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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
