Yea, it will tow it. No better then any other car though.

Im just saying, when everyone says oh you need a falcon/commodore to tow, you don't ... theres plenty of Japanese cars just as capable at towing as any other.

I agree.

Even though I think RBs are overrated, there are plenty of better towing options for that price range then a commodore Corrin, which is the whole point Im trying to make.

years would tell, v6 will be still going ,

A 4AGE would outlast a V6 Buick any day of the week. Theres a reason why Corollas go round the clock and still keep going like new.

are u talking about towing or getting the milk from the shop,
Towing mate.

The particular car he linked me to was an old Commodore wagon with a carburettored, automatic v6 in it rated at 160hp from new.... Hardly any more then a 4age. Sure it will have a bit more torque, but considering his celica is probably half the weight ...

Don't knock anything until you try it badass. I can tell you now that almost most fords if not all I would recommend not to tow ... and I work for a ford dealership!

I well tuned, modern V6 would mop the floor in towing for sure, but then a 4AGE is a good 30 year old engine as well so you could say a modern 3SGE would tow just as well ...

there were no carby v6 commodores made?

and celicas didnt come with a 4age

and its all relitive to what you are going to be towing

my vy had no trouble towing my 2ton 4wd around the place now if i had put that on the back of my wifes rolla im picking it wouldve given up

when i was towing the minisprint round with the safari it drove like there was nothing behind it.

so it really depends on what you are going to be towing around

my 2 c worth

[Bull]

Yes Celicas came with a 4AGE ... otherwise Corrin can't even read his own engine tag right

The newer Commodores (VY etc) are fine, like Ive previously said ... its the earlier ones .. as I said to Corrin ...

[Bull]

both shit get a v8

Agree

Nothing beats a V8

[Naki]

Wicked..Just about everyones going jz around the naki now..Theres heaps of them..And there will be afew in the drift scene this season.

[pacman]

Celicas had a 3sge or a 3sgte didnt they?

And i hate to say it but hardings got a good point.
Had a work mate who brought himself a monster of a boat, not sure of size but she was big.
Anywho the only vehicle that had the towbar rating was a nissan safari and man could it tow, turbo deisel aswell.

[Bull]

Id rather just put the JZ into a supra or other toyota rather then a skyline as theyre ugly lol but hey at least hes using a good engine.

[Harding Jr]

ok guys, coming from a guy who own's three Toyota Celica's. The only car's he has ever owned are Celica's.

The AT-160 chassis (made in New Zealand before the Toyota Factory shut in late 86, some in Australia and Portugal along with a few other country's all came out with Generation 2 4A-GE engines made between 84 and 89.

However the ST-162 Chassis's never were powered with mini 1587cc of 4A-GE but they started to be powered by 1998cc of 3S-FE (economy version) and 3S-GE (sports version) power plants. That were produced between 85 - 89.

There were also some All-trac model produced. These jem's run 3S-GTE 1998cc Turbo all wheel drive but in the same Generation 4 shape running the ST-162 chassis. I would love to get hold of one of these!

To the non-Celica trained eyes you could easily mistake the two chassis' for the same one. But they are slightly different.

And hell no would I tow in any of my cars! Just last weekend I had a full car of the guys going out to the rally and the loss of power was just stupid. That's only adding a few hundred KG's (chillybin inclusive) Adding a few thousand KGs and I wouldn't be getting out of 2nd gear!

Tow bar rating's are bloody stupid. The best way to do it is multiply it by two and then we are sorted. It seems you don't like agreeing with me Jono

lol makes me laugh when all these younger fella's start giving advice about cars lol seriously im pissing myself ..

bull if you had half a brain you'd be dangerous

personally i have seen the old buick v6 commie motors do some fricken amazing stuff ... ( in the 4wd scene as pnpete would know ) in saying that the odd zukie jeep has a 4age in them .. but you just dont see them in anything heavy .... reason behind that im guessing is complete lack of torque

Again someone who didn't read all of what I said.

What I said is that the Particular car Corrin linked me to was an early model and underpowered, and there are far better towing options out there. He then said his celica couldn't tow jackshit, and I reckoned it could because of the experience I had with 4AGE engines (Admittedly Ive never had one in a Celica). Corrin then decided to post a topic on here and see how many people would spam post to get their post count up ... err I mean offer advice

From my experience in the many 4AGE cars Ive had I said they can tow that weight fine cause in my experience they have towed what Corrin wants to tow fine. In no way am I saying a brand new commodore will get out towed by a 30 year old 4AGE... As I pointed out earlier!

People need to read everything before posting!

And yeah Harding, I never realised how underpowered Corrins Celica is. The Celica he owns is considerably more heavy then all the cars Ive owned with a 4AGE, plus the fact corrins a meathead would explain why his is slow as fark

It makes me laugh when older people think that because they are older they must know more than a younger person on any given topic . Just joking with ya Hawkins, ya know I love you xox

I could help explain, the intake keeps splitting away from the throttlebody. After the airbox the previous owner has just clean cut the plastic air channel that channel's clean cool air from behind the headlight . His is probably a lot lighter than mine in all honesty, I just said how much mine weighed it would be somewhere near.

For the record when I had a blown exhaust gasket (sounded like a blimmen tractor!) over 150-200m (was it about that Corrin). My 2litre 3S-FE only had a bonnet length lead over Corrin in his 4A-GE.
