Apologies in advance for a question that has most likely been covered, but I have no internets at home and zero time at work to search (had a quick search but nothing)

I need to ship a car from Melbourne to Hobart, who have you used? and how much (ballpark $$ is fine)

I would like to go over to pick it up and shoot back on the boat, but just dont have the time at the moment.

Thanks guys ;)

pay a mate to do it? prob cheaper than shipping lol. a quote my mate got was like 1000 from SA for a car, and like 600 from melbourne.

get a friend or do it your self, cost a fortune and there is no way i would trust some shipping guy that probably gets paid stuff all and drives a shitty HQ ute to drive my car.

I had a blast flying over and picking my car up and sailing back.

Make time and do it your self ;)

yeah throw a mate a fiddy and get him to bringit back for ya. last time we took a track car on the spirit they almost crushed the rail, so you gotta make sure they're doin things properly so send someone you can trust to look out for ya.

I would recommened to go over your self. I went over the other week to get my GTR and it was great fun. Went Sat afro and on the boat that night. I had a cabin on the boat which was great. I was chatting to a father and son from Lindisfarne who went to melbourne to buy a car. It only cost me about $485 $365 for car and cabin and $120 for Airfare but sure you can get it cheaper. Also at least you know the car is being looked after.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
