5x114 (bolt pattern) rear axle swap info.

[Oneeye]

Seeing whos out there that has done either axle shaft swap or whole rear axle swap from an S10 or Ranger. the more information on the subject would be much appreciated thanks guys.

[datzenmike]

Into... what?

 

Axles only fit what they came out of, an S10 or Ranger. Is this for a truck? Why, what wrong with the H-190 you have.

Seems like a Toyota axle would be a better swap? Probably closer in width anyway...

[datzenmike]

And 6 bolt too.

[datsunfreak]

And 6 bolt too.

 

Actually no. Toyotas are 5 lug.   ^_^

[datsunfreak]

Also, Ranger is 5x114.3 (like the Toyota), but the S-10 is not. 

[datzenmike]

Maybe the Toyota 4x4 was the only truck that had them. I have an old early '80s Toy rear axle in the back yard... they are the same 6 bolt pattern as Nissan trucks.

Not older 4x4, they are 6

The 330 & 430 Cedric & Gloria sedans had 5-lug,114 H190/29 spline axles.

I see them in Japan every once in a while.

Never grabbed a set because I still haven't found 5 lug front hubs that will fit a 620.

 

[datzenmike]

I think Toy 5 bolt fronts will fit the 720 front by changing the bearing. I remember a discussion on a 720 forum but had to be ten or more years ago. This would naturally be on a truck that was already disc brake.

 

I see no use to going 5 lug when there are plenty of 6 bolt rim choices out there.

Typical Mike answer.

 

 

Because there are soooooo many more 5 lug options for wheels.

 

And, really, there are not a lot of options for classic 6 lug wheels. Unless you want to spend JDM money. Or overpay for vintage, BRITTLE aluminum.

This.

 

 

Going 5 lug on a Datsun truck makes all the sense in the world. 

 

Hell, on my 620KC I was trying to work out how to make it 4 lug...   :rofl:

[datsunfreak]

Not older 4x4, they are 6

 

Yes, and 4x4s are a lot more common than 2x4s.

[flatcat19]

Lowe's has all the 2x4s you could ever need.

And since I have a truck...

[heywier427]

I had to buy these to put my truck on my dyno!

 

 

 

 

 

Holy huge picture batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[datzenmike]

 Dodge Ram 50, Chev, Ford, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Trooper, Jeep, Mazda, then all the later Nissan 720/D21/WD22, Xterrea, Frontier, Titan, ...   There are more I can't remember, but how many years of different Chevy's were there, and with optional aluminum rims in 14, 15 16.5 ??  So, if you care to look, there are plenty of options not requiring you to convert to 5 lug.

[flatcat19]

:yawn:

[datzenmike]

Wake up!

[flatcat19]

Stop being boring and stock.

[flatcat19]

God forbid you ever tell anybody to throw a set of Wats on their car. Or slam that fucker on its nuts. Or just let someone blunder by buying a crappy short tube header.

 

 

Lol.

[Dolomite]

Or coilovers, or camber plates, or weber dgv, or...

[captain720]

Well we can live without camber plates.

[datzenmike]

I have camber plates because not using boring stock struts and brakes.

[Oneeye]

I ended up going with toyota hubs in the front and s10 rear axle with adapters for 5x114 in the rear
