I had my pride and joy transported btw syd and melb and then melb to perth. I was recommended to go thru TNT via an enclosed (covered) service and the car was very well looked after. I don't have the paperwork here but I think it was around the 600 mark.

Whoever you use make sure to take lots of pics before its loaaded on the truck that way you have proof should damage appear after transport.

Let me know if you are interested and I can give you contact details of someone who looked after me at TNT.

We use CEVA / TNT for door-to-door delivery at about $850 a pop... but be mindful this is including insurance for cars vauled at over $250k.

These are covered race-transporters.

We had one issue with an unload, but their insurance was quick to act and get things sorted out.

Every other transport has been fine - and we've moved upwards of 50 cars.

I've used toll for bringing a car down from regional QLD and another from Sydney, on both occasions to melbourne. I do depot to depot as we have a trade plate that we can put on the car and bring back to the workshop etc. Brissy depot to melb depot (laverton) is about $350. Sydney depot (Greenvale) to melbourne is around $280.

Trips TO melbourne are in general cheaper, as they're return trips for trucks that take cars to Sydney/Brisbane. If the car is a non runner its a lot more expensive, and if you need door to door, add $100 to each end for towing by Toll.

Call autotrans (their private booking agent) on 1300 660 616. Cars are fully insured... however no unsecured contents allowed inside the vehicles. Quite easy and nice to deal with, and the girls at the laverton depot are the biggest flirts ever. Good lookin too.

That said, each time I've needed to take an unregistered car that's reliable to drive to syd, I've just whacked a trade plate on it and driven it... for some reason none of the cars I bring to melbourne are reliable enough to drive over 800km.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
