Need to send my 33gtr down to Adelaide from Gold Coast.

Currently unregistered but complied but is currently being returned to stock to sell.

I'm chasing a decent and trustworthy company to transport the car which has to be around 23rd of next month.

Anyone recommend anyone decent ??

:cheers: :cheers:

I've used ceva and wasn't entirely happy (took 2 weeks longer than quoted, customer service was lacking), plus they are more expensive than others.

Was very happy with Patricks when i used them.

Often some of the smaller companies might 'truck share' and put your car on ceva anyway, so you can get the same service a bit cheaper.

I'm about to use CEVA to transport my 33 gtr to Brisbane through work. Car is being collected next week and due to arrive in Brisbane early February so I can report back on my experience after everything is sorted.

Price isn't an issue as I am not paying for it but I'll be using the RAPS service they have available which is for race/prestige vehicles.

I have used Alan's Unique Car Carriers.

They picked up the car in QLD near noon and arrived mine in SYD in arvo the next day!

Door to door service. Fully enclosed, no drop off at depot. Same driver. Also received phone calls from driver to update his location and eta. Do need to pay a bit more though, but worth it for peace of mind.

Ok still have not locked a company down but so far Patricks are looking the goods as door to door service.

CEVA wont pick up the car in QLd and only want to do depot to depot and got to say customer service isn't that flash. They wanted photos of the car before they would answer any questions and after explaining the car is stock, stock, stock so ride height is no issue they finally answered some of my questions. Best answer was " so how would you recommend getting my car to your depot, do you recommend a carrier ? " answer was "err , dunno, wouldn't have a clue"

Maybe got a bad apple service person but it put me off.

I'll give Alans a call as well but so far Patricks have been very professional.

Oh and thanks to everyone who has replied , owe youse a beer or a hundred some day. :cheers: :cheers:

Ended up using Patrick as Ceva would not do pick up and I had to do delivery drop off in Brisbane.

Car is still in transit but so far been happy with the service.

Hey mate, I know this is an older post but just in case you're still looking or someone else stumbles across this thread in a similar situation, I’d recommend checking out P&S Logistics. They operate routes from the Gold Coast to Adelaide, and they’re pretty flexible with dates. I’ve found them to be reliable and professional, which is what you want when you're dealing with something as valuable as a GTR.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • 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.
