Hi Guys,


I’m in the early stages of Importing a 2007 – 2008 370GT Coup



I honestly cannot find anything regarding my query, nothing substantially evident anyway.



I just want to know does both the late model 2007 & 2009 model S and SP have the same 4-piston front brakes and 2 piston rears?


Or… Does the:


P. sliding 1-piston


S. 2-piston


SP 4- Piston



I don’t usually ask these kind of questions but I have Googled, Wiki’d and downloaded the Workshop Manual…


Thank you in advance,

Having been seriously corrected on this with the sedans, I have also read up on this...

With the coupes, it is much easier, the S and SP have the 370z BBK with 4 piston in the front, 2 piston on the rear and 355mm front discs.

Found out for certain today... V36 sedans.

350gt S and SP single piston front and rear 330mm front discs.

370gt S and SP 2 piston front single piston rear and 320mm front discs.

Plus I am pretty sure that any brakes could be optioned on any model, so it pays to check auction photos.

The other thing is though, there are a few sets of BBK and Brembos floating around fs for cheaper than ever prices - so if you find a car at the price and spec you want, buy it, and put BBK/Brembos on it when it gets here (like I did).

Also, I guess if there sliding calipers there definetly not going to be 4 pistons, right? I think I got my self confused over reading. Because most sites state in 09 the S & SP coupes brakes where "upgraded" to 4 piston front and 2 back. They most certainly look like there 20x quicker to change pads..

You cannot miss the 4 piston set ups... The calipers are huge and standard on the S and SP 370GT. Big silver things...

This is the eBrochure for the V36 coupe and shows that "four-wheel aluminium caliper opposed piston brake" was standard on the S and SP, but not the P and the base 370GT coupe, from October 07.

It's not a vastly different process to change pads timewise. Depending on how worn the discs are of course. Often you need to take the whole caliper off to spread the pistons open to accommodate the new thicker pads, which is actually a more time consuming process than removing the slide brake setups.

Not according to the G35 sedan 2008 Service manual...

V36 G35 BR.pdf

BR-63 is showing that there are 2 brake options on the sedan.

330mm front discs with single piston sliding caliper

and 320mm front discs with dual piston sliding calipers.

This means if you have the dual piston calipers on your car, then maybe you are running the same 320mm discs as the 370z!! That would be a bit of good news for you. :cheers:

I wonder if these are the same as the Series 2/3 V35 front rotors? they are also twin piston 320mm. Which are the same as the 05+ 350z brakes.

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
