No.
Buy wheel locks and get a clear bra.

Thanks for the help!

Yeah I did notice that the one I drove the clutch was "wonky"

I know my location shows NC but I'm actually located in SoCal (San Diego)

Looking forward to getting back into the car forums after selling my civic back in 09

I used to be a moderator on ephatch.com and was a huge part of that community, was a wealth of knowledge and helpful to all.
The ep3 I had was the first to break 500whp in the States on 93 pump
And before I sold it, it was pushing 592 on 93
I sold it when I got orders to Cali, due to smog reasons then went through a heavy deployment cycle and didn't have the time to get back into it

Looking fwd to chatting with y'all

My previous car to the Z was an 05 EP3 at about 280 HP (boosted) and it was a ton of fun. Enjoy your Z and welcome back from service!

The wheel locks Nissan gives you aren't good enough?

May have to invest in some, but the last time I did that (Discount Tire) we found that they issued all the same to everyone (which is probably the case w/Nissan too), so anyone that had them could use the key and take your rims (esp. the employees, which is what happened to my car).

Needless to say, Discount bought me new rims.

OP, just make sure the wheel locks that come with it are the right style. It seems like the dealers are still screwing this up even though the car has been out since '09.
