sa-weeet

plans are changin design wise, my mate was having a look at Podlewski's trailer

fold up ramps = no need for tilt = cost saving

ka-ching ka-ching

yeah, but did you see him putting it on the trailer, front bar was nearly ripped off, but i guess yours aint as low as his, and i dont see how making ramps would work out cheaper than tilt, you sort of need both, and remeber that big ramps = more weight to tow around

yeah, and we've already considered how not to do it after seeing that LOL. The cost saving is purely on that the price he'd given me already hadnt factored ramps (as they were going to be the last thing made anyway), plus you have to have some way of tilting (either a jack / air bag system / etc). The need to not have to tilt has made it a lil bit clearer now :thumbsup: Tilt will still be an option for his future constructions though.

ramps will be made slightly differently to simon's trailer, just the same sort of idea (hinged half way). Luke was talkin bout makin them out of aluminium as opposed to steel anyway (light weight but strong)

Matty, when i see you next i will explain how simple tilt is to make, as i use to make many different styles of tilt, but sort of need to know you basic design to see if it could work, and im more than happy to help out if reqired.

What you think? New from Nissan or just grab one from the wreckers and save some $$$?

Dont get second hand suspension parts (that wear - anything with ball joints etc.) - order a pair of new ones and enjoy the improved ride quality. Some cars chew through tie rods quicker than others (my old valiants were only good for 40,000km if I was lucky) but the improvement when you replaced them was very noticable.

windows vista os composed of 100% pure fail.

farkin, been working on putting some music on a dvd for about 2 hours, havent even got the first discography on the f**king playlist yet. stupid vista. like i said. fail.

i thought we were destined to bad lock due to AWD

could always go aftermarket ikeya formula items. Get more steering lock.

maybe your hardware only just met the minimum requirements there fore vista would run like crap, Cubes says vista isnt too bad

its jam packed full of errors and fail. never using it again.

EDIT

oh i keep sending people on my msn list some sort of spam email

ive checked for virus's trojens only cam up with 6 in avast and got deleted and about 22 in search and destroy and got rid of them and adaware found nothing :cheers: im stumped oh and all these spam mail's aren't in my sent box

Last night I was sitting at home contemplating a quiet night on SAU. An hour later im in a stretch hummer with MC Mayhem, DJ Spin Doctor and DJ Demise, on our way to Live (old night train) for some RNB party.

Myself and Chad had a couple of quiet beers, while our friend Miss R33 had, well, quite a few too many :cheers: Was very funny to watch

Interesting.. The bikes aren't all that much quicker than the a mildly tuned skyline with decent tyres.

Riiiiiiiight! :)

Hmm, thats what we hear the wishful drifters say all the time after our daytime track sessions.

A CBR1000R with slicks ridden by a decent A/B class racer = 1m07s

C/D class racer semi-slicks = 1m14s

V8 Supercar driver = 1m08s

Production car racers = 1m24s

And the average joe in his skyline is also running around those 1m24s times. 10 seconds is alot when it comes to the track. :D

think Joel means your average shmo with a straight street bike against a skylines with sticky street tyres and maybe boost wound up nothing hard from each camp

And are we putting this average street rider with a stock bike against an average driver with an average car?

Or is it only the Skyline driver with the sticky tyres and boost allowed to have the advantage?

:D

Only recently they pit a worked Monaro against a stock Triumph 675 at Phillip Island, and the Triumph won! And we don't consider the Triumph anywhere near a match for something like a CBR or R1 or ZX10 or GSXR.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
