Has anyone ever had any experience with "Kwikload" trailers?

Check out a short movie clip showing how to load the trailer.

Goodwork posting those up Russ, we got a fair bit done yesterday/last night.

Yes the side rails have been lowered 90mm, although the guards have dropped on 50mm, as the new guards will be cut flush to the top of the rails instead of sitting under. We wont have any dramas opening door on this trailer!

Were planning to have some toolboxes mounted up front, as well as a couple of Jerry can holders.

Material for the tyre rack has been ordered, should have that done within a week.

Duncan, any chance of some pics of your chain and D-Shackle setup? Sounds good.

trailers like 31 always need fixing

anyway my new trailer turns out the suspension tryed to remove itself lol doddy old repar job

anyway 3 hours and about about 15 tig rods later ( we have suspension again)

yea baby

basically the centre bracket ripped itself off on both sides and the leafs were just flopping around

funny thing is that the trailer towed perfect for the last 3000km

I remember these when they were first released, Adam (cant think of his last name) had just got the Ford drift car and one of those trailers. Was a nice piece of gear looked good and easy to get the cars on/off, but that was 5+ years ago now. As for towing they used a landcruiser and said they had no troubles.

Sorry no first hand experiance with them myself.

lol @ signature indeed!

You have read it so now I can use it, so look out when I finally get to the track and you have something I like/need :D

Serriously those trailers were a nice piece of kit, however at the time the were way to $$ compared to what else was available.

Yeah, they're pretty expensive... I saw a demo Kwikload trailer advertised on eBay for $7000. Looked the goods though!

What about these ones?

I need a light trailer.... 400kg to 500kg.... and it has to be dual axle for stability.

The place that I got mine made at (www.uniquetrailers.com.au) located at Hoxton Park were about to start making aluminium car trailers the week after I picked up mine (red trailer in the pics). I think the cost for them was going to be about $5k but a fair bit lighter than steel.

Hey fellas,

ended up getting a cheap trailer a month or two ago from http://www.positivequalitytrailers.com/

Not flash, but does the job. Going to replace wheels/tires.

also talked to this guy for a bit - made some nice gear... http://www.blstik.com.au/

I dont have those clearance lights either Neil, infact that trailer looks 99.9% identical to my trailer (I wonder if UniqueTrailers made that and sent it up as they send a truck load up every week).

the guy up there on the sunny coast makes him himself so i guess they are probably built of the same certain plans you buy on ebay and the like! lol

yeah i was thinking about adding some lamps !

Hey Michael I have the exact same trailer. Excellent value for money seems good quality and tow's really well. Just as you said though I will be changing to light truck tyres for extra peice of mind. Other than the tyres i couldn't be happier with it.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
