Lug Nut Torque On The M35

[jackbh241]

Hello helpful people of SAU,

Does anyone know the correct torque for the lug nuts on the M35? The wheels on it are aftermarket 18”, not sure if that makes any difference?

Sorry for the noob question just about to set out on a long road trip in the stag and after losing a wheel on the last road trip I wanna be sure everything is perfect this time (provided no one tries to steal the wheels this time around haha).

Any help/pre road trip tips would be greatly appreciated,

I run aluminium nuts on my Riceline, so I give them 90-100 Nm, but I think steel nuts should be good for 100-110 Nm.

80 foot pounds / 108 Nm.... says Dr Google.

From the G35 sites.

sorry this is the stagea section mate not skylines.....oh wait hahaahahhaha im kidding mate!

I have the rays duralumin nuts and theyre the shittest, theyre like cheese. The locking nut tool strips the nut.....not good considering price. TBH its basically for the brand/wank factor and serve no purpose!

But when I go to lowdown / jdmst /zen meets, who is going to wank off over my stock wheel nuts?

My experience with RAYS nuts has been different.

I got my RAYS nuts with the wheels I currently have second hand around April 2008 and the only issue I have had with them is apprentice mechanics cross threading them or using the wrong size socket on the rattle gun. Otherwise, since equipping them they have gone through many track days and wheel changes without issue!

I agree that they are for wank factor though... But the blue nuts on silver/blue wheels looks nice

I would consider kics nuts next but at $200 roughly....hell to the no. I spent $50 and bought GKtech ones to replace the rays. I hope rays wheels are better than their nuts.

And alex im not a hardparker as much atm maybe when i get the car presentable. We all know you like a good hard......

What is wrong with the stock nuts? You going for weight saving? Better off taking a dump in that case.

I got them because because the stock nuts do fit down the holes in the wheels i had and the wheels i have now but i coulnt get a socket narrow enough to do them up let alone to undo them.

I bought a set of black anodised, splined steel nuts through Taleb Tyres on the forum for $40; they are a deep nut.

I ran tap down a couple of them, as they felt a bit gritty going on, but since then they've been great.

I have the same nuts as Dale.
