How to tighten my new nuts ? - Almost Finished - 05-04-2018
Hi , i bought some light weight D1 spec racing wheel nuts at Japfest on saturday and would like to know the correct torque settings before i fit them ? Thanks , Dave.

103 Nm for an IS200/300.

only can be fitted on cold,with cold rims
only a torque wrench,to the right torque:thumbup:

One thing that you'll find lots of opposing opinions on is whether to put some copper grease on the studs. Some people have insisted to me that you must do so. But I'm going with Tony Bones's advice, who said that you can't torque it properly if you grease the stud.

Only because you can overtorque with lube, but it should give more consistant results. There's separate torque charts available for bolts that are molybdenum disulphide coated, and the recommended torque is a fair bit lower than for non coated bolts. I'll see if I can find the two for comparison.

Agreed, and make sure the threads are clean, otherwise you could undertorque the studs.
Any substance or material that is in contact with the underhead bearing surface of the fastener or the mating threads, must be taken into account when selecting the torque value. As there's no data (as far as I know) for the coefficient of friction for copper greased studs/nuts, it's safest to use the manufacturers recommended torque value which is only based on non lubricated studs/nuts.
Using copper grease could cause over tensioning of the stud leading to ductile fracture or loss of tensile strength.:thumbdown:
LUBRICANT OR PLATING - TORQUE CHANGES
Oil - Reduce torque 15% to 25%
Dry Film (Teflon or moly based) - Reduce torque 50%
Dry Wax (Cetyl alcohol) - Reduce torque 50%
Chrome plating - No change
Cadmium plating - Reduce torque 25%
Zinc plating - Reduce torque 15%
