g'day guys,

wanted to post to see if anybody has had experience, or knows anybody trustworthy who can truck a car down to canberra from coffs harbour?

also, how much does this usually cost? time?

i know andrew (V33) had some bad experience before, but that was just in the ACT.

any help would be greatly appreciated

andy

You need to ring the transport companys, if they have a spare slot on one of the big car traliers they can do it cheap just fill the load. As my brother had his boat shipped down like that. Cost well you will have to ask them nicley

Talk to TNT, they do car couriering for the best price (I think it was TNT anyways...). The only downfall is they have a limited amount of "low clearance" trucks, so if the car is lowered you might have to wait a while for a truck to do a BNE -> SYD -> MEL route before it can pick your car up.

yeah my experience was with a tow company, who shall remain nameless

and also with everlast aswell, but everlast didnt do to much damage, but Nik's pretty much right on the money, if the car is low let them know and ask them to make sure its looked after and you should be fine.

car from what i've heard from the owner and from the pictures i've seen, is very driveable and in excellent condition for its age. but i don't particularly want to drive it all the way from coffs just after buying.

the seller said he found some cheaper quotes on freighting. and that carways for $440 looks good.

just see what i can do with my current car, and if all goes well, will be having some fun by friday next week :(

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
