Couriers Wordwide Express

http://www.cwe.com.au/

These guys are a courier broker.. They use mainly TNT couriers end to end, but you only pay a fraction of the cost of going to TNT directly. For example, I sent a 42" plasma TV. Box was over a metre long and 80cm high weighing 50kg. Cost me $55 to ship from Melbourne to Sydney. Unbeatable price! A TNT courier picked up the box, and a TNT courier dropped it off too.

thank guys,, on more question. .i'm gonna send the 19" Rays with tyres out should get a BIG box for each wheels or just hand it to courier company? cheers

A courier company wont take them unless they are boxed up.. Maybe visit packsend to see if they've got boxes big enough to fit all four tyres/wheels. Most likely though you'll have to pack them separately. Call your courier company and ask them to quote the price for one big box (you will need dimensions + approx weight of the box), and also get a quote four smaller boxes. They SHOULD work out about the same, but sometimes the price changes over a certain size/weight because they need to send a truck with two guys or a hydraulic rear loader (because one guy in a van cant take a giant 80kg box cos he cant lift the box on his own for example).

Keep in mind that the smaller your box is, the cheaper it will be. So try to find boxes that perfectly match the size of the rim+tyre. If they dont, modify the boxes so there isnt too much wasted space.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
