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

good to see another stag with mint wheel fitment

hey mate nice to see another good lookin yellow stag, I'm gettin some 18x8's on next week with an offset of +20 so ill chuck up some pics when they are on,

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
