I need to remove the 3-nuts(Catman Project) and I would like to know the ft-lbs. torque I need to use when I tighten them.

Thanks!

 

35 ft-lbs....

 

Thanks.

 

No, no, no , it 43-51 lb's. That's what my nissan service manual say's.

 

That's for a 2000-2002?

 

Stillen's instructions say ~35 lbs.

 

It's probably not that critical.... just as long is its not under torqued or severely over-torqued, you should be fine

 

this thread has gone on for too long...it's 35...there you go, end of story...

 

Ironically, I saw the thread topic and saw 7 responses...the only reason I read it is because I couldn't belive that, based on the title, it had more than one or two responses. Of course...I'm just taking it one step further, aren't I?

 

Yep, my brand new nissan 2002 service manual clearly say's 43-51 lb's of TQ, I am sure it's the same for 2000 too.


I am sure 35 lb's will work just fine, however I would think nissan would have the correct number, not stillen. When I installed my SC I noticed Stillen gave torque #'s that were to low. They probably do this to be extra carefull so that something is not over torqued and broken.

 

Courtesy Nissan has the answer 35lb. Just check :

I guess there the same as stillen, they give a low # becuase they don't want people to over TQ it and brake there ST bolt{s}. Either that the torque # is different for 2002, or I am reading the wrong #.

 

I go with the last choice.

 

 

WTF?

I'll just go in the middle 40 ft-lbs..

 

Good idea.

 

 

someone, please stop this thread
