You know, at times you are full of bull sh!t!

Nissan has a set of locking lugs nuts THAT FIT OUR WHEELS! I have a set.

After reading about the stolen wheels in another thread. I went back to the dealer and bought the McGard locking lug nuts. Part number #999W2-JT000 for $59.00. I also read the threads about the wrong locking lug nuts being used. The reason why those locking lug nut heads broke off is. The the wheel stud pushed through the top of the nut before the cone section of the nut touched the wheel. I've seen it before. And being for two different style of wheel holes.

... You know... He implies AFTERMARKET... Right?

Well he said OEM wheels, I read it as no one (aftermarket wise) makes lugs for the OEM wheels.

Now, I know McGard makes the locks, but I consider those as OEM locks

My bad brother!

Full of sh!t for lack of updated knowledge? My bad

. Nice to see it only took nissan 3 years to make these while others have had the original nissan locking lugs snap like I posted in the pic. In fact probably took even longer than 3 years if the 350z uses the same style of wheel/lug connection. Praise be to nissan for getting on the ball

. Hey at least SPL isn't as slow now as we waited only 4-5 years for front arms from them. Makes me feel good the Z has such a strong f****** support!!

... NOW you're wrong brother... The correct lugs have been out since 2009-ish. The dealers who installed the acorn style were just morons...

You were right about the water leak on my car, lol
And thanks

You sure? Lotta threads on it which means all dealers were installing the wrong lugs. Glad there's a fix though.

O good! PITA what a $15 seal can cause but glad you found it. My ecu and wires and connectors all got wet. Glad I didn't blow anything and hope you dried it all out real good before start up.

I'm 99.9999% sure, my '09 had the correct lugs because the dealer wasn't retarded. It just takes a few HARD drivers to cause one to break. And for the shít to hit the fan...

And yeah, went to the dealer, he put some 3M almost denture sealant stuff and pressed it down, presto change-o, worked well, rained like a SOB and not a damn drop of water in the car.

Fortunately in my car the water didn't really go into the stupid wiring plug thingy, just dropped straight down, and I took every picoliter of water out of that bítch

They are retarded, that's for sure. My old boss hired his son-in-law to be the service writer! No clue about anything. Every tech was just a kid or guy fresh out of school or off the street that could turn a wrench. Always one guy at least with 10-20 years though but he can't do all the dealers work.
