Front 300zx brake calipers hitting rotor!

[s3teen]

300zx caliper and rotors in front. I have the stock spindle (thing hub and caliper bolts to). Is there some sort of conversion thing I would need? Also, do I absolutely need the 300zx bmc? Greatly appriciated!!!

The back bolts that connect the caliber into the spindle, did you use 300zx or 240sx bolts?

Post up pics

[s3teen]

sorry no pics. The rotor is too big! it won't even allow the caliper bolts to bolt on. Also there is not enought space in between the rotor and spindle thing for the caliper to fit in between.

[s3teen]

240sx or 300zx bolts won't work. they both hit the rotor. It's like I need some spacers.

Dude what kind of rotors do you have? I have these brakes on my car, and everything fits fine. Did you compress the pistons?

[s3teen]

yes pistons are compressed. I am clearing the rotors that way. It's the very outside of the rotor that is hitting the inside of the caliper. Its because I am using s13 spindle. Could that be the cause of this? Was I supose to use 300zx spindle.

you either have the wrong rotors or your trying to put the later model rotor 30mm into the earlier narrow Z caliper 26MM??? eithere way you have the wrong rotor or are doing something way wrong.

if your calipers are alluminum and from a 90 its possible there the narrow ones if there steel you have the wrong rotors for shure

yeah iv run into this problem a couple times. 30mm rotors on 26mm calipers.

i had a buddy put drilled 30mm brembos on. understandbly he dident want to take them off so he just had them turned down to about 28mm. surprisingly it worked.
