4 to 5 lug conversion...Contano brand?
Here is the link. How can it be so cheap when compared to the Ichiba? Is it good because I will jump on them if you guys say so...

lol thats freaking cheap.
could always just get an oem set of bearings to throw in them, they had to cut corners doing something at that price, even stock would cost that much to machine the hubs

I bought ichiba rears and they look the same. Hopefully the ichiba and the contano are decent. I am just waiting to buy rims before I throw them on.

you cannot use stock rotors with z32 brakes but like said above drill out. I drilled out my j30 rotors to work with 4 lug.

I bought my 5 lug hubs off ebay years ago and put probably 20k+ miles on them. 75 launches on the track with slicks, a few trips to deals gap (5 hour one way) many passes up and down deals gap and a wreck where the majority of the weight of the car landed on one wheel kinda sideways..... and mine still ride smooth. We just put a set on my dad's car.

The rears are a pain but once the 4 bolts are out, nothing a maul can't take care off. I have been running on mine for three weeks and no issues.

Remove brakes and brackets. I had to disconnect upper control arm, toe control arm, other arm as well as take off axle nut, rear strut. Pop out the driveshaft and use an impact gun to remove for bolts. Hit hub until it pops out then install by doing reverse. It is simple just more stuff to move.

Re: 4 to 5 lug conversion...Contano brand?
sorry to bump an old topic - but i'm looking for updates on these. Those who have these and have had them for a while - what are your thoughts?
additionally - I cannot tell form the pictures on either their website or the ebay ad for these - but do they use a clip to hold the bearing in like the OE applications?
