Good one this.

I used a container and I also have a contact at the clearance company. I stated when I shipped it from London that it was not to be opened without me (incase of needing to make an insurance claim, I wanted to know where the blame would lay). When it was at the quarantine place (first port of call off the ship), I got a call to come down.

To get it through without it being opened they had been told it had a padlock on and I had the key. I turned up and they got it down with the giant forklift thing and no one there could understand why it hadnt been opened as there was no padlock!

Anyway, they opened it there in front of me and I was allowed to wander round the car and look inside but not take anything.

I also contacted the clearance company prior to it arriving to state it was not to be opened.

About $2800 for mine.

2800 to 2500.

Q1 Was that a shared container.

Q2 Is this the Total cost instead of RORO

Q3 Perth or another port

No - Sole use of 20ft container. I think they only come in 20ft and 40ft. Depending on the company, some said you can only stack your belongings around the car, others said only in the car. In the end I went with one that said in the car and am glad I did as the amount of condensation in the containers is horrendous due to the climate changes etc that the ships go through. That also included collection and delivery to the docks in the UK but only as far as the wharf at this end.

Q2 - Yes total cost not including taxes. i.e I paid my 2800 which included insurance and the use of the container and straps to hold the car down.

Q3 - Was to Melbourne.

Company I used was Anglo Pacific which is also their website I think. Were very cheap but a bit poor on the communication and knowledge front.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
