2 REAR INFINITI NISSAN WHEEL HUB BEARING ABS 5 LUG PAIR - eBay (item 160537534605 end time Mar-26-11 14:41:03 PDT)
these hubs are for abs and non abs. so they are good.
- 4 new studs, 3 bucks each.


-redrill rear rotors by using the hubs. or you can buy new ones. 1994 maxima rears



for the front.

fairly difficult. if your going to do it yourself.

so you will need a big drill to be drilling on the hub. and for the drill bit.

heres the parts on ebay. -http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Maxima-Infiniti-I30-Rear-Wheel-Hub-Bearing-Set-/350413741950?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMaxima&hash=item5196495f7e

other than that, you can drill, like what we did.



for the bit to fit in the rotor its a 1/2inch chuck, which is a 12.7mm,after you got a hole down for the hub you need to use the next size drill bit, which is going to be 17/32 drill bit. for the hub to fit the studs

or you can just take off your whole steering knuckle and bring it to a machine shop who would do it for you. for like 40$. and it is accurate.

then you will need a 1994 maxima rotor to be used , which is an exact fit. and to be used to mark where to drill. 5x114. your basically drilling just 4 new holes, and by keeping one stud on to hold the rotor and as a marker. oh and when you hammer out the studs, make sure you put the lug nuts on so you dont round the top of the studs, or else your lug nuts wont screw back in. hit them studs out as hard as you can. :]

the hub is pretty thick. so its ok to drill.






then your done. all these parts will cost you about 250$ without the wheels.

wheels, you are on your own.

enjoy :] and be in the 5 lug club, we will be waiting.

Great man! thanx a lot, hope i can do this sometime

Hmm... just wondering can we utilize the 350z front brembo brakes adapter for the s-chassis since we know the pattern is the same?

what do you mean adapters? moltennizmo

So I noticed those rear hubs, they're ABS.
Do any of you guys have ABS? Were you able to retain it?

I know unisajecs has ABS still, but I remember him having some trouble and doing some ghetto rigging.

the hubs are for abs, and u can put the abs ring on it. i dont have abs on mine, but i still used the abs hub. they work fine

Or buy this?

I guess no adapters. I was thinking adapters for the STI/EVO front brembos. Anyway, I guess this s14 on the link has the same bolt pattern as the brembos and you just need to make a bigger hole on the mounting hole.

Inches = Imperial/Standard
Meters/mm/cm/km = Metric

oh, i have it mixed up. sorry.

so you plannin to do the 5 lug to qr25?
