Seems that it is a "Class 1" tow bar though, which according to the manufacturer is 2000lbs.

Would still like the details on a 2000kg unit for M35.

has anyone actually fitted a towbar in melbourne yet?

been searching high n low with no luck, in desperate need for a towbar to tow a boat!

any custom towbar fabricators in melbourne?

The problem is that all custom towbars must pass ADR in Vic, otherwise they void your insurance.

I have spoken to a lot of tow bar places and the few that do custom bars backed the hell away very quickly from my car.

If you do find one on Melbourne... or Vic for that matter.

Please let us know!

I've scouted these forums and found only 1 company in Sydney (fast fit) that will do towbars for M35's

I end up using south coast towbars @ Unanderra

Cost $700, bar is custom made. And the work is great! Took a day and a bit to complete, Tongue sits nice and heigh so my trailer is nice and balanced on the ball. Rated at 1500kg

Highly recommended. It's a 1 man shop

So the service is ace.

There is a tow bar on Yahoo Japan at the moment, not sure what weight it is rated to.

~450kg :(

That's because one end of it is attached to the tie down point in the corner of the boot floor...

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
