as thread says...

need to get my shitter tuned when i get my nisstune done

a)does a stag FIT on a car trailer

b)will a stag be able to tow another stag (

c)kidafa whats ur towbar rated to?)

d)kidafa... both a and b being yes... ur towwing me :D

I towed my stag with my mates BA falcon ute. It fit quite happily on the servo-hired trailer. It did hang off the back a bit though but the weight was still centred over the wheels so no biggie. We worked out that the poor 4L engine was dragging along near 4tonnes of lard

The towbar was only rated to 1600kg :D

The ute handled it fine, except for the exhaust snapping off half way home from Canberra to Sydney. I think that was just an interesting coincidence rather than load-related though

I used my brothers Ford Ranger, 2.5lt turbo desiel 2x4 ute, to tow my stagea once before. It did it fairly effortlessly. The stagea just fitted on the trailer I used, the ass was hanging off the end by about 600mm.

Just make sure you check the trailer your going to use will let the nose of the stagea sit over the front rail if you need it to. I had to sit mine over a little to get a good weight balance on the tow ball.

There are a few people that use their stagea's to tow track cars, but they would be lighter than a stagea, as long as you used a good dual axel braked car trailer and set it up right I don't think there would be a problem using a stagea to tow. It's only going to be a shortish trip anyway isn't it

Saw a Stagea towing an R33 once. Also watched it sway left and right down the freeway.

Depending on your state laws about legal towing limits. If you're towing a Stagea with a Stagea then you're over the limit.

Makes it easy for the police to work out you're over the limit.

Be smart about it or your could lose 2 cars and a trailer. Or some points and a fine.

Just over the QLD border the NSW police used to make people leave their trailers where they got stopped.

It's your choice and that was just my 2 cents.

how far do you actually need to tow the car?

last time i got one of my cars towed, morphett vale - marion it only cost $40.00 thats less than the cost of hiring a trailer

    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
