I had my pride and joy transported btw syd and melb and then melb to perth. I was recommended to go thru TNT via an enclosed (covered) service and the car was very well looked after. I don't have the paperwork here but I think it was around the 600 mark.

Whoever you use make sure to take lots of pics before its loaaded on the truck that way you have proof should damage appear after transport.

Let me know if you are interested and I can give you contact details of someone who looked after me at TNT.

We use CEVA / TNT for door-to-door delivery at about $850 a pop... but be mindful this is including insurance for cars vauled at over $250k.

These are covered race-transporters.

We had one issue with an unload, but their insurance was quick to act and get things sorted out.

Every other transport has been fine - and we've moved upwards of 50 cars.

I've used toll for bringing a car down from regional QLD and another from Sydney, on both occasions to melbourne. I do depot to depot as we have a trade plate that we can put on the car and bring back to the workshop etc. Brissy depot to melb depot (laverton) is about $350. Sydney depot (Greenvale) to melbourne is around $280.

Trips TO melbourne are in general cheaper, as they're return trips for trucks that take cars to Sydney/Brisbane. If the car is a non runner its a lot more expensive, and if you need door to door, add $100 to each end for towing by Toll.

Call autotrans (their private booking agent) on 1300 660 616. Cars are fully insured... however no unsecured contents allowed inside the vehicles. Quite easy and nice to deal with, and the girls at the laverton depot are the biggest flirts ever. Good lookin too.

That said, each time I've needed to take an unregistered car that's reliable to drive to syd, I've just whacked a trade plate on it and driven it... for some reason none of the cars I bring to melbourne are reliable enough to drive over 800km.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
