I have just purchased a new run about wagon/tow car so I am removing the roofracks & towbar from the Stag.

They are just no longer needed now I have a larger falcon wagon to do all my towing/transporting stuff. Which means now I can concentrate on modifying it. Anyways...

Towbar was made by Towbars of Woden & is rated at 2000kg (have paperwork)

Roofracks are Thule items and are rated at 75kg each bar I believe.

Towbar $550

Roofracks $250

To first buyer with $$$. I WILL NOT hold for 6 months while you try and sell your camira to pay for them etc.

Give you a better offer?

Mate as the seller here I think you should be making me an offer lol.

What sort of roofracks were they at Repco? Garuntee they wern't Thule, not at that price anyway.

$200 I will let them go. I won't be matching an inferior products price sorry.

BTW these roof racks have key locks and are adjustable. Once locked they can not be moved and are 100% secure & safe.

Hey mate, just a quick question did you buy the towbar for the car or was it previously fitted when you bought it? I am just wondering at what cost it was to build and install.

Cheers

gee thanks.... STILL had the money here ready to go and someone to pick it up straight away... thanks for keeping me in the loop there.

that's life i spose.....

D.

Sorry mate.

I had like 8 people interested and all were waiting for me to remove it.

I have been answering PM's for the last month or so explaining that as soon as it is off the car I will let them know.

I had even refused several peoples deposits because I was not 100% sure exactly when I would have the item removed.

I didn't want to commit to a sale and take a deposit and stuff the person around for weeks because I didn't have the time to remove it.

Anyway, I pulled it off today, updated the post stating it is 100% available on a 1st come 1st serve basis.

I started replying to PM's that it was ready to go but I had to wait several minutes between posts and this was too time consuming

(I am a busy man hence the length of time before I could remove the towbar). And I sold it to the 1st person that comitted to buying it. I am sure there is another 7 people peed off with the situation also, but I feel I did the right thing by not committing any sales before it was actually ready to be sold (hence no promises or deposits taken).

You had it advertised 8 weeks ago! :/ Of course people will be upset when you advertised it 8 weeks ago. What did you expect?

You words were:

To first buyer with $$$. I WILL NOT hold for 6 months while you try and sell your camira to pay for them etc.

But they had to wait around for you to get off your ass??? :domokun:

I advertised the item 8 weeks ago because I was supposed to have some free time then.

It turned out I had ALOT on for work & a deadline to complete the jobs and never got the time off that I was supposed to recieve untill now (several weeks later). I also had to cancell pre-booked holiday accomodation which I lost a small amount of cash on as well as several other planned events and let down a Mr's and kids, so don't think I purposely stuffed anybody around or took my time removing it as it was not a case of "getting off my ass" as you state. I had very valid reasons why I couldn't do it any sooner and I made this perfectly clear to those that messaged me regarding the bar. I told them directly that I am unsure when I will be able to remove it due to lack of time and for that reason I refused to accept a deposit or commit it to anybody untill it was actually off the car. I was working 12+ hours a day 7 days a week in order to get this time off that I now have. And to be honest now that I have the time off I just want to relax not work on cars or have to explain myself or my situation to a bunch of internet users. It was never a case of being lazy or stuffing people around. I had obligations & priorities that far outweigh the importance of any member of this site (which by the way are complete strangers to me). Sorry buddy but my business, finances & family come wayyyyyyy before some dudes feelings on the internet especially over something as petty as a towbar. I'd rather upset some users here then risk losing business & finances etc.

As I said above I am sorry to those that feel somehow jerked around and yes I do expect some people to be upset about it (I wasn't complaining I was simply appologising) but whats done is done and it was out of my hands. Anyway realistically I was not obligated to sell to anyone anyway just as they were not obligated to buy from me. I never put it on hold for anybody nor did I tell anybody it was theirs. I was upfront with all enquirers that it is still on the car and as soon as I get the time to take it off I will let them know when it is available. If this isn't good enough for anybody then PM a mod and ask to have action taken against me. Because I don't particularly want to hear it hey. I am off to enjoy my long awaited free time. Enjoy...

Anyway the items are sold.

I couldn't care less about people bitching about it, I have appologized not much more I can do.

Sooooo, feel free to lock the thread as there is nothing more to sell or say to the members here...

    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
