Default Z31 rear setup brakes problem

So I bought a Z31 setup a while back from northerner I think. Offered up the calipers that I refurbed and the whole setup doesn't seem to fit into the caliper

Any ideas? are the rear brakes different on Z31s? Calipers was would all the way back and still wouldn't fit.

I'm note sure mate I do have another set of calipers but I dont remember seeing any difference. Or maybe I just overlooked it

I'll have a look when I get a chance bud thanks for pointing that out.

You were right bud, the carriers are larger by around 10mm. Just cleaned them up and going to rebuild them today
