Adjust at the hinge for proper back door fit, and adjust the striker so that it is in the center of the lock.

What are the back door hinge torque specifications?

Hinge to back door: 21-26 N·m (2.1-2.7 kg-m, 15-20 ft-lb). Hinge to body: 41-52 N·m (4.2-5.3 kg-m, 30-38 ft-lb).

This is a scanned page (BF-6) from a Nissan factory service manual, section "Body End and Door — Rear End," covering back door (rear hatch/tailgate) and rear bumper service. It gives adjustment instructions: adjust the back door at the hinges for proper fit, and adjust the striker so it centers in the lock. Two warnings caution against scratching the pressurized back door (gas) stay, which may cause gas leakage, and against disassembling, puncturing, heating, or exposing the stay to fire. An exploded diagram provides torque specifications in N·m (kg-m, ft-lb): hinge to back door 21-26 N·m, hinge to body 41-52 N·m, back door stay and stay bracket bolts 5.1-6.5 N·m, bumper assembly mounting bolts and nuts 13-16 N·m, door lock 11-14 N·m, and lock cylinder/striker area 4.3-5.2 N·m. An inset shows the door lock assembly with grease-up points marked. A second inset defines rear bumper height H, measured within 60 cm (23.6 in) of vehicle center on both sides at curb weight with normal tire pressure on level ground: 515-561 mm (20.28-22.09 in). Figure codes SBF379B and SBF250D appear on the page.
