so i finally got my 4 piston calipers from some guy in Chicago.. they came off a 92 N/A... I showed them to my Home boy and he said that i got the "Lame" calipers.. that there are 26mm *mine* and that there are 30MM *best ones*..
is there really a difference? or is it all just the same?

... I need a smilie of a head repeatedly hitting a brick wall ...
But this will do for now:
Did you click on ANY of those links I posted?
Did you do ANY other research before splurging on calipers?
Have you heard of the marvelous website search engine called GOOGLE?
You should be fine w/ the 26mm calipers, but you will need to use the appropriate rotors to match it:
PLEASE CLICK ON THIS: http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm
(Are you sure they came from a 92 na?)

The following is a comparison of some different Z32 300ZX brake calipers.
The "26mm Aluminum" calipers were used ONLY on 1990 non-turbos. They used a 280mm x 26mm rotor.
The "30mm Aluminum" calipers were used on 1990 Twin-turbos and ALL 1991-1992.5 300ZX's (both turbo and non-turbo alike). They used a 280mm x 30mm rotor.
The "30mm Iron" calipers were used on ALL 1992.5-1996 300ZX's (both turbo and non-turbo alike). They also used the 280mm x 30mm rotor.
Of course, the easiest way to tell aluminum from iron is to use a magnet, but I hope this helps some people trying to figure out what they've got/are getting if buying with just a picture for info.

Don't buy the 90-96 rear calipers because they will not work without extensive modification.
You MUST buy a set of 87-89 turbo hubs and rotors to make the Z32 calipers work.
