I know frieght will be expensive, but will prob buy 2 - 4 engines, shipping should be tha same as I pay for a whole, dont know the word in english. Storage area, shipping wise. It wont be weight that has the final word on price. Arg. Bad explanation.

Im sorry, but want a used block as I want to build it myself. But thanks!

you get a whole shipping container? so you can put as much stuff in it as you want?

blocks like that are very easy to get over here, very cheap too, but will be hard to find someone who is willing to get it to the docks/onto the ship. because they are so cheap, its too much effort for something so worthless here

hello for shipping get a SLATTED wooden crate made to ISPM15 standard ( the standard for importing/ exporting wood so you do not get any problems with customs. or need fumigation to kill bugs.) get it made as small as possible to avoid shipping costs and also making it cheaper to buy the box. this way you can lock the motors into the crate. then any damage to the motors had to be there b4 it was packed. that way no 1 can blame the shipping company for rough handling or stolen parts. a pine sealed crate should cost you roughly $40 per square meter of box surface area. a slatted crate would be rougly $35.

to actualy ship the crate i would contact either ANTRAK logistics or ROHLIG both are massive multi-nationals i'd expect it to cost about 400 for a good export quality crate + roughly $1000+ for freight. and about 6-8 weeks waiting around.

regards

chris

You mean FCL - Full Container Load

Thats not cheap.

An LCL - Less than Container Load shipment is what you want.

If you are going to be shipping less then say 10CBM then LCL is the way to go.

If you have MORE than 10CBM then an FCL would be the best bet(even if you only half fill it) because you will pay minimum charges on each CBM when shipping LCL but a set rate for FCL.

Basically to make it all simple:

1) Contact a freight forwarder and tell them what you want to do. (number of packages, weight, Cubic dimensions, load port+destination port)

2) Discuss with chosen freight forwarder what services they can offer you (door to door, door to port, CIF, DDU etc)

3) Contact an automotive wrecker in Australia and make sure they have "X" amount of RB30 engines for you to purchase.

4) Contact your freight forwarder and advise them of your purchase and either do an International funds transfer to pay the wrecker or sign a letter of authority for the freight forwarder to act on your behalf and pay/collect engines from the wrecker and transport to forwarders depot for export pack.

5) Freight forwarder will then arrange for overseas export. They will have an agent in your country that can arrange the delivery of the engines to your door.

It's not that hard.

Why bother with ISPM15 compliant packaging? There is nothing to comply to.

He's importing into denmark which has no natural boundries so QUARANTINE (not customs) risks are null and void

I posted one to canada, cost $650 AUD in shipping, including the plastic pallet. The charges were based on weight alone. I can organise some for you if you are interested

That would have been airfreight?

And it's not based on weight alone.

It's called CHARGEABLE WEIGHT, which is calculated with a formula. i.e. 100kg of feathers will have a greater chargable weight then 100kg of lead because the feathers take up more space in the aircraft so you have to pay more. (lame example I know, but thats how is works)

ah fair enough, im not to familiar with Customs over that way in the world. At work i deal with a company called "cratemaster" all boxs/crates and timber are to ISPM15 so i just get every thing to that standard then i can guarentee that im not gonna get any unexpected fee's or calls from customs. But saying that i'd imagion most freight packaging suppliers would be complient. but in reality it wouldn't matter as long as the wood is good clean stuff.

It was sea freight, took 5 weeks. It was based on weight alone, as the chargeable weight dimensions for 140kg was over 1 cubic meter, therefore the same motor weighing 50kg would have been heaps cheaper. Put it this way, if it had been a140kg block of steel, it would have cost the same

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
