Default Wheel nut torque value

In response to this
http://www.rdabrakes.com.au/downloads/bulletin2.pdf
Does anyone know the recommended torque for wheel nuts on AU1, may be an issue or not but if I have the tools at home while I am fitting new rotors and pads I may as well get it correct

I just do them up tight by hand in a star pattern... lol

Doing wheel nuts up with a torque wrench is getting a little carried away I think.

ever tried to pull off a wheel nut after a race event after the wheel and brakes have been glowing hot and the mags are that hot that you cannot touch them?
Thats when u find out that anti seize comes in handy. Also prevents sheering off studs ;)
