so did you guys come up with who would be the best to use in the n.s.w/act area

hahahaha.... doesn't seem like there is much interest in this.

I'm going to organise with a tow bar manufacturer here in Canberra to get one made and ensure it meets engineering approvals. I'll also talk to him at the time about the possibility of having the design engineer certified so that other stagea owners can get it installed without having to get their own engineers certificate (about $500).

Hopefully this will be in the next couple of weeks. I'll let you all know how it goes.

do you have their phone number?

Max is his name, he's a bit hard of hearing so make sure you talk clearly.

Towbars of Woden

Namatjira Drive

CHAPMAN ACT 2611

ph: 02 6288 5199

Are you in Canberra? Maybe, we both get ours done and see what he can do for us. I'm ready anytime after this week and need to get it done before xmas.

Hey mate, you'll have to shwo us how it goes, i'm in canberra too and been looking into a tow bar.

What have you found out?

I spoke to Lloyds Caravans about a Hayman Reese towbar, but they said they wouldn't have anything to fit the Stagea. Now that I have it, I'm going to take it to them and check again.

All i've found out is there's a tow bar for the silvia (S15) that has been made to fit onto skylines (R33). since stagea has same chassis i thought maybe it could be modified, but the extra length of the wagon could be a problem. that's about all the stuff i've found, haven't looked too hard though

I have been looking into getting a tow bar - gotta a pretty big trailer to pull, so I went down to ARB to see what they said. Pete (from ARB) said that he could customise me a Hayman Reese pakage for my car and trailer for around $800 or so....But I suppose I will have to see when I take the car into him :)

I was also thinking of getting a Hayman Reese bar customised to fit. But for the same effort and less coss I can get a full custom bar made.

Yeah thats true, but they are bloody fantastic, also, looks like I may be towing an offroad caravan aswell :lol:

when are you getting it thedriver?

Has to be before xmas!!!

I've been busy the last few weeks so haven't been able to organise anything. I'm mostly free now for the next couple of weeks, so will be a good time to get something going.

Hey, only read my PM last night, sorry. I'll try to give you a call today!

If I get the chance, I'll gve Max a call and drop in to show him the car and see what his thoughts are. I've got a Dayz kit on mine so my rear bar is a little lower than standard and I'm not sure how this will affect the installation / design. Ideally I don't want the rear bar cut, but I'll see how it goes.

I'd like to get a removeable towball too... not sure what your thoughts are on this.

Also something to think about is whether you want it engineer certified or not.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
