Good point. You know what? I think they'll work. I know it because my z32 calipers didn't come with the bolts, so I must have reused ones from my s13.

They will work.

The only differenc I noticed was the Z bolts were just a hair longer. Maybe the amount of space of an extra thread.

When swapping pads without removing the caliper I picked up a cheap C clamp, and had an old brake pad welded onto the end. I simply remove the worn out pads, install my modified C clamp and proceed to tighten the screw. Doing the inside pad is a bit more annoying, but still rather easy.

If the caliper will still not go over the rotor, you may (obviously) have the wrong size caliper.

Hope you got the aluminum calipers and not the iron ones.
