This is like searching for the Holy Grail.

Oh yeah?? Have you been looking also or know of lots others?

Bubba mentioned towing instructions from the stagea manual in another thread 'duncans torque split........', OP it might be worth giving him a pm!

"The are plenty of warnings in the manual about how to tow and what not to do.. but absolutely no warnings in regards to the 2WD mode.."

That was for the car itself being towed..

This is like searching for the Holy Grail.

Damn it..

The only thing I can think of now is tryng to call a japanise nissan work shop that is listed as english speaking on Nissan japans website..

I would still be super greatful if everybody that has a ownersmanual, workshop manuals or any documentation whatsoever about the car could lookup if ther is anything about towing weigts in them. The ones who finds it findes the holy Grail.. ha ha I will pay for usefull information.

ok in my owners manual it states that do not tow another vehicle that is heavier than yours.id take that as it can tow equal weight .page 197 in my manual.i dont know if this helps

My suggestion is keep the towed weight under the towing vehicle weight. Given the build of a Stagea I wouldn't want to tow too much with it.

That caravan pic from the UK is a joke, If a strong wind hit that van it'd pull the Stagea straight off the road.

I've seen a Stagea towing an R33. Got some wicked sway happening, dragged the arse of the Stagea all over the place.

That's just my opinion, but be sure to put some serious thought in to it. Because it'll be too late when it's all twisted

Thanks Bubba and Mike for your input and Pm:s.. It is greatly appriciated and i hope I can use it..

I am not looking for any anormus towing weights.. I just want it to tow my trailer witch is rated to 1500kg total. 1300kg is fine for me too. My rs260 is 1720kg so it is not unreasoanble I think.. But I need to prove that the Stageas body and chassie can handle it dispite the wich weight the towbar is rated to. I have ordered the 256 pages owners manual and put my name in for the workshop manual. I hope it will be available soon.

I forgot to call the workshop in japan today but will try tomorrow.
