Hey guys, just got my Dba 5000 rotors in and I'm wondering if I should replace the rotors and pads on my own or just give it to my mechanic? Don't know how involved it is on the G37s and how long it generally takes?

 

Take it to a mechanic. Watch and learn. Then do it by yourself the next time.

 

My dad and I have done brake and rotors jobs before on other cars but I just didn't know if the g37 sport bbk was anything special. Also do i have to change the brake fluid/Brake bleed the system if I only have 26k miles?

 

I have made videos that show how to replace both the fronts and the rears. Buy the right tools, follow the videos, you can't go wrong unless you use pads that are incompatible with the rotor you choose.

Just be sure to properly bed-in the pads.

 

Best advice, assuming your mechanic will let you.

 

Shouldn't need to change the brake fluid w/ only 26K miles.

You only need to bleed the system if you allow air into it; changing pads &/or rotors won't cause that to happen.

 

What have you been smoking rmnfla? You should bleed your brakes at least once every two years if not more often. Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it absorbs water over time, yes the master cylinder is vented to the atmosphere, and this reduces the fluids capacity for higher heat situations, and also starts to corrode the brake system parts, such as the master cylinder bores, seal area on the calipers and master cylinders and eventually the brake lines themselves. I bleed the brakes every year no matter what. It easy, cheap and saves headaches in the future. Because I do that on all my cars, I've never had a master cylinder or caliper failure on any car and I track all of them. My NSX is 22 years old and again never a hydraulic fluid and seal failure period. Worn brake pads and rotors from track use, YES. But no seal failures due to corrosion from old brake fluid.

Ha, you are right; 26K is indeed the right time to renew the brake fluid.

Not sure what I was thinking there.

As to bleeding, I was not referring to air contacting the resevoir, I meant air bubbles within the actual hydraulic circuit (between the master and slave cylinders).

Changing pads and/or rotors should not cause that to happen, hence no need to bleed the system.

 

Oh dude this was you? I used this vid a few months ago when I put on my stoptechs! This helped me out a bunch! Very well done. Thank you!
