Pics Of Towbar On R33 Type M

[lego]

Hey all,

I've had a look around, but can't find any pics...

I've been in touch with Locsed in Ringwood about having one made up, but want to know what they look like...

Does anyone have any pics of theirs they can post up?

Cheers,

Lego

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.

Ah yeah nice stuff building the trailer. My boats 5.3m on a boeing trailer. I really do think this trailer is too small for the boat but it gets away because the capacity is fine. Just looks short lol.
