I had the Fast Fit tow bar installed on my car this week and I am very happy with the job done. The price as previously posted is $490 wired and installed.

The load rating on the tow bar is 1200kg and 80kg on the ball.

For those that were at the Stagea meet up at Rhodes a few weeks back you may have seen a tow bar installed on Damo's car. That is what I had installed. When you see it from the outside it looks like is is only the tongue bolted to the wheel well but there is a brace across the back of the car.

I was very impressed with the way they pulled the car apart to install it and then put it back together. A very professional outfit that I would recomend to any one.

Any way have a look at the pics for your self.

Pic 1. Installed behind the bumper.

Pic 2. Bumper back on and all wired. (and removable tongue)

Pic 3. Nice and neat with a shin guard.

Cheers

Andy

Do they happen to do a bigger load rating? i'm after something that will eventually tow the gtr.. perhaps on a light weight braked trailer tho...

and i could have sworn that we all did buy a Volvo!!

No, 1200kg is the highest they have. go have a talk to them as if you want to pay for it they may be able to work out how to do it.

How was the snow?

Cheers

Hi guys, well the tow bar is a goer!

I had a tonne of crushed granite in my trailer today with no issues whatsoever. :laugh:

Andy, your photos were interesting, looks like a very neat job under the bodywork. My assumption was a bit wrong.

prob get my mates who will do the dump to make the tow setup, 70% of their work is usually custom stuff rather than exhausts.. but i think its a while off. i cant be bothered looking at the gtr at the moment and only need to tow it when the time comes around..

the snow was good, a bit patchy in places off the groomed, rocks and the like sticking out, and then 10cm of fresh over them rocks wasnt fun either.....

The new boots were a bit stiff and sore for the first day.. the dump this week should sort it out real good.. cant wait for the weekend now!

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
