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...

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
