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.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
