HAs anyone else gone through the exercise of ringing around and getting prices on storage garages around Melb?

Im over my place looking like a car parts shed and storage place for my sisters shit for when she moved to England.

So anyone know if one place is better then another...is it worth going out of the Melb area, do they get cheaper further out of the city?

Further out is cheaper from what ive found

But that could more have been different companies than anything

Its really hard to workout how much room you need, best to go down there and see it in person is what i found

I looked into it about 3-4 years ago... but then just ended up using a mates shed :)

I'm pretty sure Kennards has fixed pricing.

The cost isn't too bad for a smallish storage shed, my best mate was using one a little while ago, can't remember how much it was though.

I looked into car storage about a year ago now, and they charge like $200 a month :D

Storage King on Nepean Hwy behind Office Works at Moorabbin. We put all our stuff in when went to the UK for a year, not sure how much it is but we still have some bits in there. Will let you know mate :)

Fry's self storage in Bayswater is probably the cheapest in melbourne. 5.6 cubic m lock up storage for $55 a month. 11.2 cubic m for $100 a month. 16.8 cubic m for $125 a month.

Bris, I used kennards in oakleigh a while ago and all was good.

One thing I'd point out is insurance....if you want your stuff properly covered then I believe you have to put it under your own house and contents policy....don't take this as gospel though, just ask the questions.

lol, so this is what we've come to eh bris?

once you've put all your crap in storage, can I store some of my gear at your place? only need about 30 or 40 m2 for now, don't sweat.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
