Hi guys,

Where can I find these wheel nuts for V36 370GT? Would any Nissan dealers have these? They are the same as 370Z. Been to a tyre shop this morning, they took off the ones with the lock but couldn't put them on. And they don't have anything similar to put on. Now I am having 4 nuts on each wheel. They said it is safe to drive but I am really concerned. :(:(

Cheers

Leon

as long as the 4 nuts are tightened correctly driving around normally will be fine until you find a replacement

But, I don't understand how the tyre shop could take them all off but then only put 4 back on? doesn't make sense. Did they f**k up one of the nuts? Are they lock nuts?

It's been awhile since I've sold my V36 but from memory the factory nuts have a taper, most tyre shops should stock them. Try autobarn/supercheap auto too

They are lock nuts.. I wanted to check the brake pads since I don't know any history of the car. The wheels have to be removed to see the brake pads. They didn't have the correct key but forced and damaged the locks. If I knew they can't put it back on I would never ask them.. "just go to Nissan dealer to get few from them" That's all they said.. Very unprofessional..

If you are in Adelaide (you haven't specified your location for some reason) I have a few sets of replica RAYS nuts in blue or red here for $50 a set including lock nuts.

I am in Sydney.. I will see how I go with my local Nissan dealer on Monday.. Will let you know if I need it off you.. Thanks mate

I'd tell them where to shove their lock nuts, they shouldn't have taken them off without the key, probably the wet behind the ears apprentice doing all the grunt jobs.

If they're a major chain you can complain to the franchisor, that is poor form on the tyre shop's part.

You didn't have the lock nut key with you in the car?

Don't bother with the nissan dealer, they'll just overcharge you. Get a new set of lock nuts & keep the key in the boot or the console. Like I said you can try supercheap/autobarn as at least they're open on sundays. Loosen up one of the factory nuts when you go to a shop & they can find a suitable type

Nissan should charge about 4.5-5.5 each for the normal lug nuts not too sure about the lock nuts. If you have stock wheels please don't use aftermarket lug nuts unless they have the same taper angle etc as the stock ones which I can't find any.

When I was buying my Xtrail 2 years ago I enquired about lock nuts & from memory I think they wanted $60ish? I can't remember exactly but I remember them being grossly overpriced. However if OP wishes to enquire at a dealership then go for it.

I used a set of $20 lock nuts on my V36 that I got at my local tyre shop & they worked fine, I owned that car for 5 years with no hassles on the lock nuts. :)

Bought a set from Supercheap Auto this morning.. Not exactly the same but it fits in all right. Thanks for your advice :)

all good mate, glad it's sorted out.

Just don't lose the key ;). Some keys have a number code stamped on the top or on the pack so if you lose it you know which replacement to buy

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
