Hi Andrew

What was the final cost with fitting and all electrics?

Look forward to seeing a picture of the back of the car. I might take mine to him soon if i can afford it.

Cheers

Basicly it has no load rating. He just said it would be good for 2000kg and 150 on the ball.

Ill try get some pics of it but I really need to take the bar of to get any deceint ones. It does look a bit better than the Fast fit one tho

I'd be interested to see it. If it's rated to 2000kg; there should definitely be some visible structure under the boot area, otherwise it's not really going to be much better than the Fastfit bar.

I am going to go see the guy at Locset over the weekend in Ringwood. He has advised that he can do the job for me but it has been a little while since he has done one for a stagea.

Lets see what he can do and would be interested to see what price and what setup he will build for me. :yes:

I presume it will be a similar setup to what you guys have above and will be used to tow the race car!!

That's who done mine. Ive towed my HQ a few times with it. 2000kg all up. 1300kg car 700kg trailer. On flat roads it struggles so never took it to far, only around 30km from home. Fuel economy went through the roof in that short distance. It also wore the inside edge of the rear tyres funny.

Ive brought a F350 tow truck to tow it now, just in the process of putting it on club reg.

Hi dasic1

I have just updated from a R31 skyline wagon to my C34 stagea rs4s. But i am towing a mazda RX3 so not as much weight as your 'Q'. I am hoping that it will tow well considering my total weight with race car and trailer being more like 1400KG to 1500KG max.

I presume that the Guy in Ringwood will still be able to help me out and it doesnt matter what model stagea it is? He seems to be able to custom build what ever you need from talking to him on the phone. But time will tell when he see's my car and I see the quality of his work. My one concern is from a engineering perspective and i want to know where the mounting points are going to be put on the body chassis rails of the stagea. :unsure:

All tee'd - up for next week after seeing Locsed on the weekend. He will do a 2000kg rated towbar as per our discussion on weekend unless something unforseen comes up for C34 stagea. He will have to cut the bumper but it will be a small neat square hole as the car is already lowered and i need the height to be correct for the towball.

I said to him that it had to nice a neat and i dont want electric's handing out on the bumper, they will be in the boot and i will pull them out of spare wheel well when i need to plug in the trailer.

:rolleyes:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
