Just a quick post to point some things out I found in my Z32 Swap (30mm Aluminum Calipers, OEM Z32 Rotors, Z32 SS Lines).
1. Early z31 dust shield won't work with the later model hubs
Maybe something was said about this and I probably missed it but the inner dia of the brake dust shields are to small for the later model hubs to work. You can bore this out or remove them, otherwise your bearings won't seat properly and you wouldnt want to drive it like this.
2. I used about .2" of washers to center my caliper on my 84AE (Using 16" OEM wheels) and OMG no clearance issues. I can fit my finger between the caliper and the wheel and spin it around and it will just graze my finger. I was very suprised considering some of the clearance issues and possible grinding on some accounts.
3. Using stock master cylinder and I have to say I was worried based off some post about the pedal softening up however the pedal feels great. Just a hair softer however the improvment in overall performance is noticeable. Especially after bedding in the pads. I was running z31 SS lines before, and am using Z32 front ss lines now w/ no issues.
