Hi ppl,

Heres a run down of what happened, yesterday morning house cleaners came over my place, for some cleaning, i opened the garage door n let them in. As i had to go to work they told me they would close it. As my housemate was there i didnt bother that much my rims were in the garage. During lunch time my housemate went to pick up his gf n had lunch took 3 hrs. When he came back the house cleaners were gone, the afternoon appoinment for CARPET cleaning was finished, my garage door was closed n rims were GONE!

I called both the carpet n house cleaners n both denied taking them. What should i do? Maybe some one came by saw the garage door opened n took them? VERY-VERY pissed, they were 6 months old.

There are 18" Lenso Muse Rims (silver chrome) with falken tyres. I need a favour from u guys, if u hear anyone selling this rims please let me know. I am reporting this to the police tomorrow.

that's shocking man!

for someone to walk past, see the garage door open and pinch the wheels is a hefty job. They would've heard people inside and probalby wouldn't have had the guts to do it, i know i wouldn't... but i aint a thief, so i don't know how they think.

Was there anybody else who knew that nobody was going to be home? It just seems too far fetched that someone walked past and saw them and nabbed em! I'd be looking at the cleaners personally... but that's what i think. Best of luck man!

thanks guys,

i already called the people of both the house cleaners and carpet cleaners, both denied on taking them. I know that my rims are pretty common, and chances of getting them back r zip! But its farked tho, broad daylight, 4 rims n no one saw! Guess we have to be careful of everything nowadays.

yes trust no one indeed, thats what u get for being an honest tax paying bloke, get farked over! dang... still pissed, no the house was rented SirSkyline. They were my bling rims actually, i already have a set of 17" on for drag n track days.

But do you have contents insurance on the rented house ???

If the house cleaners were gone first,did u ask if the carpet cleaners saw the rims?If not then most likely it could of been them. But then again there's no proof.

I doubt that somebody would happen to stroll along and with a blink of eye see a set of rims and tax em,whilst u have a bunch of people working at your house.

Anyway man i'll keep an eye out for yah!

thanks a lot ppl... n SirSkyline, no i dont have contents insurance on the house. Bad luck... just happened again... read the next thread.

Mate get some contents insurance it will only cost you 20 bucks a month and then if it happens again your covered

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
