Does anyone know the proper torque rating for the 14mm bolts that hold on the strut brace? I looked around but couldn't find anything and thought destinyZ might know.

no torque spec is required for something like this.

After you re-install, go back around and ensure that all the nuts and bolts are fully tightend.

Especially if you note a colored paint mark on a fastener, that is a mark by a QA rep that witnessed the torque during manufacturing. There is a torque spec on those fasteners and it is 38 ft.lbs.

All the specs can be found on a $20-$25 cd you can purchase on ebay Nissan 370Z Workshop Manual.
