Maybe I'm just a douche bag for not being able to find this, but could someone please tell me the lug nut torque for the Z.... I haven't gotten my owners manual from the dealer yet... Did a search, but I couldn't find anything..

 

80 lb-ft that what the manual said. But it doesn't feel tight enough....

 

The Nissan Factory Service Manual suggest 73-93ft-lbs (foot pounds) for the OEM wheel lug torque.

Info is on 350z tech wiki.

 

80 ft-lbs

 

Spencer, Go With 90 Ft Lbs!!!!! Verified With No Limit Inc. Today (best Friend Works There, He Has Been Doing Rims And Suspension For 6 Years There) 1/4/06 At 2:00pm Est

 

Thank you so much for the info everyone...... I just got my springs so I'll be doing the drop this weekend. Appreciate it...

 

I've always done 85#ft myself...

 

90

 

+1, 90 especially with wide wheels.

 

I do 90-100ft/lbs on the 19's, 80 is weaksauce...

 

Also, best to tighten in two stages. I tighten to 60 Lb/Ft then to 90 Lb/Ft.

 

Oh yeah, and make sure you torque the wheels as much as you can while the car is still suspended. I spin my wheel the opposite way of my torque wrench and I can get a click at 85 lb-ft.

 

changed rear pads today. Only had an inch pound wrench so I used 1000 inch pounds on the lugs. Thats right,.....right?

 

^ u did the inverse of the conversion numbnut

 

I just double checked and no i didnt. 80 ft lbs = 960 inch lbs. I added forty inch pounds just to go alittle higher.

 

I read someplace that it is 90.

I have never owned a torque wrench in my life and have never used one to torque any bolts requiring a specific torque and I have never stripped or broke a nut and never had one fall off of anything either.

But yes 90. Which to me is a urggh and a half a umph.

 

which torque wrench do you guys have? I'm searching for one but don't want to spend $$$ on it.

 

They require more torque than a honda makes

 

I did 90 on the Rays Lugs for the Volks.

 

Go to SEARS. I think it's the second time I ever went to SEARS for anything, but they DO KNOW torque-wrenches!

Forget what model I got, though.
