I have done a couple of quotes right from NSW to WA

TOLL Autotrans want 1190 but 14 days transport

TNT want 1260, they havnt told me how long tho

14 days to me sounds a bit much.. is this how long it takes from sydney?

there is an internet based one which is door to door.. they are 1300 but i duno, a freinds mustang came back witha big dent in it and they said it must of been there allready.

I had my car sent over by TNT AutoTrans, very good service. Mine too 12 days I think. But I imagine it could take less depending on when the next shipment is leaving. And the biggest reason it takes so long is because it goes Depot -> Truck -> Rail -> Depot -- I'm pretty sure.

My car is being brought over from NSW to WA at the moment. There was a derailment which is why they are saying 14 days as opposed to the usual 8.

Was in same position as you in terms of getting qoutes from TNT and Autotrans.

Autotrans: $1190 but they don't cover stone chips and it's not enclosed

Toll: $1222.99 with cover for stone chips and any damage and they send it enclosed on the rail.

However with the derailment, I have been told something different everytime from TNT in terms of times and also method of transport as they are saying it will be quicker for it to go to NSW depot> truck to Melb depot>Boat>WA depot rather than originally planned way of NSW depot> truck to Adelaide> Rail to WA depot.

I really don't know what's going on so will be on the phone tomorrow to see what's the go.

I had my car transported from NSW for about $1400 by Ceva Logistics...took about 2 weeks and had to go from NSW-->Sydney-->Melbourne-->Adelaide-->Perth Rail-->Perth Depot.....if you ask me, I'd rather pay abit more to have it come straight here as 2 weeks was too long!! I didn't know it'd take so long btw...

to have it sent priority they qouted me $2200....i was like mmm nah i'll pass. all the cars from NSW they said will go through same process and won't come straight here i don't think unless you pay the premium for priority service.

drive it!!! that's the only way. don't have much choice in terms of trusting them, they would only be driving it on and off tow trucks etc and with all of them and mine i got a sheet stating the k's on the car and any damage etc so will be thoroughly inspecting it when it arrives before accepting it.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
