Having a bit of a dilemma trying to decide and organise transport of my 32 GTR.

As some of you may be aware my car has just had a major restore job done on it over the last year which included replacing panels, mouldings, pans kit etc and now has a fresh coat of paint.

I need to get the car back to Albany (the car is complied but unregistered) so have organised to get the car put on a 'Car transport Truck', but am now thinking the car is to low to get on to truck without scratching up the front lip?

I am aware I could take of the front bar but then I would have to organise transport of that also!

Idea of how low it is about 2.5 inches to ground

The car is also not starting at the moment (fueling issue) so therefore cant get temporary movement permit and drive it!

Was thinking I mite get a car trailer and tow it down myself? Has anyone had success using a car trailer and not removing front bumper etc?

I am Just really after some peoples opinions?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Spewin' you can't drive it, I went to Albany a few weeks ago for a paintball training camp - drove the 'line there and it was reasonably fun :D

Yeh its not to bad a drive I used to do it all the time in my GTS-T but yet to take the GTR on the trek!

your insurance won't cover a car if it is damaged on a car trailer

Yeh true mate but I dont see any other way! I also have the problem of working away and not being there if we were to load it up on a car carrier!

i use CEVA to transport my cars. they have afuuly enclosed truck with a lift on it so high is no problem. Will cost a little more than a tow car with trailer but for piece of mind its good.

check the bottom of this link i think they have one of these trailers in Perth.

Thanks for your input guys!

I have checked out CEVA am just waiting for a reply quote!

I think your correct GWP021 when you tow another vehicle the cover on the vehicle you are driving 'if full cover" usually covers it!

I managed to get the oldman to let me borrow his BT-50 so if need be I am going to tow it down now- just need to hire a good car trailer!

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
