    the skyline front hubs wont fit due to a different suspension layout.

    regarding the rears, you just need the hub unit (4 bolts in the rear of the carrier, swively bit). id strongly advise you get your discs redrilled allowing you to keep the original wand setup

    the discs off the r32 are the same as a z32, so it uses the very same handbrake setup.

    only things you need is r32 rear calipers and discs to have the z32 conversion.

    no need to use yout stock discs, toss them in the bin.

    Well change of plan, have managed to find some standard 13 hubs to go on.

    But

    With regards to Brake upgrade, are the calipers of the R32 a straight swap over? i know the fronts are but what about the rear? would i also need a different disc for the rear or could I use the standard 13 disc?
    Cheers for the help guys

    r32/z32 Rear caliper is a direct bolt on.

    Here is a shot of one on the back of my Capri (dont ask)

    297mm rear disc is the most commonly used. (Factory disc is shown in the pic and as you can see, isn't big enough)
