soimafreak Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 To cut a long story short I basically have nuked my allow wheel nut key, I think the time before last it was done up to tight and an undo - redo took it's toll, either way it's screwed. So my questions are.... 1,So I just go get a locking wheel nut remover such as http://www.dynomec.co.uk/ 2, I believe I can order a replacement from nissan / McGuard but I don't really want to wait 8 weeks for it I need to get my wheels off in the next 2 weeks if not sooner. 3, Do all 350's come with the same key for the locking wheel nut ? My suspicion is that they are all the same, But I would need to find some kind and generous person that owned a 350z and was willing to let me use there locking wheel nut key (which given the circumstances may be challenging) Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 3, Do all 350's come with the same key for the locking wheel nut ? No, there are dozens of different types. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 8 different types IIRC, and if you take your car to Nissan they can check which one you have and order you one up for the next day or the day after. Cost is about £8, best to get two for that price in case it happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I think I remember reading somewhere there is actually about 12/13 different types? Post up the pattern and someone might be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jell36 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I've just been to Nissan today to get a replacement for mine. They had three different sets of tools. The set that contained the correct one for me had abour 16 different keys in it. Anyway they found the right one but it wasnt in stock so they say it will be a week for it to come in and cost £17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily they had it within their group stock so i'll get it tuesday. Thanks for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
