Has anyone one had experience in using Tyre Weld before? I hear it wrecks your tyre after it's got you out of trouble.....?

I got a nail in one of my old shitters and when i took it to get repaired he asked me if i had used that shit, he said if i had he is not going to touch it but otherwise he would repair it.

It *might* get you out of trouble, but I wouldn't be carrying it instead of a spare.

If you get a big enough puncture or a side wall tear, you may as well fill your tyre with santa snow.

For the sorts of punctures that it would fix you're better off carrying a plugging kit and pump/portable compressor, as well as a spare tyre.

crud, I took my spare out to fit my junk in the tyre well. And just chucked this can in to act as a just in case. I figured it won't help for major tyre damage.

But I'd spew if I had a leak and squirted this stuff into my $350 tyres only to find out it renders it useless afterwards.

I don't think it would do that much harm to your tyre, it just makes a hell of a mess. If you then take the tyre to be properly repaired they really need to take it off the rim and clean it all off, which is a real pain. Same goes for that green slime sh1t some people put in their tyres to prevent flats.

I don't like driving on space savers, especially if I got a flat out on a highway somewhere hours from home, that's why I keep a plugging kit in the boot. But if you shred a tyre, and don't carry a spare you are pretty well screwed.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
