I think it's 529Nm. Lbft x 1.356 = Nm

Do you mean for the wheel nuts? = 100nm/75lb ft

..but don't believe me, wait for Joust!

[joust]

Wheel bearing: 270Nm
Wheel nut: 130Nm

3R Engine Torque: 340lb/ft = 460.978102NM

OK, so that's why my wheels are always falling off then!

So it is: 130nm/96lb ft - agreed?

[joust]

It's what I've always used.

Seems to be some confusion here.

I was at vegantune last week, (passing and popped it for a chat) and was told it should be 100nm, some say 110nm and Justini is now saying 130nm. Seems a large difference. Nearly 30% in fact


So what is it and who is right?? I feel an arm wrestle coming on!

I've always used 120-130NM which is what was on Anthony's website.

No idea where he got it from, but as 130NM is easily achieveable by hand with a normal wheel nut brace it's hardly going to do it any harm being there. A quick google shows other cars are in the 90-150Nm range.

That was taken from a post by the factory a while back, although Nathan put something in the FAQ on www.gto3.com saying that the wheel nuts should be at 110lb/ft, I don't know his source though.

For what it's worth I alway do mine up to 130Nm and have not had any problems.
