Ive seen a few. It looks strange but its practical. Seen a few skylines towing small boats and trailers. Id shit my self though putting my skyline on a ramp let alone dunking the rear in the salt.

You don't know much about boat ramps or launching a boat do you? The car doesn't get wet. The wheels of the trailer will often go into the water a bit, but the car will still be a few meters from the water.

You obviously don't know much about country Victorians do you? Have seen a falcon wagon with the boot almost fully submerged just to get a dinghy off hahaha

Haha, it's only to tow a stand up jet ski and trailer (400kg max).

I never go out on my own, so if the ramp is too steep or whatever, I'll just hook the trailer up to my mates ranger...

I was more interested to see what they look like - I've googled the hell out of it, but can't seem to find any decent pics!

Mmmm not true. I own a boat, the trailer wheels get fully submerged and more often than not the wheels of our truck will make contact with the water. Its a big boat and if we don't do this we risk touching bottom on some ramps and it becomes a pain to get the boat off on a hot day where its sticky on the rollers. This is with a Mitsubishi Triton, high as f**k with big wheels. If it was a skyline, you will be touching the water if you're dropping off a boat. Ive seen cars get water up their exhaust, and very often.

out of curiousity how much were they quoting??? two places in Sydney wanted "atleast $1000" to fit one to my 32.......I just decided to buy a ute to tow my 4.5m boat instead.

I never ever have any part of my ute go into the water, however I did see this f**khead in a commo ss ute wheels half in the water a couple of years ago, he and his mates thought it would be a great idea to tow the boat and trailer out by smoking the rears........that ended in tears for the owner and plenty of laughter for me, and more laughter after I refused to tow him out.....and I was told I was a f**kwit!!

Somehow I doubt the towbar for a skyline would be rated high enough to tow anything that requires the car to go near the water. My 3.6m boat I have doesn't even need the hubs of the trailer to get wet, but then I built the trailer well. Dad's 4.5m boat doesn't get the car anywhere near the water either.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
