trunk sub floor organizer - molded plastic thing...

okay, I had some mod money burning a hole in the wallet...spent the $40.

I turned the spare tire over, fitted the plastic tray no problem but the OEM centre wheel holding bolt is far too long and won't work with the tray. Is there a shorter centre bolt for use with this plastic tray that holds the spare in place?

If I don't fasten down the spare, it's going to thump around down there!

I can make something myself, but OEM Nissan should be better - SHOULD being the key word here

spare tire tray comes with new shorter bolt - it looks that NISSAN is better than you think

Drat! I had a relative pick up this item for me in USA, they took it out of the box to allow for more room in their car driving back to Ontario....I think they might have tossed out the shorter bolt

I'll make my own holding device - McGyver style.

I was just going to use a nail gun, but your idea sounds more fun

Yes it stops the "dip" but it is pretty useless in my opinion. I store nothing in there except the first aid kit my car came with. Anyone have ideas on what to keep in there. It is below the trunk liner and trunk mat that again... came with my car

beef jerky, when youre stuck in traffic send the little one to climb in thru the back seat and retrieve the jerky.

A gun works too

I keep an extra set of contacts in my first aid kit with a Condom.
because you never know when someone might need a condom.
and a airline travel size of 151barcardi

You got TRUCK liner and TRUCK mats? Nice!

I keep safety flares, emergency tools (came with the car), old dealer maintenance receipts (as proof I took good care of the car), and my old lug nuts since I have non-OEM wheel locks on my car. I should probably move my OBDII port-to-USB adapter in there as well.

I also have a basket, not in the sub-floor organizer lol, for containers of cleaning supplies, spare engine oil, windshield washer fluid, fire-extinguisher, spare umbrella, and winter gloves.

I dunno, I tend to be slightly over prepared and a bit of a pack rat.
