370Z Wheel Stud Torque???

Brian S · 01-01-2017, 11:59 AM

Guys,
I have looked in the Nissan 370Z shop manual, and all over this web site, I can not fine the Nissan spec to torque either the 19" Rays Sport wheels, or the 19" later Rays NISMO wheels. It just shouldn't be this hard. Does anyone know the official torque number. I have both sets of wheels, used on my 2010 40th Anniversary model.
Help
Thanks
Brian S
I'll take the number any way, I'll convert it to ft.lb.

littlejuanito · 01-01-2017, 12:00 PM

I believe is 80

MacCool · 01-01-2017, 12:14 PM

80 ft-lbs

JerryDeluxe · 01-01-2017, 12:28 PM

Wouldn't hurt to torque it to 85 but the correct number is 80

Always are.

Guys,
Just for the heck of it, I called my Nissan dealer today, and had him check with the factory about 370Z wheel nut/stud torque. He came back with, normal Nissan cars are 80 ftlb's, 370Z with Rays forged wheels are 109 ftlb's. Since I use anti-seize on my wheel nuts, I dropped it 15% to 95 ftlb's.
Interesting Information

Lol. You asked a dealer.

Brian S · 01-11-2017, 01:56 PM

No, actually I asked the factory service dept., that's where the call went.

80

OK Guys
I'm missing something here...
Are you saying that the engineers, designers, & technicians that made the car that you & I drive, don't know what they are talking about?

I called, because I ran the 80 ft. lb.'s by our fastener/joint engineers at my work, yes we have those people. We calculated the stud size, thread pitch, nut engagement, material, and lastly, how it's used/clamp load. The calculations came up with 80 ft. lb.'s being too low. It seems that Nissan agrees.

I guess you have your answer.

They might have neglected to mention that 108 is in N.m., but in case you want to trust them anyway, I'll just leave this here.
