Looking for a spacesaver tyre but don't want to be ripped off by Nissan?
Here's a good tip...do what I did, look for a Nissan Skyline space saver, exactly the same size tyre and fitment, I paid £20 for an unused black one...and a scissor jack is £8...sorted! Hyundai Coupe and Mitsubishi are also the same fitment as Nissan. for example: £20 eBay item number:192041740383

Wish I'd known that a few weeks ago when I got mine from Nissan!

Nissan Skyline or Hyundai Coupe will both fit. Keep looking on Ebay, you'll find one soon, hopefully local to you, or shipping with MyHermes is only around £9. If the seller doesn't offer postage ask them to ship it, sometimes they will as long as you pay the cost...the saving is well worth the effort. :)

Purchasing a brand new 18 reg. 1.2 DiG N Connecta on Friday. Present car to trade in is 2015 1.5DCi E12 Note, which I bought new. I purchased the space saver wheel and associated bits when I bought it. Question is, would that space saver wheel fit the Pulsar?

Looks like the Note maybe a 4 stud wheel hub, where as the Pulsar is 5 so wont fit if thats correct.

It was supplied new through the Nissan Dealer. Curiosity got the better of me and I double checked today. Note 4 stud holes, Pulsar as you say 5.
Interesting thing is that the dealer wasn't interested in me keeping the Note spare if I wanted it!

Seems aa good way to etc a spare then. although I don’t imagine there were TTS many skylines around.
