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.

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
