G'day there boys, just hoping for a bit of local knowlage concerning getting a car trailor (pre-made/built). As handy as google is id rather hear from the guys who live there and might know of some good builders, or know of any good trailors sitting around that could find its way into my ownership.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it would save me a drive from kathy to look over shops/trailors with half a chance of success.

P.s as soon as i get this trailor its game on for my skyline to start seeing the track, mainly lap sprint but am leaning hard towards some drifting for a laugh.

Haha, well i will try but that doesn't mean that i will be very impressive, however aslong as i get a good laugh out of it and have fun then i'll be on a winner.

That said there is plenty of room to run of the track if i happen to ass it up (more then likely), and since the car doesn't have a fancy bodykit i really am not too concerned about ruffing her up a little.

G'day mate, nothing posted up on either NAMSC or TEDA as far as dates go for next year. My best guess is that the track will open up some time in Feb but i can't say for sure.

As far as your dyno question sadly i have no idea but i'm sure one of the other boys will have a know, or you could read a couple of the threads here and maybe a few names might pop up.

Best of luck.

According to the Dyno Dynamics website, there's a few options listed for NT.

Can't say whether they're any good or not though (I'm in Alice Springs), or how up to date the contact info is...

How is fuel quality compared to the East Coast (Brisbane/Gold Coast). I am getting my car tuned before it comes up, should I get him to do it based on 95 fuel?

Got the same as the rest of the country as far as BP,Shell, Caltex go. 98 is everywhere =)

although it is more expensive.

I'm interested in some track days at hidden valley, many people on here go down for them?

I went to the last Street Meet Drag racing, I haven't made a track day yet but I'm keen to make one before the year is out. Any details on the next one?

    • Lol a few are like that with no intention of being reborn unfortunately. 
    • Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps
    • All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4
    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
