So i got some z32. 30Mm. Calipers for my s14.
I bought some 30mm rotors from autozone. And for some reason the rotors hit
The inside of the calipers... dont know what to do, i thpught it was a direct fitment.
When off the car the rotors fit into the calipers just fine.
It only begins to rub where the rotor sits in between the caliper when i tighten the caliperbolts .
And i even measured both caliper and rotor. Both 30mm with some change

you might want to post pics of the calipers. you might have ended up with some of the non-30mm ones. the interior should have about 2mm of clearance with the rotor if I remember correctly.

I measured where.the rotor is supposed to sit in the caliper and it measures out to 30.1?mm
i had to make them fit on the car. With some modifications. .
Ill post some pics tomorrow. This phone doesn't let me lol
.And im pretty sure the 26mm calipers measure 26.?? Not close to 30mm i would think...

26mm z32 brakes
rotors measure at 26mm, but the calipers
are actually 30mm.
sounds like you might have 26mm calipers.

Or the genius at Vatozone gave him rotors other than what is actually needed... Other than conversion lines & trimming or getting rid of the dust shields, no modifications should be needed.
