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

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

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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
