I'm seriously considering a stagea as 2nd car for family duties (1 wife, 1kid, 2 medium dogs) but I want to be able to my SR powered 1600 track car around.

So my first question is this. What is the towing capacity of a 97 model, auto stagea. Secondly can I safely assume that tow bars (heavy duty kits) are readily available in Australia.

I don't mind if it needs a trans cooler added etc, but will 1500 - 1600kgs but ok to tow with one? Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

SydneyKid tows his R32 GTR around with his auto stagea. He also has a big auto trans cooler too.

The kits are not readily available, do a search, there was someone building these but I dont know if he is doing them anymore or not?

Hope that helps!

I paid $560 for one shipped to Melbourne.

Ended up costing me another 300-400$ to fit it because it was slighly off and needed some modifications (but hey, its made in a jig so what do you expect)...plus... the rear bar isnt exactly easy to get off :whistling:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
