Hello every1,

Im interested in a car which is located in Perth and I live in Sydney.

I was hoping to get advice on any companies which transport cars from Perth to Sydney and a rough idea on cost if anyone knows.

Thanx.

Your best bet would be to look at transporting companies man.

costs can range from 900 up to 1600 depending on which comapny you use. You can enter the details of your car on most company web pages and they generate a quote

i have used Ceva several times now. the thing you have to remember most will use the train so the do get dirty. Most places give the car a wash before you pick it up but in saying that if its a nice car i would tell them not too the wash it myself on the way home.

Ceva cost us around $1100 from Melb to Perth as an idea, that was door to door.

Thanx 4 the info. Its a r34 gtr I dont mind if it gets dirty as long as it doesnt get scratched or dented on the way. Did any of ur cars get damaged at all?

I'd be worried about the front vspec diffuser if they are getting it on / off numerous forms of transport as they sit quite low. Do u kno if this would be a issue?

Thanx again.

depends on the driver at the time. My 32 was lower than standard but still way above legal. I had a few small rub marks but nothing a cut and polish wouldnt fix. They are insured just make sure that who ever is at this end gets all the marks (if any) on the pickup form and you have a copy when you get the car. This way if there is any new marks you have proof.

I used Ceva Logistics to move a my car from Perth to Sydney.

Took about two weeks (maximum) and car was in great shape. They noted any marks before it went on the truck and double checked them and ran through them with me when I came to pick it up.

They don't do door to door but it depends, I had to use Ceva because my car was too low, drop it off at Welshpool in Perth and pick it up at Villawood in Sydney.

Work paid for the shipping of my car but it was around $900 from what I remember, however, I got it a little cheaper than usual because I was using a Courier company to relocate so they did a better price. (Allied Pickfords)

Hope that helps mate, good luck.

yeah I used CEVA a few times, pay a bit extra for the premium or race car service for cars too low to go up the ramps of the trucks, and it goes into a container at one end and doesn't come til the other..it was only a couple hundred more..thumbsup.gif

I received the quote from Ceva 2day for gtr transport.

VehiclesNISSAN SKYLINEQuote Charges:AUD 3330.65GST:AUD 333.07Total Charges:AUD 3663.72

Unfortunately this is a bit much for me, so will wait for 1 to pop up closer to this side of the country.

Thanks 4 all ur help guys.

My god, thats an insane Price. Would be cheaper for you to pick it up in Melbourne and then drive back the NSW. , Better yet, would be cheaper if you take a plain to Perth, and drive it back too. :thumbsup:

Damn, that's a lot. Just for reference, here is a quote that I just ran through there website for my GTR from the Perth Depot to Melbourne Depot

Hello, thanks 4 that. Yes, standard service is much cheaper but they said because of the ride height it has to go through their premium / race service only as they need a trailer with hydrolic lifters to get it on.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
