I don't have my manual with me but it isn't very much. Just get them snug until someone post the specs. When you really think about it, they're only there to keep the upper mounts from falling out. It probably isn't such a big deal with OE mounts but it's pretty easy to round-out the studs on aftermarket aluminum uppers.

I'd say 45 ft/lbs.

pearlwhiteS14 · 03-23-2004, 12:37 PM

Are you just guessing with the 45 ft/lbs?

AadosX · 03-23-2004, 02:20 PM

No, 40-45 and youre golden.

35ft lbs is in the FSM from memory..

DuffMan · 03-23-2004, 03:21 PM

According the the S14 FSM, 90- 112 ft lbs.

Wow thats a lot, I would have guessed less.

DuffMan · 03-23-2004, 03:23 PM

And if you doubt me...

*sykikchimp* · 03-23-2004, 03:25 PM

Duff, that is for the 2 sturt mounting bolts at the bottom.

I think he means the 3 upper plate mounting bolts in the strut tower.. which I don't see #'s for in that pic

DuffMan · 03-23-2004, 03:34 PM

Haha, you're right he said 3. I should learn to read better :hammer:

tighten till it hurts your hand

DuffMan · 03-23-2004, 03:36 PM

Those are 29-40 actually.

AadosX · 03-23-2004, 04:19 PM

Thanks guys. Duff and Kid when am I going to see your updated cars?

DuffMan · 03-24-2004, 11:50 AM

Soon, man. Soon.

There was a link on this site a while back that you could download every 240sx manual from the net... I have all of them and they work great.

There is no way for me to host them and they are to big to e-mail...
