ooo and im not doing a 5 lug conversion and i read on this one website that

"-S13 uses 30mm front hub bolt, S14 uses 32mm front hub bolt. Both chassis uses 36mm rear hub bolt.
-Conversion to 5 lug on S13 chassis requires S14SE/Z32nonturbo rear hubs, and either 1) JDM aftermarket front S13 5 lug hubs, or 2) S14 SE front hubs + S14 spindle + S14 ball joint w/LCA (and redrilling of strut for larger strut bolt)."

Umm, that link you posted has the complete step-by-step details with pictures. Not sure what else you need unless you want someone to turn the wrench for you...

Honestly, I didn't want the hassle and expense of the rear brake swap. So, I just did the fronts. Here's a good read on braking bias for the 240sx: http://forums2.freshalloy.com/showth...ighlight=brake

It basically says front Z brakes INCREASE braking bias ~4.5%. Front and rear Z brakes DECREASE braking bias ~4%. Upgrading to a Z brake master cylinder will INCREASE braking bias ~1.5%.
