Hey everyone,

I've just agreed to buy some rims off someone in Queensland and was wondering if anyone has ever had rims sent over to Melbourne from Queensland, cash on delivery before?

Any info regarding cost, time, companies etc would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Ali.

Hey there.

Unsure if U have organised anything as of yet but I work for a transport company that will be able to provide transport from QLD to Melbourne but we dont do COD. Not sure if any company's actually does this at all.

If you would like me to do you a quote, please send me a PM with the details of the shipment including your contact details.

Well thats an average price from australian air express who don't offer cod (we move alot of wheels around and they charge us about $30 for every 10 kilo'ish box).. I guess AAE is more corporate and would probably have better rates. Also guessing cod will cost extra so my quote is probably a bit off :(

I can recommend bus freight (www.busfreight.com.au) for large or heavy items. We also have our own courier (Allied Express) and get very good rates for large boxes, if you give me dimensions, postcodes and weight I could get a quote for you.

Are you shipping the wheels with tires?

Australia post to my knowledge is the only company which will do COD.

But you can forget australia post. As a in a box wheel will cube out too much.

I onced used couriers please to do COD, but you can forget that aswell since your sending to QLD.

so your sh!t out of luck with COD.

If you want to just freight up. Try:

TNT, IPEC, AAE, fastway (don't know if they deliver to QLD, maybe only NSW), NQX, etc.

Aviod DHL since its only national and they will charge way too much.

I used STAR TRUCK,

Onced i had 8 rims+tyres transport down from NSW though i don't know how much it costed as i did it through my company :thumbsup:. All you need to do is box them up, STAR TRUCK truck will come around and pick them up.

Do you mean Star Track? If so, they are good and deliver the goods. They have a very good business model and customer service is excellent. :)

      The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 🤣

      That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.

      Probably the cam.

      The GTR strut brace clears the new manifold.. by about 0.5mm. So this means I need to buy an OEM GTT Strut brace (again), which will clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. I guess I can sell the GTR Strut brace with the bonnet with the vents as a package deal as someone will need this one day. So my choices are vented bonnet but no strut brace, or GTR Bonnet with OEM brace (which I have to buy) but is bright red instead of the same colour as the rest of the car, which means the entire front end of the car will just be red until it goes back to paint jail. In other news the engine starts and doesn't leak. Why both O2 narrowband sensors think the tune is rich AF I do not know. The idle is also pretty shitty and my expensive IAT sensor from the USA is dead. The car sounds awful. But I assume or at least hope this is due to the many exhaust leaks, and the concrete garage it is in, sitting there with 0 intake bolted to it, and no bonnet or panels or anything to stop the induction/intake sound which is about 200db.
