Dear all,

It is with deep regret that we must part with the news that respected forum and community member, Rob G (affectionately known as Tweenierob) passed away earlier today after being involved in a fatal car accident.

We have also learnt that Harry (known by all of us as Lamb) is currently in hospital receiving treatment - his condition is as yet unknown.

Whilst we await further news of Harry, we felt it appropriate to remain closed as a mark of respect to all those involved.

Meanwhile, from all of us at Broomhill Hotel hosting the AGM, we wish to pass on our condolences to all concerned.

Yes Dunc's...two vehicles collided...two lives lost and one other seriously injured, two other vehicles were also involved in a minor role and both drivers of those vehicles were uninjured. As a mark of respect and at the request of his fiancee and family could discussion of the accident details be left till police investigation is completed. Thanks

      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!
