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

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
