Yep it sounds good from that perspective. What I was wondering is whether having a bed that is effectively uneven (assuming the rear wheels remain on the dropped part) makes it hard to push on/adjust location/hold while tying down etc etc.

My trailer has 3 metre ramps

They are awesome for lowered cars

No need for the beaver tail when you have very long ramps

I assume these slide up the length of the trailer and just slide out into position?

I saw a dodgy pic in your thread but didn't show too much... Needs moar pics :P

I had to go bever tail, 2.4mtr ramps, 100mm drop axles and also welded on top of the trailer bed sections of boxed gal steel so the car sat higher. Also heavily modified the trailer wheel arches so I could open the doors when I put the car on the trailer.

The tilta trailer and Nevco are way more expensive but I can see the less hassle from them.

SO I ENDED UP GETTING A 14FT X 6.6 FT TRAILER WITH BEAVER TAIL AND TYER RACK AND WINCH POST - CAME WITH WHEELS (DONT LAUGH SOME PLACES CHARGE FOR THEM) AND A SPEAR AND JOCKEY WHEEL AND RAMPS SLIDE UNDER THE TRAILER - I PAID $3250 DRIVEAWAY WITH NSW REGO WAS ABOUT $3500 IM AT WORK BUT I WILL POST A PIC TONIGHT -

I HAVENT HAVE ALOT OF EXERIENCE WITH CAR TRAILERS BUT THIS IS SO FAR THE BEST I HAVE USED DRIVES VERY WELL I WAS IN PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC IN SYDNEY WHEN I GOT IT HARDLY NOTICED AND DIDNT SWAY AT ALL ON THE HIGHWAY FROM HOME - FROM MARIO TRAILERS IS WHERE I PURCHASED IT - THEY WERE CHEAPST BY 2-300.

TILTAS TO LOOK GO BUT GOTTA HAVE THAT TYPE OF CASH - I ONLY JUST BROUGHT IT HOME SO HAVNT PLAYED WITH IT YET BUT SO FAR SO GOOD

STOP YELLING :rant: lol

Those Mario trailers sure do look cheaper than most around, my missus spotted them a while back but after reading the guys advice above about steering clear of cheaper ebay spec trailers as long term they cause more hassle then they are worth, we decided to look locally and custom...

Post some pics so we can get a look ;)

I WILL !!!!!!!!!

sorry i work with caps on wasnt even watching lol

Mario trailers isnt ebay spec? if thats what you were saying,

like i said i havnt put the car on it at all yet but so far all signs are good - picks tonight

Lol

Not picking on Mario Trailers, just that we found them on ebay in the same price range as the others (Hence why i said ebay spec haha).... They may be better quality, i have never seen one and as you can see by me being in this thread, i have no farkin idea about trailers either lol

The reason i am worried about quality as its first real run is going to be from NSW --> SA --> VIC back to NSW for the SAU NATS!

Looking forward to more detail and feedback!

yeah same her i have no idea on spec as well -

i mainly focused on the top and the weights to make sure tow was safe ect - when it comes to breaks and things from what i read most ppl have different views -

but so far carless drive trailer was very good - and the rta i went to in sydney said they were getting customers from mario trailers every day -

ranging from car - camper to box ect - and the lady at marios said shed had 3 ppl from canberra enquire and 5 purchases - thats gotta be a good sign - soon as im home wil post some pics

matt im in the same boat as you.

im looking at getting a trailer and first run is vic to sa then back!

im looking at going a tilt trailer with a hyraulic ram at the front so i can load unload my car anywere.

i hire a servo trailer atm and its so hard to get on and off, only certain places i can take it off and on.

yeah on that....servo trailers are almost always death traps. while you might use one to move something around town if you needed to, taking one on a long drive is likely to end in tears.

they are heavy, often have bent axles/bad alignment, cheap tyres, unmaintained hubs etc etc. I have seen some that are brand new which would probably be OK if you are lucky to get in before some other mug bends it, but most of them are terrible.

duncan, i hate using the servo trailer but ive had to in the past because lack of funds,

but now im going to buy a hydraulic ram tilta because servo trailers are 'death traps' as you put it.

what do people think of the hyraulic ram tilta trailers? i can get a brand new un painted tilta with the

ram and ramps and no lighting, half floor no sides, low guards, hydraulic brakes, 100mm drop axles for $2800 ?????

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
