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:

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
