We find that most ships take around 12-14 days roughly, with the occasional one going up to 16-17 days but not usually any longer ... if you tell us the name of the ship and your destination port then I can give you a more exact date?

Your car won’t necessarily get on the first ship your agent says, other larger clients always have priority. There are many problems which may affect the service, berth congestion in Japan and Australia can sometimes cause delays (although both Japanese & Australian ports are pretty good). Big ports in developed countries have 'windows' in which each vessel is given a certain time to arrive by and they have 'guaranteed' reserved birthing space. If ships miss their 'window' to berth at a port they get placed to the back of the cue. There are various other random delays that can cause significant delay also. If the vessel calls into smaller countries along the way, these are usually the places where delays occur. But on a route from Japan to Australia you shouldn’t really encounter many problems and vessels tend to stick to the schedule most the time. I'm ship planner at ANL container lines and deal with delays everyday (mostly from ships visiting smaller pacific islands and sub-standard stevedoring activities that cause a major pain in the ass.)

recently a mate just imported a ae111 sprinter.

took 2 months.

plus customs charged him extra money to go over it in a quarantine procedure. which was a 'random' thing

that was an extra 3wks

Very happy with mark hocking, BTW. i have about 200 pictures of everthing - the car inside and out, it being driven to the boat, it being drien ON the boat, it sitting in the park space on the boat, it being tied down, all the shit being hidden (log books, flares, timer, speed meter etc).

Ship docks at brisbane 15th march, left japan today (27th feb) so really thats about 2 1/2 weeks or so. Decent!

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
