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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
