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...

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
