Bubba mentioned towing instructions from the stagea manual in another thread 'duncans torque split........', OP it might be worth giving him a pm!

"The are plenty of warnings in the manual about how to tow and what not to do.. but absolutely no warnings in regards to the 2WD mode.."

That was for the car itself being towed..

This is like searching for the Holy Grail.

:yes:

Damn it..

The only thing I can think of now is tryng to call a japanise nissan work shop that is listed as english speaking on Nissan japans website..

I would still be super greatful if everybody that has a ownersmanual, workshop manuals or any documentation whatsoever about the car could lookup if ther is anything about towing weigts in them. The ones who finds it findes the holy Grail.. ha ha I will pay for usefull information.

ok in my owners manual it states that do not tow another vehicle that is heavier than yours.id take that as it can tow equal weight .page 197 in my manual.i dont know if this helps

My suggestion is keep the towed weight under the towing vehicle weight. Given the build of a Stagea I wouldn't want to tow too much with it.

That caravan pic from the UK is a joke, If a strong wind hit that van it'd pull the Stagea straight off the road.

I've seen a Stagea towing an R33. Got some wicked sway happening, dragged the arse of the Stagea all over the place.

That's just my opinion, but be sure to put some serious thought in to it. Because it'll be too late when it's all twisted :)

Thanks Bubba and Mike for your input and Pm:s.. It is greatly appriciated and i hope I can use it..

I am not looking for any anormus towing weights.. I just want it to tow my trailer witch is rated to 1500kg total. 1300kg is fine for me too. My rs260 is 1720kg so it is not unreasoanble I think.. But I need to prove that the Stageas body and chassie can handle it dispite the wich weight the towbar is rated to. I have ordered the 256 pages owners manual and put my name in for the workshop manual. I hope it will be available soon.

I forgot to call the workshop in japan today but will try tomorrow.

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
