Anyone Know Where To Get A Hire Truck? Tow-2-winton?


Recommended Posts

So i called up nation wide towing and the guy said he'l charge me $800 to take me from Melbourne to Bannella(Winton raceway) and then another 800 back...

Is there any campanies out there that will do any speicial services like this? but at a cheaper price? i also asked for a tandem trailor and he said it will cost 3cars for 1400 and then 1400 back.........! If so cheers.........

Reason why is i dont have anyone to Tow... And dont have a car that would tow.....

Ring Jack - Citywide towing.

Whatever Jack will charge will pretty much be as cheap as it'll get.

not only will Jack give you the best price, he will also give you the best service.

one of the worlds true gentleman...top fella.

it was at the RE dyno day just a few months ago... but you might have been fagging about in brisbane at the time :(

why not just drive to winton?

also - for $800 you could BUY a tow car

Yeh true guys, I will keep you guys imformed... Yeh but i dont know where to look? Auctions you reckon? and plus winton is next week.!

Just spoke to jack, top bloke, i asked him if he could tow me and my mate, he said yeh thats cool........but the thing is his going to Superlap on 22nd of may! so he wont be in melbourne!

Hi Guys,

Is it worth finding out if anyone will be be providing tow services at the event your going to? My car died up at Winton a couple of weekes ago and got the car towed back to Melbourne for $220 as he was coming back to Melbourne empty. Cheap as!

Possibly worth checking out as a tow sevice from melbourne would most probably go up to Winton empty anyway in a bid to bring cars back.

The guys doing the Towing the other week was Wheelers Towing - 0418 312 857.

Cheers

I would go to Hertz and hire a Hilux ute with a tow bar.

Dont mention towing a car with it . But make sure it has a tow bar.

Tell them you need it to tow a bunnings trailer or something ..cost 70 /80 bucks.

Then hire a trailer from servo for 24 hours 100 bucks.

180 plus fuel....

Are you coming on the 23rd?

Is it an option for you to drive up? We will be bringing a trailer between a few of us in the chance one of us needs a tow home but if not then it could be a possibility to trailer someone else home if needed.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
