Has any here had any exprience with shipping stuff from america (arizona) to australia (perth)?

Because I have tracked down a guy with 2 of my rims. Weighing about 20 pounds each i know it is going to be cheap but it will still be worth it...

Can he send them over and I pay them for them so he doesnt have to outlay any money? Or does he have to pay them then i reinburse him?

I just need to know where to start....

Can anyone point me in the right direction in who i should contact etc etc?

thanks guys...

when you buy a return ticket to south africa from australia, it sometimes works out more expensive than to buy a one way ticket and then buy a one wayer with SA rand home again, because of the exchange rate.

follow?

your best bet will probably be via sea-shipping....and you would be well advised to get quotes from both ends.

dude check with C-red as well. I know TNT and stuff do all kinds of shipping, but c-red have a rep i think for their cars or parts etc over in the US. maybe they can organise it fairly cheap, or at least their dude in the US might be able to. His name is on their website

20 pounds each?? thats pretty heavy ... if u want to send it via postal ... www.usps.com will be ur cheapest option ... as i've shipped heaps of stuff via that and found it to be quite good ... but yeah ... will be pretty expensive ... you're lookin at about at least 100 bucks a rim i think.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
