If I had a turbo z31 to take the rear arms off of, I wouldn't be fucking around with an s12.

That said, I had a kid near me grip some from a junkyard, now I feel he's trying to gouge me.

He has the Axle Flange, Control Arm, and Axle Shaft all assembled with all the misc parts and shit from a Kouki Z31 with the vented rear calipers. If I drop loot on 5-lug shit for the rear, I want vented calipers. He claims the "turbo axle stubs" are worth a fuckton of money to z31 kids because they hold more power.

1) what the fuck is he talking about
2) is this part actually worth loot
3) can I do the 5-lug swap without this part and still run the vented calipers control arms etc?
4) is this junkyard 80's nissan garbage worth $300

or, so I can figure it myself and deal with the kid on my own,

what is the bare minimum of parts I need to do the 5-lug swap with vented calipers? If I grip the 5 lug stubs and kouki control arms, can I get a new wheel bearing, disassemble all the shit, and put it back together with my s12 axles etc and just the 5-lug stubs, or do I need to get the axle flanges as well? If I need the axle flanges, do I need to swap to a different CV axle as well?

The car is a 1985 SE Turbo, just to be clear.

S14 booster, brake master, and clutch master fitted

I don't think I have room to plug the fluid level sensor in.
