    Also referred to, in engineering speak, as "VFT"

    Found SMB: Sydney Melbourne Brisbane Car Express is a Car Transporter located in Williamstown VIC Australia Where is it? 11 Fink Street Williamstown VIC 3016 How to contact them? (1800) 262085 Or it might be: Unit D, 55 Cherry Lane, Laverton N Ph 1300 362 085 Email:[email protected] Anyway, I've sent them an email enquiry - see what happens.

    If you aren't bringing the gearbox with the engine, then you have to disconnect / remove the driveshaft between the transfer case and front diff.

    What's wrong with public transport? (what's right with it? )

    I've always found the filler plug around 50mm above the drain plug. Look harder.

    Just asked TNT who pointed me to CEVA Logistics (1300 655 594). They quoted $470 to bring car from Bris -> Mel. (Mel -> Bris around $800) Toll Logistics quoting $427 Bris -> Mel

    Not listed under "SMB". Closest is SMB Fleet Management (Novation Leasing)

    It's been covered dozens of times - SEARCH

    Or you could drive my new 180B SSS back!But I think I'd like to truck it - it's a 1-owner 1973 model, with only 22,300 MILES on the clock. Driving it back would nearly double the odometer LOL

    Manual. And if I HAVE TO drive an auto, it gets driven like a manual ie change down a gear before corners.

    Talk to Daniel at DJM Automotive in Burwood - 98082590 - tell him Greg sent you.

    I would expect any of the transporters would give you a good rate back from Brisbane. The majority of trucks must come back empty, so any $ is a bonus for them. EDIR: Sorry - you're going TO Brisbane (my bad reading).

    A GTS-4 has AWD, just like a GT-R. There should be drive shafts to the front wheels. Otherwise, you simply have a 4-door. And of course you will light up the arse end if you don't have the AWD system.
  14. blind_elk
    It's not a GTS 4-door is it? You don't need to jack the car. You should be able to see a drive shaft and the front diff housing (under the starter motor) by peering in the engine bay.

    I have a set of 17x7.5, with B/S Potenza GIIIs (about 50%) you can borrow. You will need Allen key style nuts for them.
  16. blind_elk
    Factory recommendation is a 7.5W-30. You want an oil that is a 30 at operating temp. The 7.5 is only relevant to how quickly the oil will circulate at cold startup. In winter, maybe a 5W over a 10W, but really doesn't matter all that much.

    You realise your car is now unroadworthy? Both tyres on the same axle must be identical - same brand, same width, same diameter, same tread pattern (except for when using the spare). And which idiot installed an odd tyre in the first place? Was it new? Or used?
  18. blind_elk
    Welcome aboard. www.whiteline.com.au has most suspension parts you are likely to need.
  19. blind_elk
    I don't think 32 GTS-ts have a boost solenoid (GT-Rs do, but GTS4 definitely doesn't).
  20. blind_elk
    No, just top it up.
  21. blind_elk
    Pretty certain all the GT-Rs came with ABS standard. So you probably just need the bits for the non-ABS GTSt.
  22. blind_elk
    If it's anything like the old L-series stuff, as long as the engine and gearbox are from the same family, they will bolt up to each other. So any RB-series gearbox will bolt up to any RB-series engine.

    "Are Bilsteins any good"? Is the pope a Catholic?
  24. blind_elk
    For appearances sake, leave the AFM in place. It will look like the car is using "factory" components.
  25. blind_elk
    Yep. Swap for the window stuff?
