Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the old caliper and proper alignment with the brake rotor. Since mounting brackets and brake pads are not included, ensure compatible pads and brackets are sourced separately. The included abutment clips and bleeder screw facilitate proper assembly and brake bleeding. Use the M10x1.0 thread size for inlet and bleeder screw connections to match OEM brake lines and tools. Verify piston bore size and caliper fitment with the Nissan 300ZX specifications before installation.
