i know some guys on here do 5 lug swaps. i inquired about the one listed in the classifieds, but never got a response. not to mention i realized its from canada eh and i dont want to pay a left testicle for shipping. i just need the stuff to do the front of a nissan over to a 5 lug toyota. would be nice if i could keep the nissan drop spindle...

i dont have a nissan but my understanding is its pretty easy, i know bio kustumz can do it. i just did a mighty max with the help of bio kustumz. i used tacoma hubs and rotors, with the mitsu spindles. my understanding is that toyota hubs and rotors will work on a nissan with the nissan spindles. good luck

you should also get a toyota rear end from a junkyard!

Tony as I've been told the Nissan can be converted over using a hub seal which I have butn for some reason I can't remember the number right now. I have also heard that the caliper will have to be spaced some off the spindle. I would check out nissancustoms.com or further in the forums here cuz I'm sure it's listed.

Mine was done by Autoextremes in GA and I pretty sure they used Toyota hubs and rotors with my Nissan drop spindles. And I've got a Toyota rearend. They still have it but it seems to have worked.

It is a Federal Mogul seal and the # is 710175. I would definitely get the spindles machined to prevent the wear too.

I do 5lug conversions. Also guy using that seal on a nissan spindle is VERY DANGERIOUS! I have seen spindles broke due to people using that seal! By doing that it will not let the bearings seat and will wear a grove in the spindles causing them to break over time. I can machine the spindles to accept a toyota hub/rotor correctly for $115 shipped. I can also do the rear if needed for $200+shipping but I recommend using a toyota rear end since it is narrower and will help on rim selection for tucking. Shoot me an email if I can be of assistance. Tony I am about 3hrs south of you so shipping would not be as bad to redrill the rear if needed......John

All I know is what I'm told. Haven't done mine so I can't speak from experience on it.

Just emailed you back regarding the nissan hubs in the classifieds.

mine is done using the seal.. has seen 3-4 owners since it was done and i've put 1500 miles on the truck myself and no groove, no abnormal wear, NOTHING out of the ordinary.
this whole machining the spindle thing has just started popping up when people have been doing this swap for 8-9 years with no wide spread problems.
