hahahaha.... doesn't seem like there is much interest in this.

I'm going to organise with a tow bar manufacturer here in Canberra to get one made and ensure it meets engineering approvals. I'll also talk to him at the time about the possibility of having the design engineer certified so that other stagea owners can get it installed without having to get their own engineers certificate (about $500).

Hopefully this will be in the next couple of weeks. I'll let you all know how it goes.

What have you found out?

I spoke to Lloyds Caravans about a Hayman Reese towbar, but they said they wouldn't have anything to fit the Stagea. Now that I have it, I'm going to take it to them and check again.

All i've found out is there's a tow bar for the silvia (S15) that has been made to fit onto skylines (R33). since stagea has same chassis i thought maybe it could be modified, but the extra length of the wagon could be a problem. that's about all the stuff i've found, haven't looked too hard though

[DRIFTER]

i need to tow my 32 to melbourne on the 9th of december so i need it before then.

[DRIFTER]

anyone got any other sugestions?

I have been looking into getting a tow bar - gotta a pretty big trailer to pull, so I went down to ARB to see what they said. Pete (from ARB) said that he could customise me a Hayman Reese pakage for my car and trailer for around $800 or so....But I suppose I will have to see when I take the car into him

I was also thinking of getting a Hayman Reese bar customised to fit. But for the same effort and less coss I can get a full custom bar made.

when are you getting it thedriver?

Has to be before xmas!!!

I've been busy the last few weeks so haven't been able to organise anything. I'm mostly free now for the next couple of weeks, so will be a good time to get something going.

[DRIFTER]

any chance you could get it done this week?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yeah... maybe... i guess it depends on whether Max is able to do it this week....

Why?

[DRIFTER]

i wan't to get mine done asap, but i can't get my car to canberra. so i'm hoping he can make mine at the same time as yours. i talked to him today and he said he only needs two days notice.

[thedriver]

Hey, only read my PM last night, sorry. I'll try to give you a call today!

If I get the chance, I'll gve Max a call and drop in to show him the car and see what his thoughts are. I've got a Dayz kit on mine so my rear bar is a little lower than standard and I'm not sure how this will affect the installation / design. Ideally I don't want the rear bar cut, but I'll see how it goes.

I'd like to get a removeable towball too... not sure what your thoughts are on this.

Also something to think about is whether you want it engineer certified or not.

[DRIFTER]

no it only has to have a compliance plate, i'm probably going to get one rated at 2000kgs.
