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

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
