S13 front caliper rubbing rotor - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi I have a 92 s13 with stock brakes all around. Just recently I heard a scraping noise coming from the passenger front brakes. When I went to check it out. I found out that the caliper was missing a bolt causing it to run against the rotor making a ring around the top of the rotor. I replaced it with new bolts and pins, torqued everything and it's still rubbing! It was happening intermittently now it seemed to have gotten worse.
-new caliper bolts and pins
-pads are like new
-rotors never been replaced but doesn't look warped
-checked wheel bearing play. Has little to no play
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. I'll post pics later

Anyone? I swapped rotors with the driver side but it's still happening on the passenger side.
