On a semi related note has anyone towed anything relativity heavy with their Stag? Thinking maybe rally car sized.

Fellow SDU member trailers his R33 Skyline from Tauranga to the drags at Meremere (over the Kamai ranges) with his n/a C34 Stagea no problems.

Hi Guys,

Huge thanks for all your input.

I have measured up and think i have a good spot for the cooler. Going with a PWR brand from ebay.

Once i have it on the car i might be asking for some help with the plumbing. :whistling:

What sort of temp dose the oil get too/ whats too hot? Thinking about getting a temp gauge on my M35 to see what its like while towing.

I towed my HQ yesterday about 20km. Was a hire trailer that said was 750kg and the car should be around 1200-1300kg. If I planed on getting a race car I would not have got the Stagea. It sagged a bit to much in the arse for my liking and defiantly needs more torque

From memory / plucked from the air - at or over 120oC for the ATF, and its reducing the life of the transmission and doing it pain.

If your towing loads like that, you really need to get it sorted. I would say it got on the hot side if your up and down hills. Get a big one!

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      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.
