Well not quiet cause im already here, but my car will be here soon. I've booked it on the India Pacific as its the cheapest way i could find to get it over and should be arriving on the 10th of next month (fingers crossed i don't get bumped)

Appart from just being excited to see my car again, had to tell someone even if i don't know anyone here yet :P I was more interested to see if anyone had experiance with shipping there car by train? Anything I should be watching out for? I've already checked that Just Car will cover it while its in Transit and NRMA home and contents cover all the stuff i have chucked in it while in transit :)

Its not too low, setup for handling rather then looks :D however... i have kinda piled all my stuff in it :D The good thing is my brother is required to drive it onto the train so atleast i know someone won't be doing a 4k launch up the ramp and riping out all my piping. He will have to have someone follow him there so he can get home so if its over loaded hopefully he can remove some of the stuff...

I sent my car from Sydney to Perth by train in 1995 and it was a nightmare.

Firstly some a$$wipe drove the car 85km and thrashed the guts out of it as it had used over a 1/4 tank of fuel and 1lt of oil.

I had the car carrier company charged with auto theft and threatened to sue them. They paid over $5k damages as the whole exhaust and chassis rail had deep gouges (car was lowered). The clutch and fanbelts were rooted, but the car was never the same after it was repaired. I felt violated, but I got justice.

I had used a car carrier from door to door, but it was handled by 3 different companies under contract.

If you are in control of the car, I would think it will be fine, but just make sure you keep the keys. I have heard that a few thefts from the cars does happen, so do not pack the car with valuables.

I ended up sending the car back via TNT road and had no issues, except it needed a good wash.

Well she arrived yesturday, all in one piece and not a scratch on her. Gave it a wash and she's shining now.

Didn't have any problems with the service i even had all my TV's / Stereo's in the rear seat and nothing was touched.

First thing i noticed driving in NSW around my area (Mosman) is the roads suck ass. I'd have to say WA roads are on average about 2000% better from my limited driving knowledge in Syd.

So watch out people there is a crazy WA driver on the roads...

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
