hey, i'm not sure if i should cross-post in the 'marketplace' forum but i figured this is as good a place as any to start. anyway, i lost my tire iron and need a new one. i'm bad with terminology, so i attached a pic of what it should look like. i believe nissan and infiniti tire irons are all standard, so if anyone has a spare or has one lying around that they are willing to give / sell, let me know.

i've looked in standard auto stores and they just don't have the rights size. more important than the lug size is the diameter of the rod, since i have to be able to slide that into the hole on the end of the tire jack. if you take a look at your own tire jack (assuming you have a j30), you'll see what i'm talking about.

if there is another forum i should post this message in, let me know.

i've got a t-bar with several sizes and that works fine for taking the lugnuts off. what i need the tire iron for is to raise and lower the tire jack. in the picture above, the sharp end goes into a hole at the end of the tire jack so that you basically insert, rotate, remove, repeat. i didn't think that finding the proper tire iron would be such a pain. anyway, i guess i'll visit some junkyards.
