300zx brake swap issue, bolts too long

Hello guys,

I'm having a problem that I haven't heard about in various 300zx brake swap threads. I also searched and couldn't find anything on the issue.

CAR: 97' 240SX AUTO

Bought 300zx 30mm aluminum calipers that came with slotted rotors and the caliper bolts. Using the supplied caliper bolts with washer, the bolt threads through the entire caliper and comes out the back and hits the backside of the rotor.

I then tried using my stock caliper bolts which are shorter than the supplied bolts but they still are too long and I run into the same issue.

Only thing I noticed now away from the car is I put the caliper on with the bleeder screw facing down and read its supposed to be up. Even though I mounted the caliper on the wrong side I still see myself running into the same issue.

Seems my only option is to cut the bolt down for clearance but having never heard of this problem I want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

Any ideas please let me know. She's my DD and I'm screwed until I can get the brakes working.

Thanks!
