hey guys how are yas?

well im 90% sure of buying a car in VIC..Its an R32 GTS4..just gotta go and check the engine and what not.

the only problem is getting it back to SA as thats where i live.

I thought about driving it back but cbf lol

so i have to freight it over.

So i got some prices from 2 companies one is BHF Transport and the other is AutoTrans

BHF quoted me $974 and AutoTrans quoted $418

obviously id go for AutoTrans as they are much cheaper but i was wondering if this was a fair price. (both companies included GST and fuel levy in their prices.)

Also does anyone know of any good car freight companies out there?

cheers vinnie

Hey mate,

I brought my R34 from NSW and got it shipped to Vic for $330, the company was SMB (sydney Melbourne Brisbane) great service, car arrived as in the same condition before it left. Hope that helps. Cheers

i had one from sydney to brisbane - 900 with autotrans, very good service

my skyline from vic to brisbane - 940 with patrick autocare, they smashed my car up with 1400 dollars damage and i had to pay another 150 excess and had to tow it to get quotes at my expense. they suck.

use auto trans even if there abit more expensive. the 50 bux i saved using another company cost me 400 instead

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
