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

I'm from that area dude I'll keep an eye out for u. I'm also still searching for my 'friend' in an orange XR6...

Cheers, dont know of the xr6, sorry mate

Which ground was it? I live in that area and will keep an eye out.

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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
