Did either of you see what kind of locking nuts you got? I ordered some 370Z locks, but got the G37s... I put them on, and they did seem to not quite tighten. I my end up removing them if you guys can confirm you got the same ones, but I'm 400 miles away from home right now for a friend's engagement party, and they've held up thus far.

If anyone has one of these cheap locking sets, remove them immediately and replace them with a premium set. The cheap ones will fail, it's only a matter of time (mine took 3 weeks). |

Looks like I can join the club - just busted a couple of my locking lugs ends off. One side, I was checking tightness on my lugs, and barely turned the wrench 10-15 degrees and SNAP. The opposite side, I was just trying to take it OFF, and it snapped! What a hunk of ****....
My dealership is closed today, so I'll be going there tomorrow very early. |

Hey, just in case - can you post up what extractor you bought? And how did you make sure the wheel didnt get damaged? |
I kept the locking ones from my 350 when I traded it, will they work on the 370?

Come on Nissan, this is getting annoying. Rotors get trashed, engine overheats and now locking nuts explode?
Im starting to feel a little unsafe. |

Except I got the 2 piece set instead of 3. http://www.the370z.com/attachments/w...ut-remover.jpg The socket hole did get a little scratched but that was partly because I was in a hurry. It's a fairly snug fit but you could probably sleeve it with some thin cardboard taped on. The procedure was to set the impact wrench to reverse, but initially start threading it on by hand to get it nice and straight. Slowly start the impact wrench in reverse and let it thread itself on the nut. Once it bites apply full power to remove the nut. Once it is off you then have to separate the nut from the tool by grinding a flat into the sides of the nut and then locking it in a vice so you can use the impact wrench in forward mode to remove to separate them. |
Hmmmm, interesting....because I dont think I have any threads to thread this tool ONTO...I think it was broken off right at the tip of both studs...
Or, wait, do you thread it onto the remaining lugnut? |
