If you mean can a ford flat tow it, yes it will, but its illegal and if the car you are towing is an auto it will f**k the auto.

Try this guy, roachs towing service 97863375 or 0414863375 me and my mates have used him a few times, good service and isnt much (if any) more than hiring a trailer but saves all the hassles.

Ford will tow it without a problem and it wont f**k the Auto. I have towed many cars with fords and como's. The braked towing capacity is usally about 1600kg. If you exceed this it is illeagal. find out the recomended braked towing capacity first.

You only need to ask yourself this question. Is the cost in fuel, trailer hire and wear and tear, rachet straps and risk of damage less than getting a tow truck. If yes tow yourself. Call around and get your prices for trailer hire costs etc. Then call Jack and only Jack from City Wide towing and tell him your a member of SAU and ask for a quote for a tow, his number is 0419 877 437.

Good luck with it all.

I've got a ford falcon and have hired a trailer many times and pulled cars, it's no biggie and wont hurt the auto :)

both of you mention a trailer, that is not flat towing, also as i said, if you flat tow and car being towed has an auto trans it will f**k the trans.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      Living With An R33 Gtst

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
