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.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
