A reply to all in response to a PM I got a good 15 seconds after I posted it was easy.

Thanks

Its not at all.

I used the S14 5H Hubs in the back. it basically comes down to taking off the Caliper, The Axle Bolt (36mm), and the 4 bolts holding the hub to the rear Upright.

In the front I'll be using an S14 Spindle... the hardest part of that should be getting the ball joints off and on. I havent decided if I'll have S14 ball Joints pressed in to S13 LCAs or just use the S14 LCA for a wider track.

Parts Needed
-S14 Rear Hubs
-S14 5H Rear Rotors (or 300ZX or whatever)
-S14 Front Spindle and Hub
-S14 Strut to Spindle Bolts
-S14 LCA Ball Joint
-S14 front brake rotors

it could be costly if you buy everything new but Im gonna be around 400$ when Im done buying stuff.

I havent gotten to the front yet but it seems just as easy. The Rear was very self explanitory once the wheel came off.

Well the front is either complicated and cheap or easy and expensive, if you have money, just get the Attain or GTO or whatever 5 lug hubs.

im going with the GTO...i've talked to a few people that have 5 lugs around me and they say go that way cuz its easier and most of them come with new wheels bearings...
