XT130/RT132 5 lug conversion...

[njccmd2002]

Hi guys, i have a ra24 here in the us. I have the corona struts, and i have searched for a possible 5 lug conversion. Yes its done but please read further.

I dont have access to the starion, or certain models that aussie has, i found that some hubs from the ms65 crown fits, but again, its rare in the us(not sure if even sold), and trying to keep it simple beacuse if it breaks i dont want to pay another arm or leg...

Reason for 5 lugs, is because the supra mki rear end is rare nowadays, and i can get a 5 lug from a hilux. but 5 lugs in the back and 4 in the front well kind of tacky.

So, anybody have any suggestions, will cressida or later 5 lug cressida fit with the corona spindle, what about the 5 lug hilux. Anyone in the us tried. all what google gets me is not much. And if i have to go 5 and 4, then be it, but i want to explore the avenue...

you US/CA folks got the 5-stud starion hubs - over here we only got 4-stud hubs. Talk to rsdeo on here (he's up in Ontario) as he seemed to be able to find them.

If you were willing to change the entire front strut, then s13 (or is it later) nissan would be the go.

would the s13 change the dynamics of the suspension like too much caster, camber, etc?

Ill see about the starion, i tought it was only in aussie. thanks..

S13 front suspension would change the front - it's not an easy job but it gives you some access to cheaper brake, suspension & wheel hardware giving you adjustability:

If you can find some some starion hubs then all you're doing is changing the hub and you can go down this route for adjustable suspension:

What about nissan z31 (300zx turbo) (87-89) I belive these hubs may fit, hard to find in australia, may be easier in the states?
