KKtrips Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I want to know what happned here.. Long story short - cop saw it - didn't like it - pinkied it for a variety of things.I think it was too low, excessive camber, running on a small tyre footprint, no suspension and tyres outside the mudguards. The only valid thing really was the tyres were outside the mudguards. But the cop was decent enough that he gave 28 days compliance.. Haven't heard how the WOF check has gone though..

Chris.QCR Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hey guys! Yeah first cop to follow it after 5 months on the road. And yeah didnt like it. We had towed it to Dunedin and back with 3 mopeds. Took it to rural swap meet about 60k outta town where we tested its stability at say 200 k and it sat real good Then we loaded it up with vintage bicycles and towed it behind Josh's Valiant. Got around town all weekend with no issues then when Gal was driving it home we got 10k North of Oamaru and got stickered Reasons were Axle Angle No Suspension Tires rubbing on guards Tires Exceed guards Tires only 1/4 on ground due to axle angle! Ive read the legislation time and time again and there is nothing about ride height/camber/stretch However there is 3 words which they will always have me on. "Fit for Purpose" Ive since taken it down to the local AA and talked to the manager He is happy with 50mm ride height. He is happy with No suspension. Happy with hella flush guards provided they cover the tread of the tires.Cool with the stretched tires So now juts have to cut and shut the axles s ive only got -5 deg camber and remount guards and take it thru Its just part of having the wildest trailer on the road i guess. Will be scrapping again by end of weekend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durty Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Isn't there a speed restriction for trailers with no suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I heard it was 150mph /I don't do above 50 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have a feeling the limit for an unsprung trailer used to be 50km/h or something stupid like that EDIT: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/factsheets/13d/trailers-light-simple.html That might have gone out when they changed it to 90km/h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yeah talked to the AA man. He said no suspension no worrys. And yeah back in the day was a speed limit for them. Not now! And 200k runs are so much more fun with a slamiler on the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Seeing,s as pretty much every racecar trailer in the country is unsprung I doubt it's a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just passed a AA Pink sticker Wof!! However ive had to remove all camber. Whilst doing that i slammed it more as they had no problem with slam. So now when sitting level slamiler sits 60mm off the deck. How bad! Guards still flush. Tires still stretched. Still Boss! Gonna have a beer now as i smashed about 10 hours into changing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
