Hi all,

New to the site as of today and located in Perth. I have a 2004 model V35 GT 350 coupe and looking at fitting a towbar to the vehicle if it's possible ( preferrebly 2 piece ). Has anyone done this before or have some information that may assist me?

I have spied another post which talks of wiring a socket up for the lights o/p located at the rear of the vehicle to support the lights of a trailor, but not a lot of other details listed.

These cars have an alloy rear subframe that was welded by Stevie Wonder.

What are you looking to tow with it?- a little box trailer with occasional garden stuff, or a very SMALL boat, you might get away with it. Otherwise you'll just crack the subframe and be up for $.

If its auto, you then have to look at a cooler. You are better off getting a old ute/fourby to tow and leave the 350 for cruising!

Thanks guys for your replies!

My car is a 2004 Semi-Auto V35 coupe. I want to buy a new jet-ski and really that's all i want to tow with my car. I really dont want a tow bar permanently visible on my car, so i did a bit of looking and there is a company in the states that make a kit for the Infinity G35 which is the kit that will fit my car.

(see link below). Its a two piece kit which means it will still look good when not towing as you can remove most of what is visible on the tow kit for normal driving, cruising etc. The only problem i have now is that etrailer.com WILL NOT send outside of the US and some other related states.

I wish i knew someone in the states that i could have it sent to and then have those people send it on to me. do you guys know of anyone that might be able to assist?

I heard back from Curt Mfg ( the people that make the tow attachment earlier posted. They wont sell direct to me as they are wholesale, but they did suggest to check out one of their retailers who MAY sell to me. I will send a blanket email to the retailers and let you know what i find out.

My link

A point to note also is these Curt hitches designed for V35 coupes are only good for towing about 600 odd Kgs i think (light trailers / jetskis etc)

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
