    Fronts are a relatively easy fit, you need to drill out the mounting holes on the front hubs to fit M14 bolts (drill out to 14mm ;)) and you need to find a set of m14 fine thread mounting bolts and probably cut them down.. The rears are alot more difficult as you loose your handbrake when fitting them. I may be interested in buying the rears myself though to use with my hydraulic handbrake setup, PM me a price if your interested in a deal :)

    Phil,

    How are you going to set the rears up? use the original Skyline parts or sort something out yourself?

    I was thinking about this but it looks like it's gonna be too expensive to fit the rears

    I'm not going to have a parking brake, it's not ideal, but the cars not exactly much of a road car anymore, so it doesn't bother me to much :)

    let me know what you have been offered and maybe we can come to an arrangement. I already have R33GTR rears to go on, but I'd prefere matching gold R34GTR rears ;) :dermal: :D

    The most expensive bit is the brakes themselves. Use an S13 handbrake assembly which will fit straight onto the S14 and then get a custom/bodged cable.

    Yay, S13 parts as an upgrade for S14s. Ace.:wack:

    LOL! It was only a matter of time,

    I could describe it as a weight reduction exercise,

    Don't think I could live without the handbrake on mine (although MOTs aren't a problem either :D )

    Gonna have a chat with Abbey and see what they can come up with
