Don't drive with wrong lock nut. I thought my car had alignment problems (before diagnosing the problem) and set up an appointment with the dealership. After putting the right lock nuts, it feels fine.

Sales manager and I rummaged through the make ready guys toolbox and found my OEM lugs which I quickly put on until the right locks arrive.

Sigh, I called my dealership about a month ago because they charged me for wheel locks that they never installed in the first. Just for assurance I asked them which wheel locks they had and what do you know, they're carrying #999h1-a7009(wrong ones.)

I kept arguing with him that they're the wrong wheel locks and he kept telling me the owners on the internet "have no idea what they're talking about." So I called again today and they're still carrying the wrong wheel locks.

They already charged me $160 wheel locks(surprise, surprise) so I need to get a set of wheel locks from them but what's the point of receiving wrong wheel locks. :/

Obviously they're idiots. Anyone with a little intelligence can tell the difference, all you need to do is hold the crappy locking lug up against a standard lug and you can immediately tell it is too short.

I guess they'll come to their senses when they have a customer that has a wheel fall off, or comes close.

It's been over 4 months since I purchased my Z from them and they still don't have correct wheel locks. Unless they're pulling the same **** on their customer by billing them for wheel locks and not installing them.

Anyways I e-mailed Nissan directly hopefully they can arrange something.

Why aren't you doing the following...

1. Demanding your money back (so you can buy the correct locking nuts elsewhere).

2. Threatening to take them to court.

3. Naming and Shaming these criminals?

ChrisSlicks · 06-03-2009, 04:45 PM

Just ask for your money back, threaten them with small claims court if they resist. The locks are only like $50 on the courtesy parts web site, so they were trying to screw you anyway.

After contacting Nissan directly, my dealership's part dept gave me a call and he said he'll offer me either the #999h1-a7009 or the #999W2-JT000. Even then, he's telling me that I'm in the wrong and that #999h1-a7009 is correct for my car and that #999W2-JT000 is for "Grand Touring" models. I tried to tell him that the Grand Touring doesn't exist for the 370Z and he keeps talking to me like I'm an idiot.

Anyways before I actually head out to the dealership, is there a chance that #999h1-a7009 will actually work on my 18" non-sports wheels?

All of us that were having problems had the sport wheels. It is possible that the non-sport might use the old 350 style lug nut. Easiest way to tell is to pull off one of the lug nuts while your there and compare it to the lock sets he is offering.

Wow, good thread.

I'm checking mine tonight, since I think it has 'em.

Seriously, all of these lug nut problems should have ceased to exist after that.

Well, I have the wrong wheel-locks on mine, I called the dealer and notified them, and they discovered the discrepency - AND - said they'd check with other people who have bought any 370z they've sold that has the sport package (and requres the different parts) and take care of it.

Nissan should notify the dealers that the sport package warrants different locks!

Mike · 06-20-2009, 10:13 PM

they have, through TSB. I had the same problem today. Also, when I went back in and happened by the parts counter after they fixed it, the counterman had the same TSB printed out and sitting on his desk.
