you must ONLY use genuine Nissan bolts...they have the proper shear loading. Even high tensile bolts are unsuitable. Use the wrong bolts you risk loosing your feet...don't do it!!

Make sure the clutch locating dowels are installed properly too.

they were nissan bolts and they are rubbish

i would think proper high tensile bolts would hold it with ease?

are u 100% sure u can only use nissan bolts cause that seems really odd that u have no other choice...

cause i need them tomorrow do u think a wreckers would sell me them bolts maybe?

rubbish nissan bolts? probably because they're 20 years old? go to nissan and get some genuine ones, they're not even expensive

33ft/lbs is what they need.

Thanks Dan. ;-)

Don't talk to me about torque, I know torque!

I would have thought 33ft/lb would be a bit too harsh. 33nm would seem more practical but if it says that in the manual than all good.
