Tow Or Car Trailer Hire

[Cubes]

Hi ppls,

I've rang around the southern tow places, some are silly priced some are well priced, the well priced are unable to tow the car tomorrow afternoon. 3:30 onwards.

Does any one know of a car trailer hire mob that are well priced or a flat bed tow mob?

you can genrally pick up a car trailer from the local servo for around 40-60 bucks for around 5 hours if i remember correctly...

woodcroft caltex is were i got one. but dont know if they still have em.

[Cubes]

Cheerz.. I rang Caltex, $60 + deposit.

Up north there's Kanga Coachlines 83449646 - $40 + deposit.

I've managed to find a flatbed for tomorrow afternoon for $65. Flagstaff to Moana.

For future reference these are the two mobs that were well priced, pitty Down South Towing wasn't available at the time I needed.

Down South Towing - 0409696499 - Quoted $50

Daniel Towing - 0417775262 - Quoted $65

Are you with RAA? they do it for free if you say your car is busted

[Cubes]

Unfortunately no.

Come on.. this is a skyline... No need for Raa.. lol

First time I've actually needed a tow in the line, even then it still managed to limp home.

[Chris32]

I have only had to call them after I had a s/h twin plate clutch installed, and it gave up when I pulled into work!

Your right though, no need for RAA if you own a Skyline unless its a self inflicted failure!

[Bl4cK32]

lol. only time i called the raa is when my clutch pedal box fell apart as i pulled into work. Woodville to TTG for $11

Oh, and the time i put my clublock on, and then realised after shopping i didnt have the clublock key on me Needed to call a locksmith out in the pouring rain in a shopping carpark for that stupid episode ...as Chris said...self inflicted

off topic, are you guys getting increased knock on your hand controller after playing with your datalogit stuff?

[Cubes]

No.. Appears to be exactly the same..

Knock isn't any higher than ~30, I do get a knock around 4000rpm, power then goes flat until ~5000rpm where the lifters pump up and power noses over noticably.

One thing I didn't fiddle with last time it was on the dyno was the o2 feedback setting. I was going to try and lean it out a little (~15.2 up from the std 14.7) and see if fuel economy improved.

Since the GTR injectors have gone in cold starts are a pain in the arse, takes a little to long to kick and when it does it basically stalls straight away, warm is perfect. Maybe you can share your cold start enrichment.

I remember hearing your R32 doing the same upon a cold start chris... or doesn't it?

The injectors were perfect prior to the flow/clean and obviously perfect after, zero leaks all flow within 1% of each other. I replaced all o-rings and injector/manifold insulators. Zero vacuum leaks.

Fuel economy is great though.. Back down to ~10.6L/100km's.

When its up and running again (tomorrow afternoon) I'll have a fiddle with the cold start, I'm thinking it needs a little more fuel.

yer no wierd knock here, except under load as my coils are almost dead.

[DriftR_33]

My coils recently gave up on me, prior my car was showing increased

knock and got progressivly worse.
