Hi

I have for sale a car trailer I had made for my R33 drag car which is no longer in use and for the right money will sell it. It was used a handful of times and designed so the car could sit evenly and totally on the trailer with no overhang so it is very safe.

It is extremely well put together and craftsmanship regarding welds was performed by a very experienced welder of 40 years.

Dimensions: Trailer is not your basic 14' trailer but almost the same weight.

* Tow Hitch to End- 6.2m

* Tray Length- 5.3m

* Width of Tray- 1.8m + Guards

* Tow hitch is a 3500kg AL-KO

* Axles are the Galvanized AL-KO IRS Independent Rubber Suspension. Rides extremely smooth, hardly any sway, and excellent for loading low cars as the whole trailer tilts down. Front what i recall they are each rated to 1100kg ( 2200kg in total)

* No springs to replace, absorbs shock, tested for toe-in camber.

* Braking is made by 4 Electric Brakes and comes with an in car adjustable controller. They do a fantastic job of holding the trailer straight, balanced and with little effort for the towing car.

* All travelling lights, LED side lights, number plate light plus reflectors in correct locations are fitted, as well as 2 galvanized heavy duty chains.

* Has a 7 Pin rectangle plug.

* Had my R33 weighing 1600kg + ramps and was perfect, even did a 1000km drive from Syd to Gold Coast with not an issue

Structure of the trailer is as follows:

* Length Beams- 75mm x 50mm x 3mm tube

* Cross Beams- 50mm x 50mm x 3mm tube

* Steel mesh on wheel tracks of tray to reduce weight and also to allow of working under the car in the absence of a jack/ hoist etc. Also prevents any sliding/spinning when loading car.

* Ramps are currently incomplete ( usable). They consist of 4m lengths of 50mm x 50mm x 3mm of tube steel with adequate bracing between the lengths. Plans were to have the mesh on these but never had the time to complete. I do have some of the mesh available. Also being so long they also aid with loading of low cars.

* Ramps are also placed down the center of the trailer under the car and makes easy sliding and no back straining. Trailer beams are protected by heavy duty rubber carpet so ramps do not damage paint work.

* Wheels and hubs are 14" Ford stud pattern so finding replacements etc are of no issues.

* Tyres are brand new 14" light truck tyres.

* Also comes with a 900kg electric winch with remote (not fitted)

Located Northern Gold Coast. Inspections are welcome.

Fantastic trailer for the motoring enthusiast which would save you at least 2/3rd's of a newly fabricated item. No rego with this trailer, and I do not have the plate for it. (could obtain in through the trailer company I dare say)

Item is listed on ebay as well. Can either email at [email protected] or message on ebay. You could send pm here but im barely on and forget lol.

$2499 which would include finished ramps, can negotiate with ramps unfinished.

Regards

Ben.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
