as thread says...

need to get my shitter tuned when i get my nisstune done

a)does a stag FIT on a car trailer

b)will a stag be able to tow another stag (

c)kidafa whats ur towbar rated to?)

d)kidafa... both a and b being yes... ur towwing me :D

I towed my stag with my mates BA falcon ute. It fit quite happily on the servo-hired trailer. It did hang off the back a bit though but the weight was still centred over the wheels so no biggie. We worked out that the poor 4L engine was dragging along near 4tonnes of lard

The towbar was only rated to 1600kg :D

The ute handled it fine, except for the exhaust snapping off half way home from Canberra to Sydney. I think that was just an interesting coincidence rather than load-related though

I used my brothers Ford Ranger, 2.5lt turbo desiel 2x4 ute, to tow my stagea once before. It did it fairly effortlessly. The stagea just fitted on the trailer I used, the ass was hanging off the end by about 600mm.

Just make sure you check the trailer your going to use will let the nose of the stagea sit over the front rail if you need it to. I had to sit mine over a little to get a good weight balance on the tow ball.

There are a few people that use their stagea's to tow track cars, but they would be lighter than a stagea, as long as you used a good dual axel braked car trailer and set it up right I don't think there would be a problem using a stagea to tow. It's only going to be a shortish trip anyway isn't it

Saw a Stagea towing an R33 once. Also watched it sway left and right down the freeway.

Depending on your state laws about legal towing limits. If you're towing a Stagea with a Stagea then you're over the limit.

Makes it easy for the police to work out you're over the limit.

Be smart about it or your could lose 2 cars and a trailer. Or some points and a fine.

Just over the QLD border the NSW police used to make people leave their trailers where they got stopped.

It's your choice and that was just my 2 cents.

how far do you actually need to tow the car?

last time i got one of my cars towed, morphett vale - marion it only cost $40.00 thats less than the cost of hiring a trailer

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
