Aww happy driving that's a longggggggggggggg trip! Hope your not doing it by yourself?

Nah. Got the missus doing some of the driving also. :rofl:

also got loads of DVDs to watch on the way there, so will be entertained nonetheless.

:)

It is the 1991 Winning GTR.

I made one mistake... I couldn't handle it sitting in the box so I removed it and shoved it in a plastic box to look at every day lol.

working good so far cheers heaps man - i will know how much better economy when i fill right up tomorrow

hey steve hows the afm going?

good looking trailer matty is that like phase one and when you get some more reddies make up a frame and put a skin on it

for those going to Blanche town i lived there for about 6-8 months when i was 18 :D boy never done so much drinking in my life - i worked in the Pub and in the bottle recyclers :D

Pete - got your pads today :D:thumbsup:

Awesome trailer matty!! :thumbsup:

We will be building one soon..Have you got specs on it in another thread?

Nah, no specs anywhere else jess, but can find out what design my mate built it from.

Basic specs i know off the top of my head (as its been built to suit my 31)

Deck (being usable area)

Length: 4.5m

Width: 2m (suits 1.8m track of my 31)

Ramps: 3m long, weight ~50kg each (mainly due to the 4mm thick mesh we used)

Axles: 2x 1.4t 45mm square axles with 10" electric brakes mounted on 6 leaf roller rocker suspension ("spring under" configuration.....could have done "spring over" but would have raised the overall trailer height by 4")

Trailer is unoficially rated at 2.8T (purely on max axle rating), but after shepparton we're getting it all looked at and the thumbs up given.

Loving that trailer.

Whats the chances of you knocking me up a nice one for a motorbike?

If you're keen for a motorbike trailer, i'll give ya my mate's number via PM and you can discuss the exact needs with him (he measured up my car to specifically build this for me, but handily suits most nissans..............wont fit a hachi or anything smaller though)

And some more piccies..............with the car loaded on

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
