Hey guys.

Im in the process of buying a full exhaust system from another forum member over east and im trying to suss out some freighting.

I checked the sticky in the forsale section and they say to go through AirRoad .

I did a quick price through their quote system, for 230x50x50 cm. and about 25kg weight, and im getting a rough quote of $212 ! , i think because of the shear size of the exhaust it gets consigned to the 144kg marked category.

But anyways, who of you chaps have shipped something similar / size / weight , how much did it cost you, and who did you go through?

Any comments/recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

TNT (www.tntlogistics.com.au) are good also

my bro is having his GTiR shipped from NSW at the moment with them...they have a good track and trace program

I think they would price the exhaust by length and not weight, becuase you could have say a computer 19"+ CRT monitor that weighs 25kg but obviously will take up less space

airroad have good prices and are quite pro, i had my utes hardcover deliverd for $130 (bargain!) and the online tracking is superb

If your not in a blazing rush busfreight are the cheapest i found, and also a very professional service, although it takes about 7 days for delivery.

ah yeah kool kool

im not that fussed as to when it gets here.

I think i'll go through airroad

managed to now just bubble wrap the exhaust, and create a dimension of about 230cmx30cmx30cm which makes it a bit cheaper now.

Thanks all for your suggestions.

      I strongly recommend anyone playing with cars chasing anything electric, get a basic understanding of using a DMM, and about 12V DC systems. They're REALLY easy, you only need to know V=IR and how to apply it, and you can work out what your readings should be doing. For a simple check on a light bulb, you're looking for 12V at the positive to the light, a near zero resistance to ground, and then for a small resistance across the globe when unplugged. If one of those values isn't right, you won't get what you need. Now if they're all okay,and you then plug the light in, and it still won't work, you now do a voltage check across the globe positive to negative. It should effectively read full battery voltage. If it's not, especially if it's quite low, the age old V=IR starts to be able to be thought about, you now know though, for the current flowing, there isn't much voltage for the given resistance, but the rest of that V has to be dropping somewhere else. So now do a voltage check from ground of globe, to ground of car, then do voltage check from positive of battery, to positive of the light connector. Things like a high resistance in a wire/join will start to "steal" voltage on you. So now step back through which ever wire, until you find the voltage drop is non existent, you're now before what ever is steal your voltage for example.   There's plenty of YouTube videos, but really worth understanding some V=IR, and doing some even theoretical numbers to start to understand it. Then you'll know what the DMM is telling you.

      Consider yourself lucky it was just a bulb
