Dont know if anyone can help me or point me int the right direction but I'm chasing a shipping crate for an engine block that I'm sending to Japan..

Yes,yes have tried google and have got a few replies from emails but the companies I have spoke to want to sell them in bulk.

I'm after one engine shipping crate to send an engine block to Japan and then send my GT500 engine block back to OZ.

Crate can be wood or metal box but must conform to Australia and Japanese quarantine standards. Basically world wide shipping crate.

I'm not after a pallet but proper engine crate that the block can be packed up and sealed (nailed shut).

While I'm at it also one for a gearbox as have one sitting at Auto Gallery Yokohama ready to get sent to oz.

Any info, much appreciated

Dont know if this is best spot for this so if not can mods move it

Pretty sure t cant be wood unlless you want to have it fumigated. I would get some plastic pallets and fab something up

Theres definitely wooden engine crate (box) which are used for shipping engines world wide.

go straight to your shipping company. they'll have heaps laying around.

Any recommendations of decent reliable shipping company ??

Got carpentry skills?

I have 15x pallets at the front of my place after I'd built a retaining wall. I keep calling Boral to pick them up, and they don't come! :(

Terry, tell them you've got 40 pallets and they will come. Im a builder and we get rid of pallets that are left over after the site is cleaned is if we 'exaggerate' how many pallets we have. Works every time.

What sort of pallets Terry? If they are "Chep" or "Loscam" pallets.. Willl be sprayed on the side of the pallet. They are worth some $$$.. If they are scrap cheap looking pallets, yeah just exaggerate..

Hiya Craig,

About half of them are hardwood because I've dragged them across the road onto a wide council strip & they're damn heavy.

The other half are still well constructed but quite a deal lighter.

They all have BORAL 1300 ****** printed on the side > called them 3x to no avail.

Once I realised how heavy half of them were, I was tempted to drag them up the driveway, chained to the back of the Forester;

...but then I knew I'd be tempted to go a further Km to the highway at 3am and dump them there > let 'Accident Research' officers call Boral lol

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
