Rear Right Brake Backing Plate/Dust Shield - 1991 300ZX Z32

When scavenging Nissan Z32 chassis at the junkyard, target 1990-1996 300ZX models regardless of engine variant—the rear backing plate 44020-30P00 (right side) interchanges between naturally aspirated VG30DE and twin-turbo VG30DETT models. Inspect the stamped steel 44020-30P00 for cracks at the mounting ear bends and severe corrosion around the ABS sensor hole if equipped. Installation requires removing the caliper bracket and rotor; the shield bolts directly to the knuckle behind the hub assembly. Common failures include deformation from pry bars during brake service, rust-through in northern climates, and damage from failed wheel bearings. If the plate contacts the rotor, check for bent mounting tabs or improper axle nut torque. The left side counterpart 44021-30P00 is a mirror image—do not interchange sides. Early 1990-1993 and late 1994-1996 models share this component, though verify absence of the rear steering HICAS bracket provisions if converting between trim levels. Always match turbo and non-turbo variants for exact sensor clearances.
