Regardless of whom you use, i'd highly suggest putting it on a pallet, wrap the engine in plastic so nothing comes off or touches it and if possible box it over with massive "fragile, do not stack" signs all over it.

Who did you go through floody, Also I need to get a crate or pallet or something for the engine, I heard that when Toll sent my mates RB30DET they charged like $100 to build a crate around it?

Also I don't have an ABN number so I can't get a Toll account otherwise I would go through them, so any suggestions were you dont need an account?

Highly doubt Toll would offer to build a crate, well unless ive been walking around the depot's with my eyes closed for the last 3.5yrs....

What would be ideal is 1 of our Toll Fashion metal pallet containers..... hrmm gives me ideas!

it might pay to check the price to melbourne... as it cost alot for freighting to tassie. even though its a short distance, you nearly pay more from melbourne than you pay for an engine (350ci) from the states via sea freight! it is insane

it should be cheap to melbourne, get a ute and go pick it up at the depot in melbourne only cost $60 each way for vehicle and a seat ticket for yourself about same. can be done on the weekend.

Pffft $180 delivered i wouldn't even think about dicking around with the boat, fuel and boat fee's would cost more than :glare:

$180 freight is pretty cheap, but is that with insurance? the price is pretty heffty for insurance via some freight companys.

couple of years back a guy from here bought his VT wagon back with big chrome wheels, but when it landed here and went to get it, it didnt have the chromies on it!, and the body was covered in gravel dust and scratches...

no insurance, nothing could be done...

another guy bought a small create with couple of parts for his torana and motor but when he opened it couple of genuine parts, carbs, and i think tunnel ram were gone...

no insurance, ouch!

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
