Posting on behalf of a mate of mine cause he doesnt have an SAU account.

Last night down south, Mate had the rims knocked off his S15 IN HIS DRIVEWAY. He heard the noise (of the people dropping the car on the ground) at 5AM and ran out, however they managed to get away with 3 of the wheels, there is however one wheel still on the car. The front bar is totalled, Sideskirts are totalled. Some of you may have seen this S15 out on cruises with me, Yellow coloured with Trial Style Kit and 19" 5 spoke mags.

Spotted a Blue VN Commodore leaving the scene with big chrome wheels and mirror styled tail lights, obviously were not happy to say the very least.

After a set of stocky rims that will suit an S15 Stud pattern 5x114.3 to get it in his shed tonight, at the moment the cars on the ground and were worried that they will come back for the last rim tonight.

So if anyone has a set of stocky's we could borrow to get his car to a safe spot to start fixing it up as it is quite damaged and also, so they dont come back for the stereo and everything else would be greatly appreciated

Gimme a buzz on 0400 267 299

Im in Rose Park and my mate is down south, so weve pretty much got adelaide covered.

Dude sorry to hear about the dramas, Maybe in a couple of weeks try and sell the last rim, and you never know some retard might come forward and buy the one wheel to match the 3 they either stole or bought, Just remember to ask questions like: What sorta car is it going on? Are you after this (1) wheel to have as a spare in the boot or what? Just stuff like that to get the feel of the person trying to buy!

Could be worth a shot, you never know.......

Good Luck!

i doubt they would have come back in the end anyway...

if they did theyd have to be pretty dumb, considering you and half your mates would be waiting in the bushes for em =P

good luck finding them although i dont think your gonna have much luck, get onto calias turbo or NS and have a look around, also try ebay and local pawn broker / wrecker.

Definitely lock nuts are easy as to remove..

All the more reason to buy an alarm with a knock sensor.

I've set mine fairly sensitive; a cat jumping on the car, a flick of the door handle or a light fist in to the window is enough to set it off.

Also lets me know with the number of disarm beeps what sensor has been triggered while I've been away.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
