Penny, there's Allin Towbars in Richmond, or Halls Towbars in Blair Athol. Will set you back about $500 roughly.

;)

Does this mean you'll be transporting my race bike to the track when I need you? :)

Nissan used to sell towbars for S14's - which i didn't find out about till they stopped making them and had sold out =(

Apparently these used to fit on skylines fairly easily, but they are very hard to find. Your best bet would be to go to somewhere like sailsbury/hall/allin towbars and get them to custom make one.

I have been quoted about $450 from hall for one for my s14 (700kg rating) so yours should be a similar price, if your out north sailsbury tow bars sound a bit cheaper, was quoted about $300 for one to be fitted to a SX4.

Cool, thanks guys!

Might get some quotes soon, will be handy to have a towbar for when I cant use the ute!

Ruby you can get one for the stag!

Hmm, thought about it for a long time now. I'll be needing a work horse to tow a bit in the next year (bike to mallala, and house extension stuff).

I had a quote from Halls Towbar approx $500-$550 for my R33... Allin on Richmond Rd was nearly double or something like that.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
