had a cross threaded wheel nut on my r32 GTST today (many thanks to previous owner) and basically destroyed my stud. can i replace the stud or will i have to buy a whole new rear hub? i have a set of 300zx rear hubs laying around, will my axles fit those?

Just drive the stud out with a hammer and buy a new one. To seat it put it throught the hub as far as it will go and put a washer around then thread a lug onto it pull it through by tightenting the lug with a ratchet not a 4-way or you'll bust it. once it is pulled all the way through put the wheel back on and drive the car for about 15 minutes stop and tighten all the lugs on that wheel again, repeat until the lug on the stud you placed is tight. Easy day, these things break all the time.
