for all the people w/ greddy twin turbo kit w/ fmic. how the heck do you tow your car since the intercooler replaced the reforce bar? thanks

 

When I towed the car to the garage I called for a towing bed.


I just drove the car on top and drove it down after.


Tasso-

 

key words you "drove the car on top" of the flatbed...when your block busts some holes in it, you won't be driving it up a flatbed...
I don't know the name of the structure that they attached their cables to, but it is further back under the front of the car, by the suspension, there is a spot to attach to the frame (or at least a sturdy structure that attaches to the frame)...I stood on the cable as they toed it up, because the cable had the tendency to pull up on my bumper (I stood on it to hold it down and take SOME of the pressure off the bumper)...and it worked...I've had my car toed 2X
first: spun out in ice, got stuck in snow, second: blocky walkie told me to fukee wuckee myself

 

i made a steel bumper with a place to screw in the tow hook

 

heres a picture of what i made and yes its been tested

 

man that is awesome you should make more and sell them on the forum? do you have to take of your front bumper in order for you to tow it? are you using your stock bumper or do you have an aftermarket bumper?

 

When I had to tow my car (a G coupe) it was with a tow truck (versus a car carrier......which is a truck with a tilting flatbed).

The key is to get the one with dollies. They'll throw the dollies under your tires and secure up & tow the car that way.

 

we looked into making those as a product to carry but we decided that most 350z owners are too attached to their windshield sprayers to loose the tank for that.

I think you are referring to the Sway bars...prob not a good idea to use it as the only support to hold/pull a Z..anyone else have an opinion on this?

 

i dont have FI but this might be useful for you guys..

 

my Z has never broke down, but if it did, i would use the hook shown in my sig picture!

 

tow hook, the guy who trucked my car to forged yanked the car onto the bed using my front sway bar.

 

i've seen people hook onto I think they were the large lower front control arms on each side

 

No, he is talking about the lower a-arms. This is a very common place to tow from.

If the towing company is competent in the least, they will know what to do.

 

Any interest in making a couple more of these. Or at least one more?
I am also interested in adding a flat edge or plate towards the passenger side, so I may mount an oil and/or power steering cooler to it.

Any thoughts?

 

No way I could drive up, they had to pull the car on the bed backwards using 2x4 blocks for the front bumper to not scrape.
