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.

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
