Four wheels with tyres on them.

Thanks

If you mean a car then Adtrans all the way.

If you mean rims only then they should be boxed. TNT express will do it at a fee.

Or local transport services are cheaper, again, what state are they going to?

Ive got names but need that info, as truckers keep to their own routes.......

OK, most courier services wont touch it if it aint boxed. They are liable for damage...

As far as transport goes, Adelaide to NSW, try Kevin at Apollo Removals, then try Bob Edgar Removals, hell go onto www.yellowpages.com.au for more details. Thats the go. :D

I used busfreight to get springs to me from QLD. They are good for heavier items, but each wheel would work out to about $30 I reckon, total $120. They go on weight of individual items, ie. each wheel.

Toll Ipec Road Express will do that, just make sure you protect the rims really really really well (maybe even stack them 2x2 on a skid/palette for extra security - but an additional cost).

I've delivered plenty of bare tyres in my time (and a set of 4 boxed rims today actually).

Can anyone recommend a Courier service here in Adelaide to Interstate

I just sold my front bar to Dineth. Organised through Air Road Direct, 1300 555 450. I just wrapped it up in bubble wrap and they picked it up this morning no worries. All paid for by Dineth in Melbourne.

Pack and send are sheit.

They charged me $20 for a crate to pack a diff in to send to Sydney. Then $110 for delivery.

They then had to pickup the changeover diff in the same box, and return it to Adelaide. Another $110

I got a call saying my package was here.

I go down there, and they have unpacked my stuff, and i have a diff sitting there, and no crate i payed $20 for anywhere in sight.

Last time i heard it was illegal to open other peoples mail.

that sounds like great value would be road freight so possible expect 2-3 days but @ least it will get there and safe did that include insurance on the rims

No Insurance being one off.

Should be OK. Hard to damage them as I have packed them + big item to loose.

You get tracking numbers to go with it.

Ive got a $95 quote via TNT Express to bring down 4 x 17's from NSW to Adelaide, I think it might go up $30 due to the weight (I said 12.5kg each rim/tyre). Getting it picked up next Tuesday............

:) yehah! 17's for my Stagea!

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
