Hey All,

Been trying to figure out how to get a front cut down from Sydney, i have been quoted $500 but this was a bit ritch for me so i was thinking of flying up hiring on of the small trucks from Avis or somehting and driving it back down to Melbourne...

So there is going to be a fair bit of room in this truck so if anyone wants anything from just jap or any other performance places in sydney PM me and ill see what i can do.

I wont charge much for freight im just tring to cut back overheads, im not out to make $$$.

The way this will work is:

1. check i have room (if yes go to step 2, if no...sorry too late)

2. ill contact every one to let them know this is a go ahead

3. order and pay for the item and let them know ill be picking it up (ill have a date and times at a later date)

4. i drive em all back down to melbourne

5. you make deposit into my account to help pay for freight. (or cash on pick up)

6. we figure out where and when to meet to get your goodies.

And remember, if you dont pay for the items then i can't pick them up, if you dont have the money for freight you can't pick them up.

this is where you kick yourself, i took a pallett of parts to sydney last weekend (a whole interior), picked up a car and came back last weekend. but my UTE was empty on the return

i go up often, u need a front cut picked up ? panels and everything ? or just bare essentials ?

my next trip is for xmas

im guessing your looking at leaving the truck in melb instead of driving it back, so once you add it up this is what your looking at:

truck rental for 2 days: $200 - $300+ return fee

Fuel: around $200

Air fare: $80-100

Time: 2 days

Add it all up and its worth getting it shipped to avoid all the running around and wasted time, in the end you wont be saving a whole lot, maybe a couple of hundred but is it worth all the f**king around when for that money it could be delivered to your door.

I can hire a truck from a company that only use em mon to fri so they are happy for a slab for me to use it on the weekend, as for rip off thing...I'm happy for you to meet me, he'll come to my house, that way even if I do a runner you can find me.

Hi mate -

I can help with your halfcut. I am traveling down to melbourne from sydney this weekend 17/10 with a 1 ton ute and car trailer to pick up a project car i just bought from melb. I am currently empty from syd to melb, so can work somthing out for fuel $$$ provided u can get it on and off the ute.

I have room for a car as well syd - melb, and freight melb - syd as well if anyone interested.

Also I am fully insured and a registered business and advertise as "aussie discount freight" in hpi, boost, hot4's, commodores so u know its in safe hands.

If u interested let me know on 0412825306

Don't suppose anyone is bringing a car trailer down from syd to melbourne in the coming weeks?

Otherwise what sort of costs would people expect for a road trip there an back with a car trailer?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
