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.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
