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.

Ring some other companies - that's a terrible quote.

I was thinking about this last night, expecting quotes to come in around the $1400 mark, it should be possible to get it back here for less. The flight has to be cheap (jetstar on sale), don't speed with it at ALL (lower speed = better fuel econ so stick to 110kmh and stay constant throttle not on boost off boost), drive each day until you're tired than put the seat back and sleep in the car (not as comfortable as a hotel but saves $80-100 per day and allows you to drive each day until you're tired so you don't rely on motel locations). It's not exactly a fun few days, but I've done similar (2400+ k's one go) and once you have a shower at the end and a good sleep you're fine.

He's right, that quote is nuts. more than a fresh paint job on another gtr I'm guessing.

Steve-o that's a pretty epic trip. How long did it take?

Yeah needed some new CD's for that one. 15 hours there from memory, 3 hours stop waiting for someone else who was late so I had a sleep in the car, then straight back another 15 hours. I slept well after that.

hey guys i transported my 32gtst through ceva from perth to sydney depot to depot cost me $720 and took 6 days to get it. That was in 09 so prices could have gone up. hope that helps

ok, ill take one for the team and voluteer to help drive back.

i once bought a car from adelaide due to price.

flew down from sydney, train out to location suburb, test drive car, drive back.

done this with my dad.

24hr round trip.

awesome to drive all that way, get back, crash for a few hours, wake up and see your new pride and joy sitting in the driveway....

just give me some notice so i can out in for holidays at work :thumbsup:

either way you go, good luck finding a car.

Thank u 4 the offer thats very nice of u, but have decided to just wait for a local 1 to pop up. Got another drive around car now so not in as much of a rush 2 get 1. Thanks again tho.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
