Spare tire for Z question

Hi-Step'n370Z · 03-23-2010, 04:41 PM

First it was the Roadster wheel lock fiasco, now getting a spare is another.

First, the Dealer parts told me that none is available for my Z, it only comes with the fix-a flat and air compressor. Then when I pointed out that there is a wheel well and a tower to secure the spare, they agreed that one should be available for my Roadster.

The Dealer parts said that to get a wheel, jack and rod jack holder would cost over $800.00. That dosesn't seem right. I thought the spare was $200.00, and never thought about the jack, but I'll bet there's an generic jack that's well less than the $240.00 Nissan wants for theirs and a handle, that will fit in the trunk.

Do any of you have some input on my getting a spare and jack for my Roadster?

Also might help to figure this one out for any future Z owners who want to get a spare sometime in the future.
