The Bounty Bar Kid Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Hi guys, I'm going around Silverstone on Sunday. I can't find my towing eye. Can someone help me out? You can borrow mine. I'm working all weekend in Sutton though. You could bring my phone charger at the same time lol. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 BTW Hope you had a good birthday yesterday! Quote
Neilp Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Make sure the threads are the same on your cars. I bought a few towing eyes for the 350z and it turns out there's about 3 different thread patterns/diameters for them towing eye should always be kept in the boot Quote
jumping350 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Happy birthday clowny, if dips is wrong thread give us a shout you can try mine Quote
NeilMH Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 As a fall-back position I'll see if mine is there, just in case BBK's doesn't fit. However, mine is a DE Roadster - I don't know whether they share the same thread as per NeilP's posting earlier. Will update later this AM. Quote
Ekona Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Local Nissan place may keep them in stock. Quote
NeilMH Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Andrew - yep I have mine which you are welcome to borrow if Dip's doesn't fit but Dan's suggestion re a local Dealer may be a lot more convenient for you. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I've got a 57 hr, he has a 08 hr. Hopefully ours is the same. Quote
Clown Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks for the birthday wishes I'll try Dipam first because I need to bring back his charger. I'll keep you guys in mind if it doesn't fit. The towing eye, that is. Thanks Quote
Neilp Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Never realised it was your birthday big man! Hope you had a great time! Hope u got something nice. Got my birthday looming in just over a week. Not looking forward to turning 26. Time is disappearing! Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) A) Happy Birthday, 2) there's a towing eye shaped slot at the rear under the car on the passenger side which is attached to the chassis. Now, you wouldn't want to tow on it for a long while, but if for any reason the front tow eye was unavailable, you'd have bigger problems than that eye. When I was at Silverstone I just had a vinyl sticker pointing under the car to it and they didn't have a problem. Edited October 25, 2013 by Dedman Quote
Clown Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 I couldn't find where to screw it into the front so I just took the little panel off the back (and scratched it!) and used that hole there :s Quote
HaydnH Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Give me a shout if needed, I'll be around Surbiton all weekend. I'll PM you my number just in case. Quote
Watshot Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I couldn't find where to screw it into the front so I just took the little panel off the back (and scratched it!) and used that hole there :s Unclip the upper middle piece of trim in the grille, the tow eye hole is behind, dead centre. Quote
wmr1980 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Feel free to borrow mine mate - a bit of a trek for you to SE London though. Quote
Clown Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 All sorted! Thanks for the offers guys Quote
370Ad Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Silverstone taster session? Wanted to go myself but got lumped with working! Quote
Clown Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 Yeah, I've got two sessions booked. 1 Quote
jumping350 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Have you got a in car mounted camera? Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Make sure the threads are the same on your cars. I bought a few towing eyes for the 350z and it turns out there's about 3 different thread patterns/diameters for them towing eye should always be kept in the boot He tried putting it in his boot, but he complained it hurt and made him walk with a limp!. You fool Clown Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Out of interest Clown. Have you got an aftermarket front bumper on yours! If so your thread is underneath the right side front? Like mine and as such cant be used as it would get ripped right off when the tow was underway! We are going to fabricate drop down attatchments hopefully soon that bolt onto the existing tow hole.

jumping350 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Need me one of those Pete my veilside would never last, and i need one of your undertrays i lost mine the other week (again) lol Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) You can come and pick the oem one up if you want. Its usable:) If your keeping the car now, then Ivor is back on the 1st for fabrication. At the moment he is in Puru suffering with gut rot! Edited October 27, 2013 by 4RE Leather Quote
jumping350 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Peru gut rot does not sound good, cheers mate, Il see how much is left under the car, im going to get an aluminium one, gonna be shedding sparks everywhere i go haha Quote
