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.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
