S14 brakes and calipers??? Havnt seen a thread... but you either need to get front 5 stud conversion or the discs re drilled... i always thought there wasnt a whole lot of difference in the the calipers and disc sizes???

Not too sure about the turbo... feret or mammoth have both dealt with theirs on the 13

as far as i know the brakes are a straight fit from S14 -S13 but you need the facelift brake carrier. The turbo needs to be rotated slightly (just a case of getting a decent spanner on the bolts) but thats it! (also get braided lines to the turbo while youre at it:nod: )

HTH:thumbs:

ive fitted my brakes recently and it was pretty easy just have to cut back the dust sheilding to fit the larger discs then the calipers and discs just go straight on

Brakes are not to bad to do.

You need to either remove the rear dust cover or flatten the edge that wraps around the standard disc edge.

The calipers bolts straight on.

You will need the discs to be redrilled to four stud pattern. (Dan at dbbrakes sells discs already to go on)

You will need a sprigot ring to sit in the middle of the disc to centralise it on the hub (dan at dbbrakes does these)

You will need different brake hoses as the 14 caliper connection is not the same as the 13 one (bren sells these)



As for the turbo you will need to rotate the inlet core so it clears the manifold.

Need a stub pipe for the inlet of the turbo (bren)

Braided oil feed needed (bren)

One hole on the dump pipe needs to be enlarged slightly

From memory the oil drain is fine but cant really remember:annoyed: it was a long time ago i had a s13

Oh and be prepared to loose some skin on your knuckles:nod:

Hope that helps, if you want any help give me a shout

wow... sounds quite an expensive/time consuming job....

[Chiffs-boy]

Turbo takes the longest due to number 2 and 3 lower mani bolts being a pig to get too.

Everything else is fairly easy really.

Easy removal method is:-

Undo
Dumppipe to downpipe nuts
remove all turbo water and oil lines
discounnect turbo inlet and ic pipework
remove mani nuts (hard bit)

Pull mani, turbo and dump pipe out in one.

When refitting leave the dump pipe off, it makes it easier for doing the mani nuts up.

And if you have abs you will have even less room to get around it all:annoyed: :cry:

cheers,that has cleared that lot up then.!!luckily i already knew about the manifold bolts as i have had to do those before so it not a lot more than i was expecting.

thanks again :)
