I have done a couple of quotes right from NSW to WA

TOLL Autotrans want 1190 but 14 days transport

TNT want 1260, they havnt told me how long tho

14 days to me sounds a bit much.. is this how long it takes from sydney?

there is an internet based one which is door to door.. they are 1300 but i duno, a freinds mustang came back witha big dent in it and they said it must of been there allready.

I had my car sent over by TNT AutoTrans, very good service. Mine too 12 days I think. But I imagine it could take less depending on when the next shipment is leaving. And the biggest reason it takes so long is because it goes Depot -> Truck -> Rail -> Depot -- I'm pretty sure.

My car is being brought over from NSW to WA at the moment. There was a derailment which is why they are saying 14 days as opposed to the usual 8.

Was in same position as you in terms of getting qoutes from TNT and Autotrans.

Autotrans: $1190 but they don't cover stone chips and it's not enclosed

Toll: $1222.99 with cover for stone chips and any damage and they send it enclosed on the rail.

However with the derailment, I have been told something different everytime from TNT in terms of times and also method of transport as they are saying it will be quicker for it to go to NSW depot> truck to Melb depot>Boat>WA depot rather than originally planned way of NSW depot> truck to Adelaide> Rail to WA depot.

I really don't know what's going on so will be on the phone tomorrow to see what's the go.

I had my car transported from NSW for about $1400 by Ceva Logistics...took about 2 weeks and had to go from NSW-->Sydney-->Melbourne-->Adelaide-->Perth Rail-->Perth Depot.....if you ask me, I'd rather pay abit more to have it come straight here as 2 weeks was too long!! I didn't know it'd take so long btw...

to have it sent priority they qouted me $2200....i was like mmm nah i'll pass. all the cars from NSW they said will go through same process and won't come straight here i don't think unless you pay the premium for priority service.

drive it!!! that's the only way. don't have much choice in terms of trusting them, they would only be driving it on and off tow trucks etc and with all of them and mine i got a sheet stating the k's on the car and any damage etc so will be thoroughly inspecting it when it arrives before accepting it.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
