Please read z brakes

[98240]

Ok i got new brembo rotors and the only way i could get the z brakes on was to take the shims off the back of the brake pads well when i did that the calipers fit right over the rotors. But then when i got everything mounted on i noticed that the bolt that attaches the caliper to the car was hitting the rotor not only that but the rotor was also hitting the side of the caliper how can i fix this? Is the rotor the wrong size i have the 30mm 91 z calipers and i got the rotors from nopi I really need some help on this.

the rotors are brembo blanks

[Dano]

Are you sure they're rotors for a '91 Z and 30mm?

No Bolts should be near the rotor face... can u get pics?

Can't really help u until I have more info...

^ yeah, the caliper bolts shouldnt be near the rotor. Are you using the stick 240sx bolts??

[KFL]

what does the rotor have written on it..should max # ( mm resurface)Are you sure that you have 30mm calipers, if you had 26mm caliper+30mm rotors then that would have the bolts hitting the rotor.

yes i am almost positive i have the 30mm calipers. I measured them today and it was about 1 3/8inch the rotor says #28mm The rotors are about the same size in width they are about 1 3/8inch i dont know what is going on here but i will take pics today and post them up

[98240]

is that how tight the calipers are suppose to fit in the 30mm rotorsif that pic isnt showing then here is a link to the pic

that looks way too close. The rotor shouldnt touch the body of the caliper. That looks like 30mm rotors in a 26mm caliper...

[SPIRONIUM]

you MUST use 240sx caliper bolts to bolt on the Z calipers, the z bolts are different and will touch the rotor when bolted on the 240sx knuckle

i am using the stock 240 bolts i ended up using a 26mm rotor and it seemed to fit alot better autozone goofed up on my order

You should have noticed something when you measured the rotor.

1 3/8 in. is about 35mm. None of the z32 rotors were that thick.

should there be about 2-3mm on each side of the caliper body from the rotor does that sound righti remeasuredi wrote the wrong size for the rotor it is actually ~1 3/16so that explains everything
