Towing Capacity

[Adz2332]

Hey all

Does anyone know the towing capacitys and also how they tow in general of a

33 GTST or 34 GTT?

Im looking at selling my r33 GTR as i need a vehicle to tow my r33 gtst drift / track car.

Im just brainstorming ideas as im not really wanting a commenwhore or falcoon

Thanks

So I pressume you are looking for a suitable car to tow your 33. And not that you want to tow with your 33....

It didn't make much sense but I think he is considering a Skyline as a tow car?

Which is silly.

[Adz2332]

sorry yer i will re do the opening thingo....

[Adz2332]

Yep was interested to know what a 34 gtt could actually tow?

Im generally struggling to find something i would consider still fun to drive daily and keep with what im into. but still tow well

About the closest thing to a "fun" daily that can tow a decent amount you'll get is a V8/turbo-6 Falcodore. Other than that you're pretty much looking at 4WDs.

[edit] ...although there's a few people towing race cars with C34 Stageas. 260RS maybe? [/edit]

Possibly a awd stagea?

Possibly a awd stagea?

Why awd? Traction doesn't play a part unless he is going off road!

The reality is a small capacity turbo 6 is crap at towing and will use more fuel than a v8 commodore or xr6 turbo.

Adz, don't you have a torana?

That means you have some bogan in you, embrace it and get a v8 commodore.

Hahah yer i do to.... i have a territory to tow that sucker....

Just looks and feels wrong driving a falcon or what not coming from my GTR and towing a skyline.....

The towing capacity is usually related to weight. When you consider a 33 + trailer has got to be close to 2T, I doubt there is a sedan type vehicle out there that was designed to be towing that much weight. (1.5T might be the best you will find, so basically a mid-sized caravan)

Your Territory has got to be your best bet. Even then, you might need some upgrades, like electric brakes on the trailer.

[Adz2332]

This i the torana on the trailer, have 2, the other is identical

And the gtst....

Just will miss driving the GTR every day

[Sarumatix]

No one cares what you use to tow, they're only interested in what's on the trailer.

That said I have a forester XT which does a pretty decent job all things considered.

c34 stageas are terrible tow cars, i had to tow a r34 behind me at one stage without a trailer and it was the most difficult thing to get up minor slopes with unless you were on boost, and 2600rpm is not very early on boost.... (rs4s stagea)

best bet buy a m35 with the 3,5l engines, its auto and has larger displacement, plus heaps of goodies if you can find one with the right options. M35 Axis being the premium model
