Default Lug nut torque...

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..

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

Info is on 350z tech wiki.

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.

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.

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.
