Nissan Micra Standard Bolt Tightening Torque Chart - 4T 7T 9T Grades (GI-17)
Standard-bolt tightening torque table giving N·m, kg-m and ft-lb values by bolt grade (4T/7T/9T) and size/pitch from M6 to M14; e.g. grade 9T M14 = 109-147 N·m (80-108 ft-lb).
This document is page GI-17 from a Nissan factory service manual General Information section, titled "Tightening Torque of Standard Bolts." It provides a comprehensive reference table of standard tightening torque values for metric bolts and nuts across three strength grades: 4T, 7T, and 9T. For each grade, the table lists bolt sizes M6 through M14, their nominal diameters (6.0 to 14.0 mm), thread pitches (1.0 to 1.75 mm), and the corresponding torque ranges expressed in three units: Newton-metres (N·m), kilogram-metres (kg-m), and foot-pounds (ft-lb). Values range from 3-4 N·m (2.2-2.9 ft-lb) for a 4T M6 bolt up to 109-147 N·m (80-108 ft-lb) for a 9T M14 bolt. Footnotes clarify that special parts are excluded from this standard, and that the grades correspond to marks embossed on bolt heads (4, 7, or 9). A small diagram explains bolt designation nomenclature: "M" indicates metric screw threads and the number indicates the nominal diameter of the bolt threads in millimetres. A reader can use this page to determine correct torque values for any standard fastener on the vehicle when a specific torque is not otherwise specified.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the tightening torque for a standard 4T grade M8 bolt?
- 8 - 11 N·m (0.8 - 1.1 kg-m, 5.8 - 8.0 ft-lb) for both 1.25 mm and 1.0 mm pitch.
- How can I tell what grade a bolt is?
- The standard applies to bolts with marks embossed on the bolt head: 4 = grade 4T, 7 = grade 7T, 9 = grade 9T.
- What is the torque spec for a 9T M12 bolt?
- With 1.75 mm pitch: 65 - 88 N·m (6.6 - 9.0 kg-m, 48 - 65 ft-lb); with 1.25 mm pitch: 72 - 97 N·m (7.3 - 9.9 kg-m, 53 - 72 ft-lb).
- What does the 'M6' bolt designation mean?
- 'M' means metric screw threads and '6' is the nominal diameter of the bolt threads in millimetres.
- Do these torque values apply to all bolts on the vehicle?
- No — the document states special parts are excluded; it applies only to standard bolts with grade marks 4, 7, or 9 embossed on the head.
