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.

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?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
