I have 3 R32 skylines with various turbo engines. I have started thinking it's time to get something more practical for everyday use/towing so that I can poor more money into the cars I love. After a quick look at what is on offer in the 20-30G range the Subaru Forester XT and Territory Turbo stuck out as two cars that could still be entertaining on a daily basis but also let me zip down to bunnings and buy stuff for the house without tearing my hair out ;). The Forester has around a 1600kilo towing capacity which sounds sketchy for someone wanting to tow so this leaves the territory turbo (2300kilo). Has anyone else been down this path?

Go read the "Good Tow Cars" thread in the motor sport section. This exact question by multiple people, lots of different options.

If you're looking at the Turbo Territory, if it is running the ZF gearbox like the XR6T does avoid it for towing.

They actually have a F6 motor from what I've heard, so better than a standard XR6t - just a Nizpro tune and the things haul ass, and still keep warranty :)

Sorry, read my post and it did sound like I was a bit against it lol. I meant he should choose the Territory because it's got the balls of an XR6 turbo, but bigger so more practical for towing and carrying.

Plus, the range rover you listed has over 160,000 km..... I bought my BMW X5 turbo diesel as its a super smooth to drive daily, awesome on fuel (Approx 700-800km a tank) and it can tow my race car... now I just need a $12,000 nevco trailer and I'm all set :D

Was just about to suggest an X5 then read your post. I second this motion.

    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off    
    • Just report the OP (via the 3 dots menu at the top right of post) and request deletion.
    • And boosters can be rebuilt by the same sort of brake shops that will rebuild a brake booster.
