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.

hmm wen are u getting the others? and are ur old ones scratched up heaps?

I think they should be only a week away???

Dont think they are scratched up??? Im going to the car on Saturday.... Il have a look.. but if you need one straight away il just grab one off mine as its not going anywhere for a couple of weeks anyhow!

Yours are the short ones yeah???

thansk rich.... let me know if u find :)

yeh i was thinking the same, but like i have said it wasnt driven.

i mean it got washed on saturday, and all nuts were there, then monday i noticed it, and didnt drive the car since the saturday

hmm not sure if they are short..

never had them before so i dont know the diff, but they look like they are longer then normal short stubby nuts..

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! :)

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
