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

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?

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.

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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
