Can you even get them for Skylines?

Im only going to tow my new pit bike which is really light.

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.

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it

      Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days

      RB25 Drama's

      Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By oxisau · Posted

      I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
