Change in thread Details.

I Need to know the name of a shop that makes towbars for R33 GTS-T skylines. I want to fit one to my car, but no-one can get them for me.

Can anyone at all, help me with anything?

Don't want to have to sell my precious 13 second skyline just because i can't fit a towbar.

:cheers:

I have a R33 with a towbar (tow a car trailercar without problem) but it all mounts behind the rear bumper cover so nothing shows.

It looks like it fits into rear chassis rails and braced into floor in spare wheel well.

I hear a S14/s15 towbar will fit but I had mine custom made.

Hope that is some help.

I've seen a few R33's with towbars, but I've never looked at the bar.

An R33 would be fine to tow with, believe me, my R33 has heaps more low-end torque than some of the cars I've towed with. Just don't try to launch fast and you'll be fine. Having a turbo really helps on the highway while towing, when you get to a small hill you hardly have to move your foot to hold speed.

thanks guys, but I still need pictures, because my friend is going to custom fit it for me, but needs a starter idea on where the standard ones bolt onto.

So, anyone got pics? enilyks33r? Can you take some for me?

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
