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 now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.
