Hi Guys, I'm selling my WGNC34 Stagea S2 which I used as a heavy duty tow car to tow 2 - 2.5 tonne loads on a regular basis. I'm returning the car back to stock to sell it (unless if someone wants to buy the whole car).

I have available for sale:

Tow Bar

Heavy duty custom made tow bar with 50mm removable hitch and hitch receiver type arrangement. This towbar was custom built by Fast Fit Tow bars here in Sydney. Unlike the other towbar regularly referred to on this forum from Canberra, Fastfit rate this towbar at 2.3 tonnes, 200kg ball weight and have stickered the towbar accordingly making it legal. This is a one off custom build never to be repeated.

It is neat and tidy and the hitch arrangement is under the car and out of site. No cutting of rear bar required (it comes in neat and tidy under the rear dayz lip.

Tow bar has never flexed or moved or damaged the car using it to tow 2 - 2.5 tonne loads on a regular basis.

It is currently fitted to the car, so you can see how it is fitted, and you can be sure that it fits. We will actually remove it from the car if you decide to buy it.

Includes electrical trailer plug connector and wiring (it mounts off a neat plate on the tow bar).

Rather than including pics, it's best if you come and have a look at it on the car.

Price $1000 (it cost me almost $1400, about 5 visits to the towbar place and about a month to get finished).

Stagea Heavy Duty Lift Suspension

I have for sale a heavy duty suspension package custom made for me by wholesale suspensions here in Sydney. It is a one off custom build never to be repeated.

I found my stagea too low when towing heavy loads (I towed a 2 - 2.5 tonne car trailer or a 23 foot fibreglass boat).

Wholesale suspensions made me a package comprising:

Heavy Duty longer Bilstein rear shocks

New standard front shocks (Bilstein doesn't have anything longer than stock shocks for the front)

Higher spring rate heavy duty longer front and rear king springs

Front and rear of the car sit at about 400mm centre of hub to guard front and rear with the car FULLY LOADED with about 450kg of gear (about 200kg ball weight from the car trailer and about 250kg of gear inside the car (LPG system, tools plus 4wd recovery gear to get the rig in and out of tricky locations).

Less than a year old (custom made last year) and done less than 6000ks. No leaks, knocks or anything. Shock boots are still perfect (no rips or tears).

Cost me almost $2000 and about 5 visits to and from the shock to get the height right (kings had to keep remaking the springs by trial and error).

These are currently on the car, so you can trial them in my car and we will do the swap on the spot.

Looking for $1500 plus a trade for standard suspensions.

Brake Upgrades

Dixcel slotted rotors front and rear - done only around 6000ks
Purchased new from Greenline last year for:
DIXCEL PD Disc Rotor (Front) WGNC34 RB25DET 99 AWD (3212013 PD): 14,553 yen (Special)
Shipping: 25,100 yen
TOTAL: 39,653 yen AU$515

DIXCEL SD Disc Rotor (Front) WGNC34 RB25DET 99 AWD (3212013 SD): 21,483 yen (Special)
Shipping: 25,100 yen
TOTAL: 46,583 yen AU$605
Looking for $800 plus swap for non warped standard rotors that still have meat on them.
Currently on car, so you can see them before you want to go ahead and we will remove them and swap them.
Japanese Stainless Dump back exhaust (stainless front pipe) and stainless catback
Nice note (not tinny), nice volume - not too loud.
Still fitted on car, so you can hear what it sounds like before you go ahead.
Forgot the brand. Paid $1200 for it from Greenline. Looking for $800 plus swap for standard exhaust with no holes in it.
Currently on car, so you can see them before you want to go ahead and we will remove them and swap them.

Because of the size of the parts, pickup from Sydney only (I cannot arrange for these items to be posted interstate).

To find out more details on this stuff or to look at it, call Chris on 0490 091 303

Bump, I'm trying to get the car ready for sale within the next 2 weeks, so if anyone wants any towing gear in Sydney, now's a good chance to get it.

These are limited one off items that are not available off the shelf - lots of time and money went into getting these built.

Ben, I will send you some pics from my phone tomorrow morning when it's bright. Cheers

PS: I'm going to be taking the tow bar off the car this weekend so if you want to see it on car, this weekend would be best.

Cheers

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
