Hi guys,

I need to get some parts sent down from another state down to VIC. I used to use this service - they're relatively small - you just do it all online - put in measurements, weight and it gives you a price which you can pay online for and then specify a time and they will arrange pick up and delivery that is relatively cheap too. Can't seem to remember this group.

Any ideas of reliable and similiar srevivces?

Thanks fellas.

I think transdirect may have changed their policy.

But you use to have to get the sender to label the boxes.

One of the labels fell off one of my rim boxes and they lost it.

6 months later after the claim. I finally got it finalised and will receive a pay out for the lost rim.

Other than that, they have been pretty good all other times.

I think they may have started to get the driver to stick con notes on the boxes themselves.

You cannot rely on the label you print from the carrier. That is for their records and processing.

ALWAYS write on the carton directly, or tape on a seperate receiver/sender address label.

I send literally thousands of consignments and have never once lost one (touch wood!).

There's a risk to putting it less than what it is. Get pinged and pay more.

Putting it slightly more can have a drastic change in price.

A lot of the time my weight isn't an issue. It's the volume that is.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
