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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
