I take it all back Matt - falcodores are clearly the best tow cars. god only knows what their engineers were thinking when they limited them to just 1600kg without load stabilisers and 80km/h at their max tow rating. While the big 4WDs get much higher tow ratings without any caveats. falcodores tow better, stop better and crash 4 times less often than 4WDs! lol

Have they broken you Harry???.

Whilst we tow with an EF Falcon wagon I would never ever say it's a tower's delight. It crap but I don't want a bloody 4WD sitting in my driveway doing nothing.

And NOW we have these rich bastards posting the great attributes of Euro 4WD's. You blokes are kidding yourselves,,,just can't wait till that control unit fails again,,,and why are you guy's using the 4 ring circus crap when clearly an X5 has been the euro daddy for over 10 years now. I very confused.

Cheers

The old man is selling his f truck if anyone is looking for a good tow rig. Privately hoping it doesn't sell so I don't lose access to it though!

I am looking at getting a new car and will need to be able to tow my R33 GTR, has anyone had any experience with the new Kia Sorento. I would be looking at getting the Platinum in diesel. 2000KG towing capacity

There is also a G6E turbo coming up soon at work (ex company car) which has a heavy duty tow bar. 2300KG towing capacity

Would any of these cars be good for towing??

Cheers in advance

I've had my 2003 3L TD Navara for 6 months now, still living the dream, tow my 33 about once a month. Doesn't use much juice as long as I'm not in a hurry :) It's my daily too, get around 750kms from a tank, mostly because I drive like an old man though.

thats not bad, my BT-50 gets 700km per 55Lt.thats when the light comes on, tank is 70Lt so there is easy another 100-150km in it

Towed my 33 with my little BT-50 ute the otherday..I thought it might struggle a bit, but quite the opposite, it towed it like a champion...overtaking on the freeay and all..

Tows better than my mates Foulcan ever did. :thumbsup:

calling neil

how is the falcoon old son

time for a 4wd?

nasty....at least the stages was close enough to rescue the trailer. funnily enough the stagea pulled the foulcan up catherine hill too.

but i bet a foulcan motor is shitloads cheaper than a stagea, or even a q7 motor.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
