Anybody know where I can find the torque specs for the 2023 Z? Unsure of how tight I should put the lug nuts on. Looked throughout owner's manual and even warranty booklet and found nothing :(.

Of course they don't want us to know that. We're supposed to call Nissan Roadside Assistance or use the OEM insufflation kit and sealant if we have a flat. They don't make any money if we torque our own lugs.

Next question, is the Nissan Z service manual available online anywhere?

In general, 90ft-lb to 110 ft-lb for non-Z vehicles I own(ed).

As tight as you can, then a little bit more.
Not a good idea, as over torquing lugs have been known to warp hot rotors. After years of racing Zs, I suggest 85 ft/lbs applied in a star pattern works best. Never lost a wheel on the street or track using this method.

It's 80 ft-lb. Someone (?MCN1SMO) posted this a while ago in a discussion about offsets.
