Well, car i bought i got tyres swapped on, one of the rims has a crack in the outter edge does not go to the bead, being on the inside was prob like this when the guy bought the rims, meh, anyway.

Who repairs cracks on a drop off in the morning pick up at close of buisness basis? as i only have tomorrow off of work:

Ajax dont do cracks, Eastern have moved... Who here has had cracks repaired in an alloy wheel?(eg, 33GTR)?

Alternatively if you are a fabricator who can weld it up for me tomorrow, PM me your number.

Thanks

these guys did a spotless job on a wheel of mine, i was very happy with the price and the work they did.

i was able to leave it with them for a few weeks as i had a spare set of wheels to use.

i doubt they will do it for you on the spot, but if you tell them you need it asap they should be able to try and get it done quickly, could you not just use your spare wheel for a few days?

they won't repair crappy wheels, but if it's a factory alloy, or a good quality wheel they "should" be able to help you.

the wheel they repaired for me was an r33gtr wheel,

it had what sounds to be similar damage to yours, it wasn't a problem for them at all, and i can't see where they repaired it.

they did a great job.

the repair was on the inner edge of the wheel...

call them, they will tell you to take it down there.

      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

      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!
