thats the same in OZ as in whole Europe. hydraulic brakes is also not legal anywhere in europe for some funny reason. You can rebuild american trailers, but thats more costly than buying a new european standard one... beats me....gadget1382 wrote:We have a 3000kg limit (a little over 6000lb) limit for our upper limit towing capacity here in Aus, but are not allowed to use a WDH on the Nissan towbar.
I've noticed that you guys may have a completely different setup to ours. Would you be able to post a pic or two of the tow bar attachment method?
Ours is a wrap around on the rear crossover with 6 bolts holding it in. But from a parts supplier there, i've seen images of a rail to rail design. IMO that is a much better design and as a result allows you to have a factory nissan WDH system.
3000kg is 6600lbs, so thats not insignificant. If I had a 6600lb towing capacity, I wouldn't feel as 'marginal' in what I am towing.gadget1382 wrote:We have a 3000kg limit (a little over 6000lb) limit for our upper limit towing capacity here in Aus, but are not allowed to use a WDH on the Nissan towbar.

If this is the factory tow hook in Oz and Europe, then a WDH cannot be used. A WDH requires a 2" square hole like I showed in the pic above so you can put the WDH assembly in, and that is what the WD Bars hook into.CAMO wrote:European tow hook, 3000kg limit: http://www.lukasus.nazwa.pl/szarmach/al ... -080_2.jpg
