Ouch! That sux... Do you have any pictures? Maybe you need a spare donut for your spare tire to hold the sub when you need your spare tire on your car! JK...

well...... Nissan does some DUMB **** sometimes. but all jokes aside that's actually true lol. unless u can find something else to stick there that is roughly spare tire size and shaped lop. I will take pics this weekend if someone doesn't beat me to it. I'm at work away for this week. its annoying sometimes, Nissan tries to cater to every demographic at once. and u cannot do that. they don't make a car specifically designed foe only one type of person. unless u bought a quest, in which you are part of the "likes ugly ****" Demographic. but if u look at Mitsubishi they are clearly made for 16 year olds. same as scion. subaru is half and half 16 year old/old people but they think their cars are worth their weight in platinum (I own a 02 wrx. they aren't) good, but not worth a small fortune. and Toyota worries so much about saving trees they haven't made a car anyone remembers in about 10 years. I think each company focuses on their respective retarded short term goal that they easily overlook simple things like this. I honestly thought we were about 15 years past the stupid OOPS automotive design era. Renault, lancia, Saab and Volvo were the automotive "innovative" tard carts and look where it got 2 of them!

honestly I don't think ANY development was considered with adding the Bose package to nismo cars. I can just picture them having a 15 minute coffee break brainstorm "this should work" solution and just went full swing without a second thought.

That's crazy. I am having my car detailed today but will check ASAP and report back. Thanks for the heads up!

I just ordered my Stillen Gen 3 from one of the sponsors on this site. He gave me a great deal! Much less than any site I've been to and cheaper than the lowest sale price on the Stillen site. Free shipping too! I called him and he sent me a PayPal request. Completed transaction in less than a minute.

My 2013 Nismo does not have the issue you described. There is a white detachable disconnect clip to the left. Once the clip is removed the entire unit is separate. I showed a picture under the Bose Bass and there are no additional wires. Additionally, when the long screw in holder is screwed in it is tight and flush.

But if you take out the spare, can you still put the Bose sub back in place? From the pix, it seems the spare rim is the support of the sub.

Hmmmm. Good question! Pictures to follow tomorrow. :)

yes yes. the issue was when u remove the spare. BUT I will admit a foot in mouth on the little white clip. so u can take it out. but I have another question. will the Bose system still function properly, I know Bose systems in particular are very...... tamper sensitive.

I had the same set up in my a Acura and the bass had a short. It was removed for a week and the stereo still worked. It was a Bose too.

So I disconnected the Bose Bass speaker and the system still operates. The Bass is a little wobbly when the spare is removed! There is precisely 1.5 inch of free space so I went to my local auto store and bought a rubber grommet to keep just in case. With the grommet installed the Bass is secure without the spare. I placed the grommet on top and put the bolt through it kind of like a big washer

I noticed there is a towing bolt.

Does anyone know if something is supposed to go where the red arrow is?

Cool spare tire.

I believe that's a tool for the convertible cars.

That is for the overseas models. Look around post #42 in this thread.

Is that the part number 402852 because I thought it would not work for the nismo model?
