just thought i'd share some info ... my company produces alot of stuff and ships it all over australia, so when i had to send a set of suspension i told the guys to do it for me and they said to use this company http://www.startrackexpress.com.au/

rates are so cheap .. a full set of suspension .. weighing probably 30 kg's will cost about 20 bucks from adelaide to melbourne... and be delivered the next day!!! over 10 years my company has never ever been late nor has anything been lost!! and they have depots all over the place!!! let me know if theres another place that can do it better and cheaper :D

hey scotty .. u know i got told today and u can just ring up the place and use the account number that u will see on it ... and they will charge my company and they will even pick the stuff up from ur place ... u won't have to do a thing .. just make sure its packed good .. just try and use the same boxes that came with my stuff ... my friends at work did it all for me .. i didnt' have to worry about a thing it was that easy!!! .... but pm me later with ur number and i'll call u to tell u what to do ..

if they did ship international what they would have to do is hire another company over there to do the work there .... like if overseas companies send here they usually hire a local company i think ... i doubt it be cheap ... but to tassie?? ui'm pretty sure it will come under 200 easily for an engine ... i'm betting 150-100 bucks ... u just have to make sure its boxed .. cause its charge on the size or weight .. whatever costs more ..

yeh i understand its not based on weight its the amount of area it takes up in their truck/van/boat/plane

mate got his SR20+Gbox from adelaide to hobart for under $200 in little over a week. they picked up the pallet from the importer, and phoned him when it was ready to pickup in hobart. all he had to do was drive down there with a trailer and they dropped it on there.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
