I know this is a bit OT, but i reckon you guys might be able to help me...

I just managed to bend one of the leaf springs on my car trailer. Reversing onto the front yard i drove over a pair of rims i had left sitting there. One got stuck between the wheels on the trailer and forced the axle forwards, bending the spring Slam

Anyone know if i can straighten it out without weakening them/risk it breaking later on?

I have an oxy torch/forklift/gear at work...

Otherwise I have to try and find a replacement tomorrow so i can still make it on Sunday :curse:

I think supercheap have trailer stuff, not sure if they have springs tho? :)

Sorry to hear that mate.We all have bad stories to tell about our crappy reversing skills.

I had to buy a new letter box after I repeately slamed the trailer up against it one night. So don't feel bad.

A leaf spring is a spring and if you heat one of them up it will turn to cast iron and break. Don't do it.

You really need to buy a newy. Northern beaching ,,,nope sorry can't help.

lol that's the next thread....."show me what you reversed your car trailer into". mine was the front gate, although to be fair the clearance is about 10cm either side its pretty tricky in the dark.

So I take it your happy with the trailer big boy. I would be disappointed If you weren't.

Give it a good paint,,,look after it and it will give you years of enjoyment.

Nice rims by the way,,,.

who kneed a jockey wheel knob

don't lie, you love jockey's knob...

you gonna slap those 34 rims on ya ford or what?

yea want a r34 gtr

they are the first stepping stone to it

haha, nice plan. Kinda why i bought a model R35. They say the first step is the hardest so should be a piece of pi$$ from here!

back to trailers, went past Unique Trailers the other day, and Peter just finished his first aluminum trailers. Light as, you can lift it off it's front axle from the front by yourself. Still has to do a bit of testing on it, but the best part is no rust!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
