Posting on behalf of a mate of mine cause he doesnt have an SAU account.

Last night down south, Mate had the rims knocked off his S15 IN HIS DRIVEWAY. He heard the noise (of the people dropping the car on the ground) at 5AM and ran out, however they managed to get away with 3 of the wheels, there is however one wheel still on the car. The front bar is totalled, Sideskirts are totalled. Some of you may have seen this S15 out on cruises with me, Yellow coloured with Trial Style Kit and 19" 5 spoke mags.

Spotted a Blue VN Commodore leaving the scene with big chrome wheels and mirror styled tail lights, obviously were not happy to say the very least.

After a set of stocky rims that will suit an S15 Stud pattern 5x114.3 to get it in his shed tonight, at the moment the cars on the ground and were worried that they will come back for the last rim tonight.

So if anyone has a set of stocky's we could borrow to get his car to a safe spot to start fixing it up as it is quite damaged and also, so they dont come back for the stereo and everything else would be greatly appreciated

Gimme a buzz on 0400 267 299

Im in Rose Park and my mate is down south, so weve pretty much got adelaide covered.

Dude sorry to hear about the dramas, Maybe in a couple of weeks try and sell the last rim, and you never know some retard might come forward and buy the one wheel to match the 3 they either stole or bought, Just remember to ask questions like: What sorta car is it going on? Are you after this (1) wheel to have as a spare in the boot or what? Just stuff like that to get the feel of the person trying to buy!

Could be worth a shot, you never know.......

Good Luck!

i doubt they would have come back in the end anyway...

if they did theyd have to be pretty dumb, considering you and half your mates would be waiting in the bushes for em =P

good luck finding them although i dont think your gonna have much luck, get onto calias turbo or NS and have a look around, also try ebay and local pawn broker / wrecker.

Definitely lock nuts are easy as to remove..

All the more reason to buy an alarm with a knock sensor.

I've set mine fairly sensitive; a cat jumping on the car, a flick of the door handle or a light fist in to the window is enough to set it off.

Also lets me know with the number of disarm beeps what sensor has been triggered while I've been away.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
