Lol while this thread is up in the new stuff i am not so proud to announce the Tow Car has been EPA'd......... Lol WTF! Its a turbo Diesel!

Apparently excessive noise so its booked in for a test!

lucky you're not in QLD! Excesive noise is one of the offences covered by our new anti hoon legislation. Your car can be taken for 90 days for a first offence and confiscated and either sold or crushed if a second hooning offence is committed within a five-year period. Second offence doesn't have to be the same car either. How good is that?

I was thinking about moving to QLD, now I don't really want to :( Fark those are some steep penalties

Jimmy, call CIL they do more caravans and motor homes but also car trailers. I had a quote off them 2 years back and were cheaper than Shannon's, they are a sister company to Shannon's too.

In other news...forgot to post...Santa Fe went on a tow truck and back to dealer. Fuel pump died!

All good and a warranty job. Great service and no issues.

Also managed 7.9l per 100 on the weekend

Towing this weekend to smp. Thank f**k not to Wakefield! Getting over that long drive!

Looking at getting a VY SS ute. Surely someone here has towed with one of these before, looking for info on how well they tow. Wouldn't be doing heaps of towing with it, taking my R32 to drift events 3-4 hours away. Any idea on a rough fuel economy would be great also, cheers.

Oh the one I am looking at is the 6 speed manual not the auto.

well i use a bf xr6 turbo 6 spd auto ute to tow now, tows much better than my old fg xr6 sedan used to, much more stable plus much more room for tools, lunch, fuels, etc would go a ute anyday!

    • @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?
