Does anyone knows if the 300zx brake calipers will fit inside the S14 16inch stock rims? (The five thick spokes one) Peter ---

With the S14 stock rim it will work, might need spacers if you use the 300ZX rims though. Weird isn’t it. ---

Will the 300zx brake upgrade work for the stock 15" 7 spoke on the s13’s? 30mm disc as well… if not, what’s the minimum internal dimension for the rim is required ? ---

Nope the rim is mounted to the hub so there is no chance of things moving there. The minimum spacer you will need to fit the Z32 Calipers on 7 Spoke S13 rims is 1/4" or 5mm. You will also need longer wheel studs to accommodate the spacers. If you don’t want spacers you can always shave off the Nissan Logo on the front of the Caliper with a grinder. ---

Sorry to contradict you Phil, but the 26mm calipers will fit under the right style 7 spoke rims without a spacer. This is what I run on my race car. The right style 7 spoke rims (yes there are two styles at least) have one re-enforcment per spoke, it’s right down the center and follows the contour of the spoke. 30mm calipers do require a minimal spacer though. -Martin. ---

> [@philip\_240sx](#): > > [quote=SHIFT\_SR20DET]Do 1992 300zx 5 bolt rims clear the 300sx brakes on an S14? This combo is identical to the Z32 setup… Z32 calipers, rotors & wheels. Clearance isn’t an issue.[/quote] I figured that much but I remember reading somewhere Julian having a clearance Issue on his S14 with the Z32 wheels.
