What I'm doing with my rear Z brakes & question for Joo!

Before & after pics.



In this last pic is my question. These hubs are non-turbo Z hubs from a 91', and the back plates are from a 90'. Can i just trim the base of the hub so it will clear the anchor bolt?

Thanks!K

I don't see why not, I would anyway.

Ask 94_240sx, he knows this conversion front and back and told me alot about the anchor bolts.

hmm, i thought 1990 and 1991 300z have the same brake componets, turbo or non.

Yes, you can cut it. There's no gap here, right? On the anchor bolt, I can see the hole on the left side. It looks like you got the correct anchor bolt, so you can just cut the lips on the hubs and install.

There are 2 different anchor bolts out there. If you have a thin one, you will have a gap. As far as I know, only z32s from 1990 came with thicker anchor bolts. Man, everyone's got the right anchor bolts but me...

Did you use brake cleaner to clean them up??? All the hardwares look like new.

Here's the difference.



Mine was not from 90 z32 obviously.

One more thing. DO NOT throw those lips away after you cut them. Someone with thinner anchor bolts can use them. Those lips can be trimmed and JB Welded to the dust shield and thinner anchor bolts will work with them just fine.

Another solution is I have a pair of thinner anchor bolts, and you can get them from me. Actually, that's the right way and cleaner way for your application. Just do whatever that's convenient for you.

Guys, thanks for all your replies! Actually, I like the sound of of using the correct anchorbolts for my application. How much shipped to 77379?

[94_240sx]

How about $30 shipped? I paid $40 shipped for thick anchor bolts, so I'll knock off $10 for you. They can go out tomorrow morning around 11AM and tracking number will be emailed right after.

I love seeing questions answered properly, thanks 94!

[94_240sx]

Oh, well $25...

[Dammitboy]

Hmmm, let me think about this. On one hand your parts are the way to go, but my practical side tells me to cut dem' bishes off!
