Tow hook
 
I own a 2010 40th annivesary editon 370z.

While I was making room in the hatch yesterday I pulled up the carpet and the hatch board to find a Nissan stamped toe hook. Is this standard equipment?

I have one also, so I believe so...

you mean tow hook? :D

phelan 04-25-2011 11:14 AM

^ bahaha, i read this and thought "...you're putting your toe WHERE in the Z???? :icon14:"

:rofl2:

birdmanx1 04-25-2011 11:23 AM

The "Toe" hook has got to be a special option for the 40th; I only have the tow hook on mine not the other hook :tup:

bigZ 04-25-2011 12:05 PM

Sorry I meant to say TOW hook. It looks like there are some cut outs on the spare tire case. What goes in those holes?

geosZ 04-25-2011 12:21 PM

My 09 coupe came with one but my 10 roadster dint

semtex 04-25-2011 12:51 PM

Don't you mean the tow hook loop? We don't get the actual hook. We get the little loop/eye thingy that a hook (which would presumably be attached to a winch-cable on a tow truck) goes into.

kenchan 04-25-2011 12:55 PM

ok, now we're getting too technical here. :D

bflosabre91 04-25-2011 12:58 PM

idk what it is but i have some U shaped thingy that sits in the styrofoam stuff around the spare tire. 2010 base model

Duh.

bigZ 04-25-2011 01:33 PM

Do all NIssans come with the loop thingy or in lay mans terms a Tow hook loop? Mine has Nissan Stamped across the side.

m4a1mustang 04-25-2011 01:36 PM

Yes, they all come with it.

m4a1mustang 04-25-2011 01:36 PM

But do they all go with it? That is the question. :confused:

All Zs do, but I don't know about all Nissans. I'd be kinda surprised if the Nissan Quest came with one, for instance. But you never know.

ahhh, you painted yours red and stuck it on your stang? :icon17:

m4a1mustang 04-25-2011 01:38 PM

I misread the question. Yes, all Zs come with, but I doubt all Nissans do. I'm sure a lot of them have built in loops.

Technically it's still a tow "hook" since by definition its anything that catches or snares. :D

OP, there's a reciever on the front for it. Check the manual.

bigZ 04-25-2011 01:55 PM

What else comes with the 370z in the hatch section? I know a spare and a lug wrench.

mine must be defective cause since i bought my z about 40 days ago, its been rainy and cold for pretty much 35 of those days. do you think nissan would swap mine out for a new one? :icon17:

There should also be a car jack and a midget in there.

Really, there should be two tow hooks, in case you have to be towed from the front and rear simultaneously.

And when did Mustang Steve become the lead singer of Metric? I've gotta sign on more often...

It would be nice if we had a mounting place for a rear tow hook:shakes head:

You know that little square panel right smack in the middle of the rear? Pop it off and there's a receiver behind it to screw in the tow hook loop.

semtex 04-26-2011 11:52 AM

Here's a pic of the panel to which I refer:

Mine has no mounting point underneath :confused:
