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:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
