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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
