Mitch - you car hire a car trailer for about $70 per day + $20 deposit. If you have a decent car to tow the trailer and able to drive over, spend the night and then drive back you could get your Skyline here for $140 plus fuel. $70 if you were really keen to drive over and back within 24 hours (although I wouldn't recommend this if you don't have someone to take turns at driving).

Just a suggestion.

how much do professional car carriers charge?

Being melb, it could be cheaper for you to put it on the back of the train

its not drivable so hardly any of em want to touch it

and the ones that do will take close to a month as its not priority :)

cheapest i found was $278 but that has to be dropped at the depo and picked up from the depo

are you an RAA member?

they do free towing to a certain point :D If not, sign up tomorrow, will cost u $115 for RAA plus, and then head over to melb and call them, make em tow it to the depot, and do the same when it arrives in adelaide

Problem solvered

-D

EDIT - They tow up to 20km in the city and up to 100km in rural areas for RAA Plus. RAA premium gives you 50km in the city, 200km in the boonies

nah im not

When you join on the spot you only get standard benefits for the first call out.

joining up wouldnt benefit me much , already been through this with a mate who works at RAA

nah thats when you call them out without being a member and then you pay the dude on the spot for membership

if you call them up on the phone, aka tomorrow, and apply for FULL raa plus/premium membership, you'll get full benefits the first time you call them - which is whenever you can get to melbourne to be honest

get a tow for the car to the depot, and then get the free taxi to the airport/train station, then the next day call RAA again and get another tow - standard benefits are few, but the plus at least gives you unlimited call outs and the towing..

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
