see if you guys can figure this one out. I did the 300zx brake swap along with the master cylinder swap about a few months ago, on my s14 without abs. just did a alighnment and the car pulls to the right, and when i brake it really pulls to the right. what do you guys think it might be, i am betting on a warped rotor.

sounds more like a sticky caliper....you'd proble hear a warped rotor.

yah what shape were the calipers in before u put them on? i think i need to rebuild mine soon as one of mine is starting to pull.

you wouldn't so much hear a warped rotor as you will feel it in the brake pedal. A rebuild kit is fairly cheap from your local dealership but be carful not to damage the piston or ir will never seal again. That is a major pisser, trust me on that one!!

I had a similar problem with my z32/s15 brake swap, it turned out to be my front crossmember had gotten/become one its hole on the right side oblong (oval shaped) and we had to weld a set of washers onto the crossmember to make it truely circular again.

The effect was when i'd brake the wheel would veer a little to the right, i never noticed it because the stock calipers were so weak.
