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! :)

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
