svMike Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've been reading about 5 lug conversions and Modern Motorsports' 5 lug Cobra hubs are exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, Ross doesn't want to respond to mails so I can't buy anything from him. Does anyone else sell/machine 5x4.5 lug pattern, zero offset hubs and Cobra caliper brackets? I don't want the ArizonaZ Wilwood kit, I'd prefer something I can get parts from a local NAPA, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodie Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 got to say im in the same boat as you, i was going to email next week and be ready to put down some money if needed, i like the idea of using cobra brake and can get parts cheaper. fyi if you do find another kit here a place that can get you the brake for a decent price.Its a local shop here and i know most of the guys that work there, quality stuff. to bad i dont have a mustang. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/SVE-2300K/1994-04-Mustang-Sve-13-Inch-Front-Cobra-Style-Brake-Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svMike Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Just wanted to let anyone interested know that Ross responded to me today (3/2/11) stating that hubs are being machined and are 3 weeks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 i think the bearings on 1st gen 300 zx hubs are the same if you are a build-it-yourself type .i prefer to shop at local pick&pull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Z76LS2 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 so that means it is possible to convert the front to 5 lugs ? from where you get the kit and how much ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck1545 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 it means you dont have to spend 500 bucks and wait for a million weeks of unreturned emails to get the hubs you want. Ive tried contacting ross at MM for YEARS, never once has he responded to any email I have sent him. I've given up on MM and am now sending my business to Techno Toy Tuning. I too am in the same boat with needing the 5lug front conversion. I believe the hubs need to be pulled from a 87 and up 300zx but im not certain. I also need some more details on the front 5 lug conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Z76LS2 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 let us know when ever you get any information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck1545 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 So staying glued to the forums for a few days here's what I found. You need the front hubs off of a 84-86 300zxt (turbo), or a 87-89 300zx (turbo model or non-turbo) as long as the 300zx has the PENTAGON style hubs they should work. The wheel bearing should be a 240z wheel bearing The dust seal should be a 300zx seal. using these parts you will move the offset of the wheel out 3/4" on each side. I think I read that if you use the 300zx caliper you dont need to purchase a rotor to hub spacer. BUT, its a pain to mount the caliper to the s30 spindle an is not a bolt on conversion However, if your planning on doing the 4x4 vented rotor swap you do need a spacer. But using the 4x4 yota or the 4runner setup maxes this a bolt on conversion. So far Modern Motorsports is the only company I know of who makes this spacer. If anyone knows ANYBODY else who makes this part please let me know. hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
