Yeah i think he was talking close to 1k above a normal trailer for the same thing.

You'd probably save in things like fuel if your towing weekly and even wear and tear on the tow car (towing less weight) but if your using it once every few months, then i dunno know.

yea want a r34 gtr

they are the first stepping stone to it

you want 34 GTR, and I want 1 less 34 GTR. we should talk. how many 31s will you give me for it? though I guess in your eyes a good 31 is worth 2 or 3 R34s so I'm probably out of luck...

and on a serious note, 34 wheels are awesome. I had some on my last 32 GTR and loved 'em. and they look hot on S15s too. trying to track down a cheap set for my mate. I bought an S15 for him, and it desperately needs some wheels. it's white too and they look sweet on white.

Did you buy me a S15 for xmas?

I will go buy some vaseline to repay you :P

I've been looking at trailers for a bit now and I came across this from a magazine, little more expensive than the trailers I have seen in the last 9 pages but it seems good to me.

It would be used to tow an R32 GTST which would be stripped to the bare minimum for drifting, probably weighing around 1100kg :santa:

What do you guys think? Also im in Darwin so im wondering if there is a hefty delivery charge in there too?

An all aluminium trailer for 1 grand above a steel trailer,,,I'd like to see that.

I'll take 3 and ship 1 to N.T. for mitch.

guys,

wondering if you can give me some advice on which electric winch to have for the trailer, i am looking through the web and there are some many.

What specs should i be looking at to pull up the car?

Rolling it would not be that heavy but thinking if worse comes to worse an crash or cause something that won't let the car roll what will be able to drag it up onto the trailer?

Car - S14a i have not weight it but would be around 1200kg or less.

Matt

we mostly use the cheapy 1000kg/2000lb super cheap ones. around $50-100 and specs similar to:

Specifications:

1) Rolling capacity: 6,000lbs

2) Marine capacity: 5,000lbs

3) Pulling capacity: 2,000lbs

They can be painfully slow but are adequate for pulling even a heavy car up. We have used them for cars with good wheels/flat or broken wheels/on dollies or jacks/no wheels(dragging).

We have now upgraded to something bigger but even the cheapest ones are good enough to drag up a skyline.

The new winch is 2000kg stationery, something like 6t rolling.

Got it when

a/ we didn't have a winch

b/ the car we had to move rolled 6 times and had 2 wheel torn off.

Its overkill though the small ones are fine.

sounds like you guys might need to invest in a flat bed truck with a high-abb.

Hook and keeper or s-hook ratchets and why?

My tie down points (eye bolts) are suited nicely for s-hook but not at all for hook and keeper style ratchets. I could use a d-shackle to make it ideal but I see plenty of s-hook style ratchets that are easily rated above what I need.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
