-first, put some oil on the inside of the bolt and on the thread so there is minimal friction when using the torque wrench.

-tighten the bolts to around 16N0m (1.4 - 1.6kg-m)

-then tighten the bolt an extra 60-65 degrees using a protractor fitted to your breaker bar (use a breaker bar instead of a rachet so your angle is constant as a breaker bar doesnt click back and wont snap under high torques).

cheers.

What Joe said above is what the GTR engine manual says. Use an angle guage (or protractor lol) don't do it by eye.
