Last year as part of his support of SAU-Vic, Provex aka John aka “Gadg” aka “The Vag” built us a custom BBQ Trailer. We thank John for his time and efforts as this trailer is a great base to build on. www.provex.net.au

But the project is far from complete and needs to be revived.

At the moment the trailer will store the collection of 30 witches hats, 2x Fire extinguishers, A first aid box, The BBQ boxes, The club marquee and anything else the club buys to use at events.

Here is a quick list of ideas I have for the trailer:

1. Paint it bright candy pink and add frangipani stickers – Sydney style. j/k – But a nice bright metallic colour might be the go.

2. Deck it out with some car stereo gear.

3. Create a battery system that can charge from the tow vehicle or get it’s charge from rotation of the axle.

4. Needs some rims.

5. Some form of racking / storage inside.

6. It needs some covering for the hotplate.

7. We need somewhere to keep drinks cold.

8. It could use R31 stove top tail lights which would suit the brick shape / square top shape.

9. Also I guess we need to get it registered and insured.

So at this stage were looking for donations of:

Stereo equipment

A pair of rims and tyres (4x114.3 – Early Nissan, N/A Stuff) We may look to change this to 5x114.3 so we can use Skyline rims

R31 stove top tail lights.

Also if you have any more suggestions, post ‘em up.

i might have two gtt stockies too. we'll see how i go in the next few weeks if i still need them or not. one may not be perfectly round but yeah

I also have some rims I can donate, they are 17x9 dished sparco wheels. They are not in the greatest condition (clear coat peeling) but if you were to give them a powder coat in black they would come up a treat..

Cool - Well looks like rims aren't going to be a problem. I can 2k paint those rims azza. Got any pics of them by any chance? I assume they are 5x114.3 stud patter to suit skylines?

Do-Luck - Yeah man have a chat to JB. See if they can help us out. If not no biggie, but worth a shot.

Keep the idea coming guys.

Yep - shopping list - I like.

Haha a big cannon hanging out the back of a trailer would be funny. I think it can be done. Flame thrower out the cannon perhaps

Anyone got a stupid cannon sitting around in the backyard?

    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
