I shipped the V-spec over to the new buyer through TNT. Think the cost was a little less because the trailers come over full, and go back empty so they drop the price (think he paid $450 cash to send back east). One thing to be aware of is the type of transport is goes on/in. There open and closed car carriers and would suggest staying away from sending it via rail. If sending by road, a fully enclosed carrier (carton) such as those used by TNT would be the go, less dust and dirt.

:cheers:

TNT offers a few types of services. check http://www.tntlogistics.com/ for more infos.

One friendly reminder.....get an insurance cover and make sure the sender takes PHOTOS of the car from front to back.......Take it while it was being loaded up to TNT trucks.

You'll need it if there is some minor scratches and you know how unreasonable some poeple can be...so..back it up with some nice solic photos.

Get the best container there is if, you pay for the better services. :cheers:

was looking at an FC in Adelaide awhile back but was deterred by the hassle of shipping the car to Perth... any idea how much it costs? also, when a car is brought interstate, what needs to be done to register it here?

got to get a permit if it doesnt have a rego to drive around........and fix whatever that they need to meet WA standards.

Go to the pit and get it checked... get approval and wah la....you got yourself a WA rego..

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
