Message	Most import car makers do this. I could google the exact method for the Z, but I will make one up i.e. Crankshaft bolt: Torque to 40 ft-lbs, plus 90 degrees Do exactly that, torque wrench to 40 ft-lbs, put a sharpie (or paint pen) mark on the bolt vs reference, torque until you have turned the bolt 90 degrees. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Stock Turbos) (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (GT600R) (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 2008 Honda Civic (DD) 2014 Nissan Murano (DD) 1969 Chevy C10 (Toy) 1969 Chevelle (Toy)
