A friend recently has had a set of chrome wheels stolen off a Nissan 180SX - were only 3 months old - they were stolen on Wednesday the 2nd of October between 12:30 am - 6:00 am from the Underdale area in ADELAIDE SA. The wheels were: Chrome 18"x7” 4 studs BSA CAM 246 racing 3 piece wheels, with chrome centre cap and gold BSA logo in the centre. New Toyo 205x18”x7” low profile tyres were fitted.

An old dark green Celica TA22 - 1970's / 1980's model - with "P" plates was seen following, in recent days before the wheels were stolen.

These wheels would be rare, and fit similar cars like 180SX's, Silvia's, non-turbo R32 & R33 and Lancer EVO4's with 4 studs.

Could you all printout and to keep a lookout for these wheels. If you do see or have seen the wheels and/or the dark green "P" plate Celica, could you contact Miss180 on 0401 029 651 or my email

To the thieves who have the stolen wheels, if you have any consciences in your heart to return them, you can contact 0401 029 651 on a public pay phone for the stolen wheels convenient pickup locations, and no further actions will be taken! We would appreciate that you take this option!

I have attached a picture of the wheels for you all to click on below.

Lock nutz are all well and good but most ppl only have one. This means u can remove all the other nuts and then just lever and snap the last one off or even go to town with a chisel and a bigass hammer. U really cant stop em but it would get rid of the amatuers and slow down the pros. This is if the dont have the key socket in the first place.

If u see someone following u dont go to ure house just drive around in circles so they know u know and they should give up.

Hey Boostzor,

Thankyou for your good suggestion to have two nuts, makes sense :)

Graham :rolleyes:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
