I had 2 of my wheels stolen from my old car parking it outside of my house. The alarm went off in the middle of the night, and I didn't took much notice of it. Woke up in the morning and found my car on bricks and 3 wheels were gone. They almost got all 4, but I think the car fell a little bit when they tries to get the last wheel off, and that must've triggered the alarm that probably scared the thieves away. The police found a wheel down the road in someone's front yard, so luckily I only had to replace 2 wheels instead of 3.

Don't get any of those generic lock nuts as they are very easy to get off, since the thieves will probabaly have the same key.

I recommend McGard lock nuts, since each master lock nut is computer generated and need a unique key to match the pattern, while the rest of the nut needs a special key to open as well.

think about it... if you can go to a tyre shop and get them to remove them cause you lost the socket, then its obviously not that hard to get the tools.

theyre only good for the everyday cockstab whos bored and in need of some quick cash for crack... other then that... might as well just stick a note on them asking them to leave them the f*k alone or their penis or vagina will fall off cause you sprayed the wheels with TB, Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Trichomonas, Human papillomavirus, Genital herpes and Hepatitis B

its got no spoiler right?

dumped on black rims

if so, i know his brother.. goes to school with me

Can't remember the wheel colour, or about the spoiler. I remember it had orange personal plates but i can't remember what it said. If I had to guess it'd probably say 'TOSS' :O

It was a thomo east ground on leslie street, 2 mins away from Dalton rd. I also found out some more info last night that another car pulled up beside the s15 and were chatting away laughing all near my car, i bloody wish i had kept a look out for my car whilst there, i do every other bloody time. It was a car full of 'lebo's' was all i got told (2nd hand info). Doesnt give me much tho. Dont know what car they rolled up in either.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
