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! :)

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
