Aww thanks for the warm welcome 

so I purchased an aftermarket front bumper as I kinda…. Umm let’s just say had a minor mishap with my current one, however the one I purchased is just waaaay to low, I bottom out on almost everything.. I don’t know if there’s some way I can lift the front end or do I need to get bigger tyres? I hope that makes sense?? 
 

just wanna know… is it doable without making the car look wak with the front end higher?

You need to get higher profile tyres, or if your car is lowered (which it looks like it might be), put it back to standard height. Yes it won't look as low and sleek, but alas, you will be able to drive without being terrified of scraping on everything.

Pro tip for your next bumper bar - source a urethane front bar. You basically have to bring one in from the USA, and it will cost a lot, but they are significantly more flexible and forgiving. I killed 3 aftermarket fibreglass front bars before I learnt this tip, and then got a Nismo style urethane and it was amazing and unkillable. You can literally fold them in half and they spring back to their normal shape.

      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!
