here's a couple of my stag at Pt Broughton new years day 2009. She towed the 1800kg van with ease 15.8L / 100km and 17.8/100 on the way home with a huge head wind.

Bloody Hell Dan! I hope you didn't encounter any speed bumps along the way.

That 1800kg's definitely puts a strain on your rear suspension.

Nice towball setup though :D

Who did the fabrication and install?

I built the bar from a modified magna wagon setup, Was a pretty big job to get adequite fixings on the M35 chassis rails, wheel well & back panel. The entire setup has about 20 grade 8.8 bolts attaching it. This setup is not rated as such but from my background of electrical and structural engineering i know that the bar is not the weakest link. I am more woried anout the ally sub frame, where other have seen cracking.

The car needs some air bags for towing the van as it sits pretty low and hopefully I can get these installed before my next trip.

Overall it is a good tow car, Very happy with my stag :blink:

side skirts only sitting on hence the gap at the front, just a quick test fit of the rims from my other car and now i think they are staying for good :P 18x10+20 offsets with 235 tyres, they sit real nice actually, the rear needs to be lowered abit more before i post a pic of that.

Man that looks awesome.

Do you reckon you will get any rear rubbing with rims that wide? I am about to fit rims on my car and I would love to fit a set of fat alloys like that.

the rear offset is pretty aggressive compared to fronts, i think it shall tuck the tyre in the gaurd but the rim will stick out, hence the reason for 235 tyres so they stretch abit, this is a pic of the rear but its not low at all so when lower it will tuck in abit more. I have the car on the brick trying to get it to lower down abit but it didnt do much. the front rim on in the pic is just a 33 gtr rim.

I wont be driving the car with these on for a while yet so cant comment on scrubing etc until i test them.

^^^ you'll be right when you drop it a little, you'll gain some camber and she'll be apples - beware of inner clearance though as you'll be mighty close to the shock

here's my rears that sit the same as yours, just rear end slammed

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
