Daphur280 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 So I've ordered a set of the Maxima caliper brackets for my '73 Z, installed them and when I had everything mocked up (minus pads) I noticed the caliper sits about an inch to 1.5" from the rotor, I thought maybe either I have a bad set of brackets or the rotor is to small? I'm not sure here's a photo: I'm gonna get ahold of the guy who machines these but in the meantime any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rags Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 looks like the rotor is the wrong diameter. The ones look have appear to be too small. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe When I ordered this rotor, they said it was for a canadian model this was the only 300zx 4 lug rotor that was available in 3 states, are the canadian z31's known for having smaller rotors?

I've always used the non-Canadian version. I think that's your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphur280 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I've always used the non-Canadian version. I think that's your issue. I'm leaning that way too, I just have to figure out how I'm gonna find new rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaito Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think you need 11.4 inch rotors for those. I was told use an 84 n/a 300zx rear rotor but it migh need turned down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
