Z32 brakes on S13 question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

When bolting the Z32 front calipers to an S13 front spindle, which bolts do you use? The Z32 bolts or the bolts that used to hold the S13 caliper bracket to the spindle? I just picked up some Z brakes but a couple bolts are missing.

Thanks.

You use the s13 bolts. The z32 bolts are to long and when tight they hit the rotor.

Huh, that's funny, when I did my q45 brake swap I used the s13 bolts because the calipers didn't come with bolts, and they hit the rotors. Didn't realize it til I tried to pull out of the garage for the first time.. lol.

In the end I just doubled up the washers and it was fine.
