GTR with minimal mods.

I had an R34 sedan, always got looks everywhere I drove. Fast car + extra room!!
