I got my CA18DET and gearbox delivered from Sydney to Melbourne. As long as the engine is loaded onto a pellet the company I used charged $120 to pick up and deliver to my workshop in melb.

Always use private couriers, they're so much cheaper and will bend over backwards for your business (like organising a truck with a crane to pick up pellet if there's no loading facilities etc).

You might want to try putting it on a pallet instead... I wouldn't trust a pellet to support the weight of a motor. :)

(before i get flamed for my pedantics, funky started it!)

thanx peoplz lucky for me i got two jobs and one of em has forklift access... and yes private couriers are the way to go.

i also rang up some workshops and and spare parts shops and asked if they could recommend any1... so far the cheapest quote i got was $135

now that thats sorted, were the hell do u get this wire strap that i keep hearing about?

it was Aussie wide Logistics that did mine

Easy guys to talk to and negociate with. Based in Melbourne, but specialise in interstate deliveries.

Otherwise you could try http://www.busfreight.com.au but I dunno if they do engines.

Transport Company I work for could possibly do it but that price of $135 sounds very good. They would also only transport it from Dandenong to Wetherill Park as they dont normally touch anything other than chilled goods.

R31Nismoid hahahahaha u dont no shit, brescisni didnt build PANNIC, AVO did.... wen Mille (the owner) sold his car he sold it to Danny Besciani they tunned it up slightly and claimed it as their own. then they built up PLATNM with almost the same mods. they learned a lot from PANNIC and apply those techniques and ideas from Terry Wilson (at, yep u guesseed it chump, AVO!!) on their customer cars.

... but then y do i feel that u wont absorb much of this??

and FUNKEYMONKEY busfrieght r good people they do all my small interstate frieghting, but they wont do an engine... the logistics company sounds good tho

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
