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

i used civa tnt,,,,cost 2 grand from brizzy to perth bt that was in a container,,they offer cheaper transport tho...i got the dude i bought it from to drop the car at civa tnt brizzy.....he sent me a pic msg of the car at tnt and i then transfer the cash risky bt it was all good in the end...

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.

any particular reason about insurance with TNT?

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.

Yip very cheap to contaniner by sea but the dock fees are over the top mate sorry no good

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...

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
