Thought I'd ask you guys first

Ive got a s13 Silvia which is 4 stud and wondering if I could do a 5 stud conversion using S2000 brakes, hubs calipers etc.

Reason being my friend is parting a S2000 so id thought I can take this oppotunity and turn it possitive.

So is it possible or not?

Not without a whole lot of fabrication. If you want to use the S2000 front knuckle then you will have to swap in the whole front suspension and steering rack, and fabricate the pickup points for the suspension, since it is an in-wheel double wishbone design compared to the MacPherson strut on the S13. With some machining you might be able to get the S2000 hubs to press into the S13 knuckle and then fit the S2000 rotor and caliper, but the lines will be wrong and everything will be just all wrong.

Not worth it considering how cheap S14 and S15 5 stud conversions are. So it is possible but not worth the effort, just buy an S2000 and get the benefit of a well designed double wishbone suspension without all the headaches.
