The Full Details on Spare Tire Kit

Hi-Step'n370Z

I just purchased the Spare Tire Kit today through my Nissan Dealer Parts Department, and thought I'd post the details on a new thread so anyone who wants the info will be more certain to see it.

for those of you who may want to buy one for your Z. The Coupe and the Roadster Kit's each have their own part number, so be sure to order the right Kit for your Z.

The part number for the Roadster is: 999W5 ZW000, as previously posted on the Forum.

The kit includes everything you need, but the actual tire. Included are: the spare wheel, spare wheel clamp down assembly, tool storage tray, inner trim panel, jack, jack rod, spare tire cover, a valve stem, "this is a spare tire" caution label, tire placard label, (shows inflation pressure- 60 psi, and tire size- 145/70/18.

See owners manual for full instructions.

HOWEVER! you have to buy the actual tire and have it mounted and balanced. I am buying that through the Dealer Parts, they will get one from one of their suppliers. I told them to make sure it's a "newer" manufactured tire, I won't accept an old one. I suggest that you do that too for safety and reliability's sake.

The dealer is charging me $460.00 for the kit, and not sure how much for the tire yet, but they're going to try to find one locally, and doesn't expect it to cost too much, but whatever it is, it is. Probably will be between one and two hundred dollars, but just a guess.

So; My wheel locks are on, and spare tire looks like a done deal. Now all I need to do is to DRIVE THE CAR!! LOL.
