Confirmed torque setting for new rear porshe hub nuts please

[klousehouse1]

Does any one know the torque setting for new rear porshe hub nut, Wiki says 270Nm i think. Is this correct as i have a track day coming up next Monday and i do not want A. Loose rear wheels or B.Buggered wheel bearings, and as the standard nuts seem fine at the moment i really want to be sure.
Thanks....

460Nm

270 NM is right--440 is absolutely too much!

I the U.S.A. the "Porsche" rear axle nuts are torqued to 460Nm or 339ft/lbs.

Maybe you are correct, a "Porshe" rear nut torque may be different.

FT should do it!

In 5 years and 8-10 track days and 20K miles my rear axle nuts (both OEM and Porsche) were never torqued above 270 NM (as recommended in the install manual) and they never, ever loosened.

Joel,

Jake aka JG400 on the US forum is the one who fabricated the uprated axle shafts for the fronts that use the Porsche nuts. Read his post about torquing to 340ft/lbs. I got mine through Derek's shop when they were distributing Jakes kits. The torque spec supplied was 340ft/lb front and rear. I lost a front hub bearing in 2004. When I saw Derek's front axles I ordered immediately.
Not being argumentative.

Gregg
