Hello!

Well I'm looking at buying a project Zed (2+2 260Z), it is in Towoomba QLD (about 2 hrs from Brizzy)...

How should I go about getting it here, obviously it would need to be put on a trailer and transported over here..

Who should I call, anyone here brought any cars over from QLD, just not too sure where to start..

kthnxbye! :P:thumbsup::)

TNT had my commodore trucked around OZ with them, totaly reliable, AND, they wash your car for you :thumbsup: there not that expensive either, Perth to Adelaide $300, Adelaide to QLD $700 and QLD to Perth $1000 - Coming home is always the most expensive! lol I dunno why either haha

They said that they don't do private... Only business stuff....

Maybe I should put it under the farm maybe... Hmmmm

[edit]

However, I got a quote from autotrans..

$1,400 from Toowoomba.

$1,220 from Brissy..

the cheapest i know of is JAYDE transport, (i'm in charge of a warehouse) next would be Toll.

but cheaper still is to ring a few east-west trucking companys and see if they got any trucks going with only half a load or no load, there usualy very happy to do things like this becuase it offsets there fuel cost when there not carting any thing esp if ur not in a hurry

what they mean is you need an ACC#

approach a local company with an account, get them to put it on there account and give them $100 or a carton on top of the freight fee.

I dealt with JAYDE frequently at my old work, recommend them!

IIRC I got an engine brought over from Sydney with them, only cost me ~$120

ps. insurance is a must, esp. if you deal with TNT

Plenty of topics on this question here...

I used Autotrans to bring my R from Brisbane. Cost $1400 I think from memory, or would have been $1800 if it was from North Qld :S However the seller of my car cbf taking it to Brisbane, and in the end took the $400 loss out of his pocket.

I also used Autotrans to take my Pulsar to Sydney and back, and that cost me $1100, so $1400 from Brisbane imo was a fair deal.

They seem to employ retards at there depot(s), at my old work we frequently had deliveries from a supplier (portable fridges etc) located in Malaga (to Kewdale), often orders came damaged, split consignments(that stayed missing), sometimes they would end up in Adelaide or Alice Springs because it got mixed with other loads and we wouldn't see the rest of the order for weeks... it was funny considering TNT's depot was 2km from my old work.

There is a delay with all companies by rail at the moment as there was a derailment so everything has been delayed by up to 2 weeks.

lol, how many is that for the year? I remember one that affected work a few weeks ago...

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
