Yeah I would have to say that heading up the big hill coming out of the gong is a struggle for any car.

Up mooney mooney I can sit on 100 if I really want to but I usually do about 80 to 90 up the hill.

got to love the falcon

I'm talking all the hills on the F6 from Wollongong to Sydney, not just climbing Mt Ousley.

on the BA manual, beware of redbook, not all of its figures are accurate. From memory when i was researching all manual ba-fg xr6t had a 1600kg towing limit. Clutch and box don't like the strain.

also, i much prefer the having a lot heavier tow vehicle, just imagine what its like pulling up a 2.3t trailer with a 1.5t car when the trailer brakes fail.

or even worse even if you're halfway around a bend and you need to slam the brakes, chances are bad enough of jack knifing with a 4WD, youre nearly guaranteed it in something like a falcon or commodore.

4wd all the way

if your trailers and car are close to your tow limit just add fuel and tools and your well over

not worth the risk

Sorry to bring back an old thread but i couldnt help but think how funny fatz is talking about safety. If i remember fatz car trailer was the thing of ledgend for being so damn dangerous even the tyre rack fell off one time and i had to weld it back up.

Mmmm death trailer was the reason I got my first 4wd

As a upthedatefor this thread

Q7 approaching 200k on the clock

Still tows like a mofo..loves 3 tonne out the back

Do recommend and for the f**kers above I think you can pick one up for 20k now

I must say I have been eying off a few v12 q7s as a upgrade recently

Why not the V10 Toureg, and pocket the massive difference in change? I've driven one of those towing a big arse trailer. Was like nothing was attached to it.

Excuse ignorance, but much difference between them?

v12 has 500hp

Have owned QE7 and TOUAREG V10, both very capable, V10 noise under load like rolling thunder, main difference besides size is that if you venture off road into slippery stuff , the VW will be pulling out its sister. Haven't driven V12 so cannot comment.

For under 20K I love my 4.2Turbo Diesel Cruiser. 2000 model.

Not quite as quick as Fatz pram, but if you do go off road it goes pretty darn well :P

So well that I sold the car trailer I bought to tow it so I can 4WD more instead :P

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
