Its the OEM lock nuts that failed. I even have the packet that they come in from Nissan, KE409-89950 ND If anyone is interested in the part # Edit- it does say on the nissan packet "made in the USA".... I blame the yanks haha

Ddcboyle They provide nuts to attach the spacer to the car, and you use your original to attach the wheel to the spacer like you would normally. Don't get me wrong these appear to be decent spacers, just non standard stud length unfortunately. Well just had a stroke of luck, as the nuts tightened onto the bolt instead of the alloy, when they sheared, the shaft that was left was loose to the touch so they just spun off! Here's a pic of 1 of the sheared lock nuts, the last surviving lock nut and a new bolt which there was a set of in the boot. Notice the big difference in the size between the lock but and the normal nut.

Just got the car home and had a good look. It's the studs in the spacers, try are a fraction longer that standard. For the normal nuts that was ok as they have plenty of extra depth in them, but for the lock nuts they are too long and I'm only talking maybe half a mm but that's enough for them to be tightening onto the end of the stud rather than the wheel. I've got some nut extractors but as they are really for rounded hex heads I'm not sure how well they will work on something that is circular in the first place. I really don't want to have to be drilling out studs. Yes definently will be sending off and email to the supplier. They are from JDM-Revolution who are primarily an eBay based company. I'm not going to form any biased opinion of them just yet as I will see how JDM-R want to play it from here. I'll keep you all updated... Thanks for the quick replys though

So, last week I fitting my new wheel spacers... Awesome! Putting the lock nuts back on I sheared one fair enough I could have over tightened it in my excitement (I don't have a torque wrench). Now got back the my car after work a week later and I see the head of a lock nut just lying there next to the car, odd. Upon closer inspection it was exactly like the one I sheared last week. I checked the wheel an it seems it has just decided to pop off whilst I was at work! Turns out all but 1 have done this. I've never had this before... But now I'm stuck with 3 sheared nuts!! Does anyone have any possible solution?

Welcome along! I'm only in Bedford so would be up for Mini meet some time... I'll keep an eye out on the east anglia section

Sorry for the very late reply, I forgot I even posted this. I'm still looking for clear ones without having to pay full wack for them... Got a holiday coming up so will see how many monies I can not spend in the sun

Man I want so bad! But then I'll have no spending money for my holiday in 3 weeks

Is it a GT?

Saw this in the cinema on Wednesday, it was epic! Had to tell my girlfriend to be quiet as she started talking half way through! No respect

Love the sound

haha awesome!

Tried those clear lamps from eBay, turned out to be exactly the same as OEM. Next option was to tint them with a little blue window paint, I played around with varying amounts, couldn't get an exact match to the LED's but it certainly has improved it alot - this is the best match I could get

Cheers, As I'm changing them all to white, for a more OEM look, I'm giving those clear ones ago, not sure how much they will match the hue of the white LED's but we'll see - ill post results up when they arrive I'll send you 1 for Xmas haha

Cheers Flyboy.... It didn't even occur to me to think that this was a case with a bulb/LED. Upon closer inspection there was a small runner case that just simply pulled off. A colour filter perhaps... So I tried it back in the switch with out it but it was still the standard amber colour, just alot brighter. After a quick minute to realise how the the legs were wrap around, I unbent them and got the bulb out. Yes bulb! It makes sense now as there was no specific orientation for to be housed in switch, which LEDs can't do (that whole cathode/anode business) Just a 3mm bulb in the end I'd like to thank the members of 350z-uk throughout this endeavour x

Valuable input from all which I thank you for haha It's from the rocker switch for the mirrors... Just can't seem to find it anywhere online. It has no numbers or anything on it

Just wanted to know what LED this is as in in the process of changing mine.

I have thought about the k&n kit..... Hmmmm But I think I'm still swayed to get the JWT stuff Blue>red

Is it a facelift wheel?

as title... seeing if anyone has any JWT Blue Filter oil before I order from the states...

just about to order the may box, our forum code is now £2.50 off - is this known widely? I missed April's box but my March box had -£5. Not that I'm too fussed about £2.50 especially as the free postage has continued to May as well! just thinking maybe other car clubs are jumping on the band wagon as its on the homepage now for 'Group buys'. I cant speak for April's box but I loved march - that glass cleaner was the nuts! Look forward to reading more about Aprils box... I can see Waxybox just getting bigger and bigger as the show season progress's, especially with his commitment to Waxy merchandise and heavy use on social media :thumbs:

cheers! I now see the light!

really? Nissan designed a triple switch panel just to blank it off?

Just really curious to what switch is meant to go in the blank next to the seat heat switches? Also I found about her blank next to the ESP button, anyone know what goes there too?

Cheers bro... Just got to decide if its worth it as I doubt I'll be going down the F/I route any time soon

Do you have a part number for the manifolds?
