hi guys looking at buying my first car trailer -

just finished reading the trailer thread and what i am looking at sounds the goods - i am only a little worried about the bed size -

i have been advised it is - tray 3.740x1.800

would this fit my R33 gtst? just want to know if it will fit and be suitable ? has cover front end and ramps fold up..

if anyone has a trailer with similar bed size could i have your opinion.

thanks

No I don't believe it will fit.

Measure your car from the very front to the very back, then measure the width of it.

Having the front cover will reduce the amount of over hang you can have at the front and likewise having foldup ramps will also reduce all the rear overhang you can have there too. Actually I don't think you will be able to have any trailer that has fold up ramps.

long way from Canberra - but thanks

Eastern States problem!

They ship these things for a few hundred.

If Canberra is too far from QLD then Perth Western Australia must be another country. :) There are literally everywhere over here and great resale value. One was on the market last week for about 2 hours as I understand and was sold at a price not far from new.

I swear by these trailers, takes me about 7 minutes to load/unload trailer on my own with a R33 GTS-T. Drive up, tie downs on front wheels and lock pin at the front.

To be honest any other trailer is just frustrating to use, dirty and hard to load.

so at that price pint your not far off a basic nevco

you are miles away if you are comparing apples with apples. The Tilta with a few option would come in at $8k rego and GST

Nevco price: http://www.nevco.com.au/products-services/specialty-trailers/

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
