I have just purchased a new run about wagon/tow car so I am removing the roofracks & towbar from the Stag.

They are just no longer needed now I have a larger falcon wagon to do all my towing/transporting stuff. Which means now I can concentrate on modifying it. Anyways...

Towbar was made by Towbars of Woden & is rated at 2000kg (have paperwork)

Roofracks are Thule items and are rated at 75kg each bar I believe.

Towbar $550

Roofracks $250

To first buyer with $$$. I WILL NOT hold for 6 months while you try and sell your camira to pay for them etc.

Give you a better offer?

Mate as the seller here I think you should be making me an offer lol.

What sort of roofracks were they at Repco? Garuntee they wern't Thule, not at that price anyway.

$200 I will let them go. I won't be matching an inferior products price sorry.

BTW these roof racks have key locks and are adjustable. Once locked they can not be moved and are 100% secure & safe.

Hey mate, just a quick question did you buy the towbar for the car or was it previously fitted when you bought it? I am just wondering at what cost it was to build and install.

Cheers

gee thanks.... STILL had the money here ready to go and someone to pick it up straight away... thanks for keeping me in the loop there.

that's life i spose.....

D.

Sorry mate.

I had like 8 people interested and all were waiting for me to remove it.

I have been answering PM's for the last month or so explaining that as soon as it is off the car I will let them know.

I had even refused several peoples deposits because I was not 100% sure exactly when I would have the item removed.

I didn't want to commit to a sale and take a deposit and stuff the person around for weeks because I didn't have the time to remove it.

Anyway, I pulled it off today, updated the post stating it is 100% available on a 1st come 1st serve basis.

I started replying to PM's that it was ready to go but I had to wait several minutes between posts and this was too time consuming

(I am a busy man hence the length of time before I could remove the towbar). And I sold it to the 1st person that comitted to buying it. I am sure there is another 7 people peed off with the situation also, but I feel I did the right thing by not committing any sales before it was actually ready to be sold (hence no promises or deposits taken).

You had it advertised 8 weeks ago! :/ Of course people will be upset when you advertised it 8 weeks ago. What did you expect?

You words were:

To first buyer with $$$. I WILL NOT hold for 6 months while you try and sell your camira to pay for them etc.

But they had to wait around for you to get off your ass??? :domokun:

I advertised the item 8 weeks ago because I was supposed to have some free time then.

It turned out I had ALOT on for work & a deadline to complete the jobs and never got the time off that I was supposed to recieve untill now (several weeks later). I also had to cancell pre-booked holiday accomodation which I lost a small amount of cash on as well as several other planned events and let down a Mr's and kids, so don't think I purposely stuffed anybody around or took my time removing it as it was not a case of "getting off my ass" as you state. I had very valid reasons why I couldn't do it any sooner and I made this perfectly clear to those that messaged me regarding the bar. I told them directly that I am unsure when I will be able to remove it due to lack of time and for that reason I refused to accept a deposit or commit it to anybody untill it was actually off the car. I was working 12+ hours a day 7 days a week in order to get this time off that I now have. And to be honest now that I have the time off I just want to relax not work on cars or have to explain myself or my situation to a bunch of internet users. It was never a case of being lazy or stuffing people around. I had obligations & priorities that far outweigh the importance of any member of this site (which by the way are complete strangers to me). Sorry buddy but my business, finances & family come wayyyyyyy before some dudes feelings on the internet especially over something as petty as a towbar. I'd rather upset some users here then risk losing business & finances etc.

As I said above I am sorry to those that feel somehow jerked around and yes I do expect some people to be upset about it (I wasn't complaining I was simply appologising) but whats done is done and it was out of my hands. Anyway realistically I was not obligated to sell to anyone anyway just as they were not obligated to buy from me. I never put it on hold for anybody nor did I tell anybody it was theirs. I was upfront with all enquirers that it is still on the car and as soon as I get the time to take it off I will let them know when it is available. If this isn't good enough for anybody then PM a mod and ask to have action taken against me. Because I don't particularly want to hear it hey. I am off to enjoy my long awaited free time. Enjoy...

Anyway the items are sold.

I couldn't care less about people bitching about it, I have appologized not much more I can do.

Sooooo, feel free to lock the thread as there is nothing more to sell or say to the members here...

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
