Hi everyone

I am planning to change out the rotor & pads but I don't know the bolt torque specs for the rear calipers

I know the front brakes are identical to the ones used in 350Z track edition, but I could not find the torque specs for the rear anywhere (to my knowledge, there is no full FSM for R33 GT-R, only the engine manual, in english at least)

Oh and this is my first post on this forum, I just got a R33 GT-R as my first car! they just became legal last year due to a 15 year old import law

Thanks in advance

Hey Albert,

Have you looked at the 300ZX online manual, probably would be the same.

it can be found here: http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi

If I read it correctly it says 98-118Nm for the front, couldn't figure out what it is for the back but they are the same size bolt on skylines, both bolting into alloy calipers so the torque should be about the same.

Somebody else might have a more definitive answer for you but I have never seen a brake service mechanic here in OZ use a torque wrench when refitting calipers.

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob

Thanks for the quick reply

According to the 350z FSM, the front 2 bolts are 152.1 - 154.9 Nm and the flare nut is 14.8 - 17.6, I think I will go with these as they are the exact same brembos

I'll use the link you gave me as a last resort for the rear torque specs but it'd be reassuring to know the exact toque specs as the rotor size (300zx: 294.64 x 18, GT-R: 300 x 22) and the caliper brand & size (not sure about 300zx but GT-R: 40mm diameter, since the rotor is different size the calipers should be different too I think)

But in the end, as long as it's on there real tight, it shouldn't matter TOO much right?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
