Hi fellas just saying a quick hello and thanks for having me here.

I have a 04 5 speed Elantra hatch that I am working on to get her up to a better condition than she is now.

She only has 111 thousand K's on the clock and just replaced a cracked radiator gave it an oil change, coolant, spark plugs and air filter to day
tommorw will be inspecting the brakes.

Anyway Hello

Oh and one question that I admit I havent researched is can you replace the 4 stud wheel patern to 5 stud? it seems there are more wheel types available for 5 stud here in AUS. cheers

Thanks Boss great to be here, plenty of good info to be read as well, It seems that the Australian version has dash limitations as far as
(2004 Elantra) double din mounts go which is a real bugger but will try and figure out a solution. Cheers

Hello and welcome!

Yep plenty of info here to be had and a few members down under as well. I guess the issue with finding double DIN there would relate to right hand drive?

Cheers popeye and yes your right on the money there but I have discovered "if I can change fascias to a 00-01 model I might be able to do it.

Has anyone done or know if it is possible to go from a 4 stud hub to a 5 stud hub on a XD.

No kits just a hub swap is what I was looking at.

Yes several people have done the swap. Swap the spindle from a GK aTiburon.

Thanks BRC that helps, is there any other mods required apart from hub and brake rotor?

Or will it just bolt on, i am having a problem finding the info I need. I want to update from steel stockies to mags but the choice
is limited here unless I pay a fortune so was thinking go 5 stud which opens up a whole lot of options. Cheers

Thanks mate that gives me some Idea of what to look for. Cheers

After a lot of research I can do all new 4 hubs and bearings, new rotors and pads with secondhand front calipers for
AU $975. Parts only not inculding pressing.

Hmmm Maybe.

Do you have any self serve junk yards down there with GK Tibs? around here it would cost around $300 usd for all 4 spindles, with calipers.
Every once in awhile Tiburon parts cars pop up on craigslist for around $500-$800, take what you want/need sell/scrap the rest.

They a few and far between here unfortunatly I got a quote for full spindle hubs rotors and calipers from one wrecking yard and they wanted $225 for each side, then still needed rear end parts so would have been close to
the price I qouted for all new parts.
