WTB R31 Turbo Skyline Hubs

I have brought a set of 100mm struts but unfortunately these came without hubs discs or calipers.

This makes them very hard to use as they are so i need to find some hubs.

I have 2 Sets of calipers 1 from a 5Stud Z31 and 1 pair from a Y31 (they look almost identical so im pretty sure they will be the same as the R31 turbo as well).

Discs im happy to just buy new ones so im really just after hubs.

These must be from the struts that have 100mm bolt spacings so if anyone out there has done a 5 stud conversion and has some hubs they don't want let me know.

Ive joined up to skylines down under but i need to make 10 posts before i can start a thread in the "wanted to buy" section and i can't think of anything useful to say on that site. So until then you guys are my only hope.

I've got my mate searching his garage for the ones that came off them, he thinks he saw some in there but can't remember what they were.

This is unrelated but I saw you were asking that dude on Trademe about viscous LSDs, I wouldn't bother with one, I got my KAAZ clutch one done for under $600 and you can use your standard axles.

Just an option, pretty sure you can buy new Z31 5 stud hubs from the US for not a great deal.

Already have 5 stud Z31 hubs discs calipers etc, but don't want to use them at this stage. Long story but it might happen later down the track.

Yea i was only asking him questions on there because his explanation was a little vague and i could see someone maybe forking out heaps money for something that wasn't a straight bolt in job.
I have no plans of going that route. I already have a Longnose R200 with HLSD in my car now as well as a R200 with a VLSD etc. (shortened axels CV 3X2 joints both ends) John made the axels and made a fantastic job is anyone else wanted the same conversion.

That would be great if you did come up with those hubs. Im in no huge rush so let me know if you do track them down.

Thanks
Brett

Yea mate i have found some genuine Turbo front hubs just paid $130inc postage about 2mins ago.

Im thinking the Z31 hubs most likely would have worked though as i was looking for some of thoes when i stumbled apon the R31 hubs, Just got lucky i guess atleast i'll have complete stuts now.

Thanks for letting me know though,
