This may have been coverd, but: Are the rotor sizes the same accross all z32s? I know the 90 likes to be unique. Heres a link to the ones I was looking at.
Just saw them, asking what u all think

90's are smaller....

after that they increases the rotor size some i believe cause the braking was underpowered on these cars.. and even with the upgrade they were still under powered. but if your adding after market ones shouldnt matter.. just gotta make sure youll have wheel clearence for the calipers

You might re-read post #12. You might try finding the manufacturing date on your car. There's a sticker, maybe on the inside lid of the center console storage area or one on the radiator support. It will show the manufacture date of your car. It has to be 07/90 or later for those rotorz to work. Even then, someone could have already put the larger calipers and rotorz in your car. There's no way to be sure without measuring the rotorz that you have now.

Or, you can assume, and hopefully get lucky.

I'll get you the minimum machining specs for the rotors tomorrow in case they aren't on the rotor. Also I saw a TSB from Nissan about intake cam sprockets making a clicking noise I'll try to get you so more info.

The minimum machining specs for the front rotors on a 1990 are .945 inches and 1991 are 1.102 inches the rears for both years are .630 inches.
The TSB (technical service bulletien) number for the intake cam sprocket tapping is 92016 if you go to your local dealer they can print it for you. It will tell you what to look for, what cars it applies to, the parts you need to fix the problem and basically how to do it.

I've been in denial. lol.
The Z has an appointment with a local mecahnic with a penchant for Zs. Hes a great guy and so far (hes been doing work for my family for years) a great mechanic. Sadly, the appointment isn't until the 27th. I'm going to go out and rerun the speaker wire to eliminate that goddamned whine. I got sixteen guage Monster, like 50 ft for 18.00 Any tricks anyone wanna clue me in on? For instance, is there a trick to wiring into the door (ie through that little sleeve that holds al the wires that go into the door)?
TIA
Ezra
Sorry for the abscence, denial...
