I always knew i had the original NISSAN compressor in the back under my space saver and here is a pic of said item :cool:.

 

 

Yesterday i was checking my spare, with me having 15mm wheel spacers on the front i don't think this spare will go on because the hubcentric's bolts are proud, i need the other 'sexier' space saver that is out there and eventually i shall obtain for the right money.

The green you see, is the first aid kit that was sold with a Zed on it, btw.

 

 

It wasn't until i turned the compressor bag over did i spot something in the bottom right corner then it all delightfully clicked with me :).

 

 

Because a few months ago, out of a SWB 89 breaker i pocketed the tyre pressure gauge piece you see below, totally mint and in a clear packet.

Not sure what to make of it, i got home but couldn't shed any further light with googling, etc and thought it must be a universal item but the kg/cm2 markings did get me thinking :confused:.

 

It does seem i have stumbled across, albeit small/insignificant........something quite rare, please feel free to tell me otherwise ?

 

nice find mate,, my compressor broke.

Does it still work?

I too have the compressor... and the SWB-specific alloy spacesaver... :)

 

Never seen that tyre pressure gauge before though! I'll have to have a thorough investigate in the boot, methinks....

I've got one of them too, it came out of my old black SWB as did the compressor etc....which still works!

I have one also

Oh......not all that rare then but something i am pleased to find and will look after :).

I don't have any of these :sad:

Yup. Mine is still with the compressor kit in my SWB.

I picked up this as well, thought i had the spanners, etc, because i do have another bag, but it appears not - it does remind me of when my mum bought a brand new Nissan Sunny in the 80's, exactly the same kit was with that iirc.

 

Please note the screwdriver is not i don't think Nissan, should the supplied one have 'NISSAN MOTOR' on like it has on the spanners, pliers ?

 

I'm sure I have the same screwdriver in my kit so may be genuine

Following on, i did try and buy a grey coloured SWB space saver - i don't know for sure but i think this may be specific to the convertibles.........anyway i didn't manage to get my hands on it but i have now got the spare alloy type i talked about earlier in this thread :cool3:.

 

Here it is in the foreground below, the tyre on it, although it keeps its psi, is badly cracked but luckily the tyre on my original one in the background is pretty much mint so i'll have the 5J's swapped over, so this is both of mine inflated.

 

 

This below is the unsexy steel one and i am pretty sure this will NOT go on my fronts if need be because my 15mm hubcentric bolts are proud for one thing.

 

 

Whereas i'm pretty sure the alloy type one pictured below will by the looks of it go on all four because of the cut-outs, incidentally i did think there was a difference in weight when i was handling and so it proved - the steel one weighs 15kgs.......the alloy one below weighs 12.5kgs, win win all round ;).

 

Had the tyres swapped over so i have now a perfect bit of rubber on the alloy space saver, dressed it when it was briefly inflated and for closure here we are :).
