bought my G used and missing OEM jack

i bought the car used couple months ago and i just realized that theres no jack in the trunk! theres a spare tire in the trunk but i don't c a jack and crowbar?!? i can't even take it back to da dealership and complain cuz the dealerships not there anymore! (i heard they got bankrupted!) so what would u guys do in my shoes??? should i go get a OEM jack or get one of them aftermarket one? think about buying an aftermarket one is that it wont fit into where OEM jack fits in, so it's gonna roll round in my trunk! but aftermarket ones alot easier to use! i need ur opinion!!!

My OEM jack failed on me... It collapsed under a 350z.. It may have been due to me usings it constantly on my G but it gave in on the Z I was using it on.. Sad say.

Put it in the wheel and the spare well. That's where I keep all my junk.

Buy an aftermarket one, Nissan would probably charge like $90 for it anyways and it's really not that great. Just go get any scissor jack and it ill fit in there.

It serves it's purpose (change a flat tire), but I'd never use a scissor jack for anything other than an emergency. It's not designed for regular garage work. Just get an aftermarket jack and figure out some way to strap it down in the trunk and get a floor jack for regular work.

They stored it in the left side of the trunk. Did you check there yet?

In the left quarter panel of the trunk, there is a litle panel that comes off and the jack is in there. Look in your car to find it. I bet it's there.
