The stealth of it is sick. Custom tow bar I assume?

Yes customized and built from scratch pretty much after finally finding a local towbar supply and install place that was willing to do something "different".

Very happy with it for sure 👌

Do you mind if I ask how much this cost to get setup? 

Currently I put a rear rack on my bike, load up a duffle bag and ride to the track. The ride home can get a bit sketchy with how exhausted I am, if this isn't crazy expensive it would be a much better option for sure.

It cost me $2900 all up for a local trailer / towbar place to supply and install. I did think it was a bit steep initially but after all the work involved and seeing the final result I think its well justified. 


Hardest part was finding someone willing to customize and fit it up with trial and error basically.

Whereabouts are you located? - I had my work done locally in Wangara.

It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!

Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing. 

I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

Given the absence of lower parts, I'd suggest that they are just draped over the backrest for aesthetics in the photo.

I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.

Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side.

My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
