To my knowledge, you set your torque wrench guided by the bolt size,
not the nut. Whether or not it's a Nylock nut is irrelevent to torque
settings; that just generally means you should not use a Nylock nut
more than once.

e.g. for Grade 5, 3/8"-16 (course) threaded nuts and bolts, you're
torquing to ~23 ft-lbs. whether it's a Nylock nut or not.
