Hey y'all,

I need some help with transport companies for getting my car from the workshop in Seven Hills (NSW) to Melbourne. Just wondering if anyone knows any good companies, and any details like transport time, insurance, and costs?

Can't drive it down on a UVP because i can't get it insured unless it's regoed - A friend had hooked up a trade plate for me (which includes insurance) but idea was shut down by parents :rofl: so yeah, looks like trucking for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

chinny

Hey Ash, I had to drive down with my mate because he works for the place that owns the trade plate. An employee has to be in the car, them the rules unfortunately.

Damn.... R34's rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First ever drive of any kind of Skyline!! Car is f*cking sensational!!! A lot of fun pulling over to the side of the Hume Hwy and legally booting it up to 110 :(

No front numbers plates aren't a bad thing either :)

Sup Nick!! Adz....

hahha, this car was bought June '04 ;) And it's still not rego'd!! No compliance plate yet... stil a few weeks off, but got some stuff to fix anyway, thanks to the fugly spoiler i just removed yesterday....

pics very soon... i really wish i documented the Syd -> Melb car trip on camera, but i forgot to bring it :(

thanks foznice. I hadn't even sat in a R34 before! eheheh, only skyline i had been in was Ni's 32. But yeah as alan said, it really is an experience to drive a powerful car for the first time. I never really gave her heaps... plus had 1 rim in the boot, 3 in the back seat and a mate in the passenger seat, but it's a slight jump from the pulsar, to say the least.

I've got the Xenon assembly still, but the low beams are now H1 ;) - Gonna buy BATMBL's Xenon kit, get those puppies back in where they belong.

2 Surprises. 1, i've got a turbo timer :(, and a 12 CD Stacker in the boot :D So that was nice. Advan AD07's still have lots of tread, and i'm actuallly like the AVS Model 5's now... will def put them on after the car is regoed. Also helps when the rears are 255's :D

Oh yeah, the traction control button works :D

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
