hey guys i was just wondering does any one have any idea how much it would cost to send a 6point bolt in fullcage from melbourne to sydney via courier?

sorry but i figured people in here would know best as most of you would have a cage in your car, please move this if there is somewhere better for it.

Thank you in advance

Well it would be cheaper for you to drive and pick it up yourself (i'm not kidding).

The problem is most of the bars won't be straight and lots of different sizes so packaging it up will be near impossible except for some bubble wrap. It's more the weird dimensions than the actual weight (i'm guessing about 100kg) because the costs will be worked out on the total area of the bars rather than the actual dimensions and weight of the pipe itself.

Try and get a large cardboard box from a local car dealer (manufacturer not a used car yard) that they package bumpers/guards in and get as many bars into that box then just bubble wrap up the main hoop.

Edit:

TNT, Startrack Express, Toll Ipec Road, Direct Freight would be the companies to get quotes from first after you have packaged it up and got the dimensions + weights.

I sent some stuff on a pallet from Sydney to Melbourne, all up cost was about $135

Mind you, i was expecting to spend $200 due to size and weight, so when i told him it was ready to be sent and i only want your best price as im doing the call around he dropped the quote from 240 to 135 and i gave him credit card details straight away

I just had a look, cant remember the name of the company. But use that method and see how you go

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
