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!

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
