So my question(s): How hard is it to convert to a 5 lug?
Does anyone have a nice but reasonably priced idea?

Converting to 5 Lug is easy, but you don't have to. If your car is 4 lug, then take the 5 lug rotors to a competent machine shop and have them drill a 4 lug pattern in them. Come to think of it, a lot of Z32 Rotors actually come with 4 and 5 lug patterns drilled in them already.
To convert to 5-lug you just need new hubs front and rear, and the appropriate brake rotors to go with your calipers. If you want to go 5-Lug on the cheap, then you can use all S14 Stuff but you need the steering knuckle with Hub, Lower Control arm, spacers to adapt the S14 Knuckle to the S13 Strut/Coilover, S14 (Or Z32) Rear Hubs, and S14 Rotors. There are also conversion hubs out there as well that work with the S13 knuckle, but the quality of the bearings of some brands aren't the greatest.
