Not a requirement but out of interest how do you tow an R34 GTR V-spec (from the front) ?

Just out of interest.

Disconnect prop or flatbed only iirc

Lewis_08 · 20th August 2012, 09:48 PM

i was meaning as in attach a towing implement if necessary

was having a chat earlier with someone and realised i don't think there is one

There's a towing eye, just don't use it

nazams · 20th August 2012, 11:11 PM

I usually do mine from the back on to a flatbed

Understood ,I was just putting the thought up so that i knew what to do in a must case bases.

Where is the front towing eye in any case (noted not to use lol)?

I wouldnt tow the car in any case id have it trailered or flat bed , but i like to know these things.

Is that specific to the GTR? I know 4x4's need the prop removed if it's towed on a spec lift, as only the rear wheels are turning.

The front towing eyes are hidden behind the front diffuser (ie. front lip). According to the owner's manual, you need to remove the front lip before attaching tow hooks, or you run the risk of tearing off the front lip. Rather useless design, to be honest...
