Thanks for stopping by today.

The Nismo 370Z requires a much longer tow-bolt so we will be producing a specific one for the Nismo-edition. We were able to make a one-off for this customer that came in today. Here's a few pictures of how the license plate relocation kit for the Nismo 370Z will be mounted. Keep in mind the plate is completely adjustable so you can mount the plate all the way to the left, right, top, bottom or even tilt the plate upward, downward, towards the left or right.

We also included a few pictures of our optional Gopro camera mount and folding racing tow hook setup. The camera mount and racing tow hook are modular components that can utilize the tow bolt included with the license plate relocation. So you can run the license plate on the street, add the camera mount for some back road video, and mount the tow-hook when you take the car on the track.

Very cool little gizmo.

The good stuff:
-It's black and blends nicely with the car
-The bracket is easy to customize, rotate and bend.
-It sits right off the grille and does not protrude very far
-It's modular. Perfect for people like me who don't want to get pulled over, but want to be able to remove the bracket and replace it with a racing tow hook for shows etc.
-The tow hook is really nice. The ring is red powder coated and not that ugly red chrome you see on some of them.

The bad stuff:
-Nothing so far

Only tuning shop I've ever been in that features a "serve yourself" DVD player with a bunch of movies, a foosball table and an XBOX with various racing games.

If I already have a Tow hook myself, is it possible to purchase ONLY the GoPro mount, is it universal? Or will it only fit with your hook's barrel?

Our GoPro mount and POV camera (any camera using the standard 1/4" tripod mounting thread) mount and folding racing tow hook were designed to only fit onto our tow bolt adaptor only we designed all of it initially as a modular setup. We sell the camera mount and racing took hook as an optional add-on for those running our front license plate relocation kit, but we will also sell it as a complete kit (which includes the tow bolt adaptor) for those that do not need a front license plate relocation in states that don't require front tags.

I'll have to stop by one day and see if they work together, or just get your tow hook.

Not sure if you notice the picture of our racing tow hook above. But it also has provision for you to mount a camera on top as well. So if you're at the track and you need the tow hook but also want to mount a camera as well, this setup is a two-in-one configuration.

Here's the same setup used on our customer's Scion FR-S:

Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB - View Single Post - Now available!!! PTUNING Adjustable Front License Plate Holder w/ Tow Hook Mount

Here's a video from an autocrosss with our customer running that setup:

I'll take some pictures tomorrow after I wash the car.

XwChriswX · 01-18-2013, 06:17 PM

Yes I like that 2 way setup very much.

I'll have to take a closer look at it next time I see DM's car.

Hey quick (possibly stupid) question. How do I attach the tow hook once I unscrew the license plate? There's still some sort of "mount" behind the bracket itself that blocks where the tow hook bolt should go.

You need to remove the license plate mounting frame, the swivel adaptor and the M10 mounting bolt. This will leave only the tow bolt with the open thread for you to screw in the tow hook adaptor.

Basically all you should have is the tow bolt below and then you can screw in the racing tow hook.
