300zx front brake swap question/issue

[pepe123]

ok heres the set up

s13 knuckles
s14 5 lug hubs
30mm 300zx calipers
300zx rotors 30 mm

for some reason i looks like i need a spacers where the caliper mounts to the knuckles, as if the knuckles to far back. if i mount the calipers like this the pull the rotor toward the mounting points, and lock up the rotor so it wont spin. im thinkk i could just run some spacers and it would work but idk why im having this issue

run a washer on the caliper bolts. i had to do the same.

/fixed.

Ur spacin is off becouse ur using s13 hubs on s13 knuckles ye bearing surface is diffrent s13 is s13 only for the conversion hubs

U said ur using s14 hubs with s13 knuckles the s14 hubs and bearings do not match s13 u will screw stuff up

[eek]

IIRC the stock z32 caliper bolts should come with washers on the bolts. If not you can can put a lock washer on each bolt when mounting the caliper to the ears. Hopefully that will space it out enough for it to work.
