Hey Guys/Gals,

Been looking through previous topics etc about this to find advice on what option is best. Im bringing a R34 GT-R over from Perth to Sydney.

Have spoken to CEVA got a quote for $750 for normal transport depot to depot and $1700 for Race/Prestige in enclosed container.

I really want to keep the car out of the elements on its journey, should this be a concern or will normal be fine? I want the container but not the price haha.

Willing to pay up to $1200 there abouts. Any ideas or anyone done this before? Would rail be an option?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers,

Justin

$1700 sounds like a fair price to me.

8 pallet spaces from Perth to Sydney would be at least that for general freight, so a car, enclosed, on the same trip for $1700 sounds right.

Peace of mind having the car in an enclosed container is great too, does that price include insurance? I can imagine the look on my face if i got a giant box delivered to me, opening it up and seeing a R34 GTR.. mmmmm!

Goodluck bro.

This may help - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/376895-getting-a-car-transported-from-perth-to-sydney/

Its from when I was looking at bringing one over from Perth.

A few different companies listed in there.

Trust me, you're $1700 container quote is a bargain compared to what I was quoted a few months ago (by the same company).

^ Holy shizzle. $3K+ that does make my $1700 look great now. Im leaning towards biting the bullet and paying it for the race prestige just for the fact that the front diffuser isn't going to get mashed, there will be no dust etc on the car. Sorry missed your topic on my search, it's a mission but all be worth it in the long run.

@ Sean - Yeh man it's going to be like a big christmas present. Open the container and just zomg jizz. Hahaha

I can recommend CEVA for transportation. Very helpful and communicate in all proceeds of when I bought my GTR and had it transported. Car arrived, same condition as it was bought in...except dirtier because of the dust while it waited for transportation :P

^ Yeah man that Nullabor straight is pretty impressive. I have done it a few times. Still patrolled by Highway Patrol too, as I found out the hard way hehe.

*Update* New quote through www.automove.com.au for Syd-Perth in an enclosed container (condition: min ride height >10cm all round) $1495. Will post the company that it will be going with as soon as im aware!

Cheers!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
