Sydney To Adelaide Transport

[savage GTR]

Can anyone give me a idea how much it will cost and who to use to get a gear box from silverwater sydney to richmond adelaide. GTR getting new box and if its cheaper than $400 then it's money in my pocket saved

Any help would be appreciated

i would imagine is would be less than 400 to get it here...tell them to wack it on a pallet and get it couriered to your door. through someone like TNT or HI-TRANS or bluestar..something like that...

a whole car costs around 4-500 to get state to state so i can't image it would cost anymore than that.

i had a 351 ford v8 shipped over from melb to adelaide when i was building my ac cobra. cost me about 90 bucks thru toll i think

Well I got my whole car transported from Sydney to here for $350, so hopefully just a gearbox would be less!

I got my sisters Mazda 3 here a few days ago from Sydney with door-door service for $500...

Thanks for the reply's people.

The reason I was asking is because I can get a brand new gear box from advan in Sydney for $3000 and over here in adelaide nissan wants $3800 but will give it to me for $3400.

therefor if I can get it here cheaper than $400 , the change is in my back pocket not nissan's

plus more money towards the clutch

hmmm. thats expensive...have u considered going to someone like ppgearboxes and asking them what strong rebuild with yours would cost? thats alot of money...

[savage GTR]

To answer your question regarding rebuild cheaper option. You tell me what you would do if a new box cost's $3000 or just for the bearings it will cost $2600. The input shaft is making a racket and you need to get every bearing out to get to it. Plus I've been told redoing the bearing's might not get rid of the noise anyway.

By the way , the car does put out 297rwks and to rebuild properly with ppg would cost $9000-$10000 anyway or a holinger is $20000 approx

ah i see your justification.

[Ryanrb25]

does that come with the transfer case with brand new clutch packs in it?

[savage GTR]

no , I have to put my old transfer case onto the new box other wise more dollars. Trying to keep it as cheap an exercise as possible . keep the wife happy. lol

[Ryanrb25]

ahh ok...yea thats' always a priority... just make sure the clutch packs aren't completely f**ked. a common thing with gtr's. you best driving it around town in 2wd rather than 4wd just so they dont wear out. they're expensive i believe.
