Four wheels with tyres on them.

Thanks

If you mean a car then Adtrans all the way.

If you mean rims only then they should be boxed. TNT express will do it at a fee.

Or local transport services are cheaper, again, what state are they going to?

Ive got names but need that info, as truckers keep to their own routes.......

OK, most courier services wont touch it if it aint boxed. They are liable for damage...

As far as transport goes, Adelaide to NSW, try Kevin at Apollo Removals, then try Bob Edgar Removals, hell go onto www.yellowpages.com.au for more details. Thats the go. :D

I used busfreight to get springs to me from QLD. They are good for heavier items, but each wheel would work out to about $30 I reckon, total $120. They go on weight of individual items, ie. each wheel.

Toll Ipec Road Express will do that, just make sure you protect the rims really really really well (maybe even stack them 2x2 on a skid/palette for extra security - but an additional cost).

I've delivered plenty of bare tyres in my time (and a set of 4 boxed rims today actually).

Can anyone recommend a Courier service here in Adelaide to Interstate

I just sold my front bar to Dineth. Organised through Air Road Direct, 1300 555 450. I just wrapped it up in bubble wrap and they picked it up this morning no worries. All paid for by Dineth in Melbourne.

Pack and send are sheit.

They charged me $20 for a crate to pack a diff in to send to Sydney. Then $110 for delivery.

They then had to pickup the changeover diff in the same box, and return it to Adelaide. Another $110

I got a call saying my package was here.

I go down there, and they have unpacked my stuff, and i have a diff sitting there, and no crate i payed $20 for anywhere in sight.

Last time i heard it was illegal to open other peoples mail.

that sounds like great value would be road freight so possible expect 2-3 days but @ least it will get there and safe did that include insurance on the rims

No Insurance being one off.

Should be OK. Hard to damage them as I have packed them + big item to loose.

You get tracking numbers to go with it.

Ive got a $95 quote via TNT Express to bring down 4 x 17's from NSW to Adelaide, I think it might go up $30 due to the weight (I said 12.5kg each rim/tyre). Getting it picked up next Tuesday............

:) yehah! 17's for my Stagea!

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
