Who had the wheels off last? They could have just forgotten to tighten one of the nuts and its come off?

Nah... its much more fun to hate those thieving bastards :)

it wasnt loose, i checked them after i bought the car, so they were all tight, plus like i said i didnt drive the car for 3 days and it went missing before i drove it again.... anyways im over it so pissed off but need to just replace it

that blows. I cant see why someone or even how they would steal one wheel nut?! I mean they'd need to be carying a bar and 19mm socket and then why stop at one? whay not take em all, or take 4 off each wheel? I reckon it just fell off.

I will try and see if I can get one nut for you.

They look like the short ones in the photo.... they are about ummm few cms long I guess??? The longer ones actually stick out from the rims a good few cms once they are tightened....

Il grab one off the car when head there unless your around Penrith at all then you could possibly stop at the workshop and take on off yourself a bit earlier??

I reckon there could be two reasons you're missing a nut

- Someone just wanted to be a dick and stole 1 nut

- Someone was trying to steal your wheels but was interrupted and left quickly.

yeh i was thinking those, but also one more:

-some loser was missing one and decided he'd take one of mine... (doubt it tho)

Kids these days....

When I was a kid I used to see a nice car and stop and stare - not throw eggs at it...

We need to put up a Youtube video of the public castration of a little egg throwing, rays wheel nut stealing bastard! That'll teach em! :)

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
