Hi all,

I need your help, just removing my standard 260rs suspension to MCAS and have bumped into a dead-end, the rears are done but I am having issues with the front, all bolts are removed however on the bottom I have what looks like a cover, I can't remove it. I've removed the nut on the bottom but can not see the other side. Please see picture attached. any help please?

 

Thanks

I think Duncan is saying that the picture doesn't necessarily show too much as it's too close.. if you give a picture of the whole area so we can identify what is what, people can help..
alternative to that, where are you located ? A kind person may be nearby that can drop in point a few things out and be on their way.. their is definitely a lot of helpful peeps here from my short and limited experiences :)

Hi all, so I was suppose to getting Di e by my mechanic but his booked out... so I thought I'll try again... same issue I can't find the other end of the bolt.

I've taken the nut off on the other end but struggling to find the bolt. it looks like a cover and I've tried to lightly tap it out but there is no movement.

OK, got it now. You've got the nut off, but the shock is still in place, and you are trying to remove the "bolt" that the bottom of the shock is on.

So it's actually a stud, not a bolt, and it's not meant to come off.  Just pry lightly between the shock and the upright to push the shock off the stud. A big screwdriver or small pry bar will do it, dead easy.

      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!
