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

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌  
    • Did you hit up the search function? R33 and greddy and cable returns this thread with some options.   https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358214-rb25-throttle-body/
