Regardless of whom you use, i'd highly suggest putting it on a pallet, wrap the engine in plastic so nothing comes off or touches it and if possible box it over with massive "fragile, do not stack" signs all over it.

Who did you go through floody, Also I need to get a crate or pallet or something for the engine, I heard that when Toll sent my mates RB30DET they charged like $100 to build a crate around it?

Also I don't have an ABN number so I can't get a Toll account otherwise I would go through them, so any suggestions were you dont need an account?

Highly doubt Toll would offer to build a crate, well unless ive been walking around the depot's with my eyes closed for the last 3.5yrs....

What would be ideal is 1 of our Toll Fashion metal pallet containers..... hrmm gives me ideas!

it might pay to check the price to melbourne... as it cost alot for freighting to tassie. even though its a short distance, you nearly pay more from melbourne than you pay for an engine (350ci) from the states via sea freight! it is insane

it should be cheap to melbourne, get a ute and go pick it up at the depot in melbourne only cost $60 each way for vehicle and a seat ticket for yourself about same. can be done on the weekend.

Pffft $180 delivered i wouldn't even think about dicking around with the boat, fuel and boat fee's would cost more than :glare:

$180 freight is pretty cheap, but is that with insurance? the price is pretty heffty for insurance via some freight companys.

couple of years back a guy from here bought his VT wagon back with big chrome wheels, but when it landed here and went to get it, it didnt have the chromies on it!, and the body was covered in gravel dust and scratches...

no insurance, nothing could be done...

another guy bought a small create with couple of parts for his torana and motor but when he opened it couple of genuine parts, carbs, and i think tunnel ram were gone...

no insurance, ouch!

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
