Rough cost for a 20ft container to fit a single car is about $2,500. Not sure about the costs of a 40ft container, but there's an increased risk of damage to the cars if they shift in the container during freight (not sure how common it is but I've seen it happen).

Check out other threads in this section for costs. The costs can vary depending on the car and what scheme you are importing them under.

this may seem very, very obvious but the people most qualified to give you pricing on containerised freight from japan are the shipping companies. also don't forget to add loading costs, unloading costs, other local charges etc.

it's a heck load cheaper to just use a drive on drive off carrier. much safer and much more convenient and MUCH more modern.

if you want parts just stuff them in the boot and the interior... but don't expect to keep them when the car arrives cos dock workers work there for a reason...

...to steal shit.

which is even more risky in a seatainer

down where it's better down where its..... you get the idea..

    • Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold? 
    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
