I tried to install the studs I bought today and found that the knurled area is not thick enough. The length is great but damn this just sucks.

I took some pictures and will be posting them when I get home.

What can I do?

The fronts are going to be from a S14 and the rears are going to be from a Z32.

Thanks,

Stanley

 

odd? the 13's and 14's should be the same. ive put studs that were ment for a s14 se into a s13 hatch.

 

but arent the front and rear diffrent?


stan what did you come up with?
whow much are those ARP joints?
and for what make/model...

i really need some space

 

Odd yes. They are not all the same.

Here is a S13 bolt in a S14 hub:



Here is the link to the ongoing tech article.

Plain as day they are not the same.

S14s use two different studs. One for the front and one for the rear.

The rear can be used with S13s so those were the ones that fit in your car.

When I am done with the swap there will be another true source and you will not have to deal with the "yeah I heard they should fit"s like I am dealing with now.

 

good peice of info and yes they were for the rear of a 96 se i used 4 of 5 on the front of a s13.


so are they the same for a z32 maybe?

 

h and r springs sales a spacer and stud kit. it was the other half of the ones i used. he had ones on the front of a 96 s14 se. and i think 10mm spacer. i think they were a hundred bux tho. wanna sell those studs?

 

I am keeping half of the studs as they will fit the rear. The fronts have been sourced so now I am waiting for the spacers to be made and the lugs to come in.

I think this is going to happen soon so I will get an article going for us s13 guys.
