when can I get a spare wheel holder?

[MRK25T]

I bought my s2 R33 a year or so ago and it didnt come with a spare tyre bolt thing to hold the space saver in the boot.

Every time I go over a bump the space save likes to move around and make noise.

Where can I get the bold to secure my spare tyre and how much will i expect to pay?

I need one of these too. I rang up Just Jap in Kirrawee and the guy laughed at me! As if they are almost impossible to find or something.

We might have to keep our eyes open in the for sale section of the forum for people who are wrecking their R33s.

Do you know if the bolt/holder is able to be sourced from a more common car?

an appropriate bolt and wingnut combo from any hardware store should be able to do it... get to it One will fit..

I'm currently working long hours 7 days/week doing 2 jobs so I haven't been able to get out and look for a part yet. I thought maybe someone could point me to a place and when I get around to it i'd just go in and buy it.

Yeah a hardware store is a bitch. It's not like we can reverse our cars into the store and mix and match bolt lengths and threads to get the right one. Also I think you need some sort of metal plate for the bolt to sit on if it's like other cars I've seen.

Maybe try www.findapart.com.au. I'll send them a request too I think.

Let me know Jimmy if you find one (I guess it would be the same for a s2). Might order 2 if the price is reasonable?

Yeah will do, I'll ask if they have 2 if/when they reply. I think I might have tried the above URL before with no success, just can't remember if I did it after I got the car. I've used it before with mixed results for other car and motorcycle parts.

Have you try some wracker? as long as threads are same..

[JimX]

I've only tried Just Jap, I've had no success with any other Sydney wreckers for Skyline parts. They couldn't help so I just gave up.

I rang up Col Crawford (located on the northern beaches) and they said they can order them in from Japan. It will cost $16 and must be payed up front.

I'll go and order mine tommorow.

The guy also said its the same part as that on a s15.

Jimx: i'll PM you about this.

[EnricoPalazzo]

Haha its funny cos i need one aswell. Ill just nake one when i have some time.

[JimX]

A wrecker replied to my Findapart request and said he had them for $20, so I replied and asked him to COD one to me. But he hasn't replied in over a week so I guess it's not coming. Oh well, his loss and my gain if I can get one new for $16

Get out a ruler.. measure the bolt diameter, and bolt height, and find an appropriate washer to hold it all down.. its not that hard! Will cost you $3 max via that method.

But if its same as from an S15.. just go to Nissan directly.. they'll have one in stock.
