psmurphy Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Hi, I've had a few Nissans in the past, last one being an R33 GTST Skyline which I built up from stock to a 400bhp track day car Anyway looking into getting another Nissan and liking the 350z as my daily drive but I need my daily drive to tow my racing kart\trailer\equipment - probs about 300kg in total weight so well within limits Is there anywhere who can fit a good sturdy tow bar to a 350z ? thanks for any advice Edited July 13, 2014 by psmurphy Quote
Ekona Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) You cannot legally tow with a 350Z in the UK. Edited July 13, 2014 by Ekona Quote
ioneabee Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 You cannot legally tow with a 350Z in the UK. apart from there being nothing on the market anyway - why's that Dan ? Quote
Ekona Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 IIRC Nissan did not specify any towing limits for the UK market. Quote
psmurphy Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 thanks for the replies - not looking good then Quote
Neilp Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 As far as I'm aware every tow bar will have an approved list of vehicles that it can be used for. As far as I know there are none approved in the UK. However, in the states there are some available. Quote

Ekona Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Still don't think you can tow in the UK Neil, if there's no towing limits specified on the V5 then it's not legal. It's a DVLA thing, more than a practicality of getting the right attachments. Quote
Neilp Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Yep I totally agree Dan, not approved for UK use as not on the approved list (as the 350z has never been approved, itself, for towing) Quote
Jixaman Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 What do you race / what club you in? I have the wee man racing a Comer Cadet the now, he's second in the club championship at Crail (ESKC) and last at Rowrah (CKRC) although we'v only started going to Rowrah... Spun at the chiccane last weekend and snapped the brake disc in the third heat, that ended our day... He loves it... Anyway, back to your post... Towbar on a Z !!!! Ahhhh hahahahahah... Are you mad !!! Quote
psmurphy Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 rotax max senior at hooton park im selling all the karting stuff now - concentrate on the 350z Quote
Jixaman Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 You'll be a lot cheaper doing that, lol... Later... Quote
