wierd z32 brake problem
I am having some trouble with my 300zx front brakes. the rotor is scraping on the inside of the caliper. almost as if i'm missing a spacer or something. how do i tell what kind of calipers i have? 30 or 26mm? if i have the wrong rotor that will cause scraping/rubbing problems right? what's wierd is i drove on these b4 and when i put them on a different s13 they were off. i took pics but they're not that great.

it appears that you have the 30MM rotors with a 26MM caliper. I went through the same thing with mine when autozone ordered 2 different calipers. Once scraped the other one didn't. After looking up part #'s I came to the conclusion that they sold me (1) 26MM and (1) 30MM caliper. Either get bigger calipers or smaller rotors.

yes my 30MM rotors scraped at the same place with the 26MM calipers. I replaced the caliper and the scraping went away. Visually I believe the calipers are the same, except you can tell the difference between the iron and the aluminum ones.
Heres a site with A LOT of info on it, and it will tell you which years, which calipers came in 26MM, 30MM, aluminum and iron. http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm |
