Hey guys,

wanted to see if anyone has one fitted.

Pics anyone?

yes it would look disgusting and out of place, although i want to know if you can have one made that is removable that doesn't have to be cut out of your rear bar.. one that comes out and curves up that can be hidden under the car when not in use.

basically i have a boat and not enough money for another car to tow it with!.

Any ideas good places to ask in sydney..

cheers

How much weight would your boat+trailer weigh?

Is this a little dingy?

yep a tinny.... weighs nothin...

boat weighs 80

50 hp motor weighs 74

trailer around 100

I currently have two cars, have a VN Calais with a tow bar which comes in handy for pulling a trailer, or chucking the bikes in the back seat, or whacking roof racks on and strapping a kayak on. I want to sell my VN, but dont think id consider putting a tow bar on the 33 to carry the bikes - just wouldnt look right! A stagea wld be handy though!

You should be able to go to any tow-bar place you trust, and they should be able to knock up a custom one fairly cheap - theres not much too em. They get the car up on the hoist, and look for places to weld to your chassis.

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
