I have noticed spare wheel holders on ebay for Toranas and was wondering what type did the LX SL/R have.

The two types I have seen are the ones with a black plastic 'rosette' type nut and the ones with a metal wingnut type nut.

Here is a picture of mine. It is an original LX SL/R one.

Very late (around the time A9X was introduced) cars had the black plastic one, but most had the wingnut.

Did the black plastic one also have the blue plate shown in redslur's photo?

I see them on ebay every now and then but have yet to see one with the plate.

Edit: is the plate the base for the jack?

the plate is just the jack base

"just the Jack Base" but is used to hold the wheel in when the wingnut tightens it down.

Grant..

spare position for LH and LX is exactly the same. Yes duck05, I'd say that sounds about right.

With the plastic one I notice it is conical in shape so without the jack base can you tighten them down far enough to grip on the wheel centre hole?

you can on an A9X rim, not sure about others
