If I had the exact material compositions, then I could try to calculate the torque values.

But in the mean time............what spec's? The 4T or the 7T?

That's the million dollar question that i do not know the answer to. If anything, I would assume 4T since there are no markings, which was why decided to just measure the torques. Like i said, these probably don't follow the nissan chart since theses are akebono calipers and nissan buys them already assembled.

I emailed powerstop tech support to see if they can give me the spec since they "reman" these calipers, even though they supply you with brand new calipers without the akabono tag.

I'll post back if they are nice enough to give me the spec, if not then I'm planning on going with what i measured and tossing some blue loctite on the bolts.
