Broken wheel stud and lug nut.

Just ask for your money back, threaten them with small claims court if they resist. The locks are only like $50 on the courtesy parts web site, so they were trying to screw you anyway.

After contacting Nissan directly, my dealership's part dept gave me a call and he said he'll offer me either the #999h1-a7009 or the #999W2-JT000. Even then, he's telling me that I'm in the wrong and that #999h1-a7009 is correct for my car and that #999W2-JT000 is for "Grand Touring" models. I tried to tell him that the Grand Touring doesn't exist for the 370Z and he keeps talking to me like I'm an idiot.

Anyways before I actually head out to the dealership, is there a chance that #999h1-a7009 will actually work on my 18" non-sports wheels?

All of us that were having problems had the sport wheels. It is possible that the non-sport might use the old 350 style lug nut. Easiest way to tell is to pull off one of the lug nuts while your there and compare it to the lock sets he is offering.

Wow, good thread.

I'm checking mine tonight, since I think it has 'em.

Let us know. I am curious now since the TSB came out.

Seriously, all of these lug nut problems should have ceased to exist after that.

Well, I have the wrong wheel-locks on mine, I called the dealer and notified them, and they discovered the discrepency - AND - said they'd check with other people who have bought any 370z they've sold that has the sport package (and requres the different parts) and take care of it.

Nissan should notify the dealers that the sport package warrants different locks!

Mike · 06-20-2009, 10:13 PM

they have, through TSB. I had the same problem today. Also, when I went back in and happened by the parts counter after they fixed it, the counterman had the same TSB printed out and sitting on his desk.

MacDaddy · 06-30-2009, 11:40 PM

Well this is an extremely interesting thread as I to have already had one crack. Bought the car, rear wheel had a small rash spot on it from some novice drivers test drive, other than that the car is clean at 120 miles, so dealer says they will have it repaired. Get the car back with the locking lug broken exactly like the pics on page , needless to say I am piissd, dealer replaces the lugs with a new set, but now I've got to find out if they are the wrong ones.

BTW, does anyone know if the Projectkics Caliber 24 lugs are a correct fit for the 370 lugs, every place I've looked has S2000 and RSX fitment.

I'd get on their *** for being non-compliant to their own problem that was published by Nissan.

kannibul · 07-01-2009, 01:54 PM

Nissan had notified the dealers to use the wrong part for the wheel locks.

They have posted a service bulletin about it - notify the dealer about this, and if they're worth their salt, they should contact other people who have bought one to have them bring it in so they can swap the locks out for the correct ones...

MacDaddy · 07-01-2009, 02:31 PM

So I'm back from the dealer, let see if I can find the smiley for the looks on their faces when I brought this up....

...or maybe...

....they had no clue!!!!! Interesting, the owner of the dealership was in his office with the sales manager, so we had a talk.....over 20 370Z's sent out with the wrong locks on them and they had 2 on the lot with the wrong ones. I'll have to wait until Friday to get the right ones but I got the standard lugnuts so I can at least drive the car.

Thanks again everyone and get the word out!!!!!

They did send out a bulliten explaining what locking lugs where the correct ones to use and why. Proabably a couple weeks ago it went out.
