Torque specs on Z32 caliper bolts??

[Heartwork]

can someone tell me the correct torque specs for the 1991 TT z32 30mm Aluminum Caliper bolts?

thanks...

Maybe I'm wierd but I've never used a torque wrench on brake caliper bolts. Since the caliper is Aluminum I understand your concern, but I wouldn't worry about tightening them pretty tight. I don't know the specs, but typed in z32 caliper torque specs in google and this is what I found http://www.cautioncreativity.com/briand/Q45%20Brake.htm it says 75ft/lbs. It's the Q45 upgrade, but whatever.

i forgot to note that i needed the torque specs on the bolts holding the calipers itself, not the bolt that bolts to the knuckle...

So you're talking about the bolts that hold the caliper halves together? Apparently those specs aren't published, the 300ZX FSM doesn't describe how to disassemble/rebuild the caliper body. There's a thread on FreshAlloy in the 240SX Advanced forum that's mentioned this in the last week or so (sorry, not gonna stick a link in here, I'm at home on slow-azz dialup). Folks in that thread have mentioned 40-45 lb/ft as a good value to use.

Tight is tight, too tight is broken. :p
