Hey guys,

Ive searched already before anyone asks :)

Can someone please post up a complete listing of container costs. I mean everything, from filling the container in Japan to the container being made available/delivered to you in Sydney.

Reason for asking; Planning a holiday/shopping trip to Japan later this year. Want to bring back a car (race use only, dont need ANY kind of rego, it will live on a trailer. Any numbers on the firewall will be purely decrative. The sort of car that couldnt get compliance for being too heavily modified) and of course, a mountain of parts.

Ideally id like to have a conainer sitting somewhere in a depot or similar in Japan on one of the very last days of the trip, and to bring all the parts by myself from hotel room and pack the container by myself (so i know everythings packed tight and where it all should be). Then lock it up so no one can get inside. Then hop on a flight and come home. A few weeks later, the container arrives in Sydney and is available for me to open and empty at a depot/similar with a ute and a car trailer. Sound easy enough?

Now, Im assuming customs will want to inspect whats inside which is fine cause there wont be anything dodgy inside, but other than them, no one else needs to see inside right? I mean need, not want. Also can their inspection be done with myself present (so i keep the key after locking it in Japan until its in Sydney)?

Container needs to include insurance, also im not fussed at all about transit times - so if its more money to have a direct ship (and of course it would be) it can go around the world on the way here for all I care.

So, any help will be greatly appreciated :rant:

BTW incase it matters, this will happen early december, just after the Nismo Festival.....when they release dates ill be booking flights

Sounds good mate! is email easier for you?

If you have no joy with that bloke, I can put you in contact with mine also but I think you will be fine.

Good Luck

Hey,

i not too sure what his costs will be, from what i've herd he is a little bit pricey but his speed is excellent.

I'm going on what costs customers from Peru/Colombia etc usually pay they say he is too expensive but their container broker sends their shit around the world before it turns up...

Pm me your Email and i will send to him :wacko:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
