G'day there boys, just hoping for a bit of local knowlage concerning getting a car trailor (pre-made/built). As handy as google is id rather hear from the guys who live there and might know of some good builders, or know of any good trailors sitting around that could find its way into my ownership.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it would save me a drive from kathy to look over shops/trailors with half a chance of success.

P.s as soon as i get this trailor its game on for my skyline to start seeing the track, mainly lap sprint but am leaning hard towards some drifting for a laugh.

Haha, well i will try but that doesn't mean that i will be very impressive, however aslong as i get a good laugh out of it and have fun then i'll be on a winner.

That said there is plenty of room to run of the track if i happen to ass it up (more then likely), and since the car doesn't have a fancy bodykit i really am not too concerned about ruffing her up a little.

G'day mate, nothing posted up on either NAMSC or TEDA as far as dates go for next year. My best guess is that the track will open up some time in Feb but i can't say for sure.

As far as your dyno question sadly i have no idea but i'm sure one of the other boys will have a know, or you could read a couple of the threads here and maybe a few names might pop up.

Best of luck.

How is fuel quality compared to the East Coast (Brisbane/Gold Coast). I am getting my car tuned before it comes up, should I get him to do it based on 95 fuel?

Got the same as the rest of the country as far as BP,Shell, Caltex go. 98 is everywhere =)

although it is more expensive.

I'm interested in some track days at hidden valley, many people on here go down for them?

I went to the last Street Meet Drag racing, I haven't made a track day yet but I'm keen to make one before the year is out. Any details on the next one?

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
