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

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
