I know frieght will be expensive, but will prob buy 2 - 4 engines, shipping should be tha same as I pay for a whole, dont know the word in english. Storage area, shipping wise. It wont be weight that has the final word on price. Arg. Bad explanation.

Im sorry, but want a used block as I want to build it myself. But thanks!

you get a whole shipping container? so you can put as much stuff in it as you want?

blocks like that are very easy to get over here, very cheap too, but will be hard to find someone who is willing to get it to the docks/onto the ship. because they are so cheap, its too much effort for something so worthless here

hello for shipping get a SLATTED wooden crate made to ISPM15 standard ( the standard for importing/ exporting wood so you do not get any problems with customs. or need fumigation to kill bugs.) get it made as small as possible to avoid shipping costs and also making it cheaper to buy the box. this way you can lock the motors into the crate. then any damage to the motors had to be there b4 it was packed. that way no 1 can blame the shipping company for rough handling or stolen parts. a pine sealed crate should cost you roughly $40 per square meter of box surface area. a slatted crate would be rougly $35.

to actualy ship the crate i would contact either ANTRAK logistics or ROHLIG both are massive multi-nationals i'd expect it to cost about 400 for a good export quality crate + roughly $1000+ for freight. and about 6-8 weeks waiting around.

regards

You mean FCL - Full Container Load

Thats not cheap.

An LCL - Less than Container Load shipment is what you want.

If you are going to be shipping less then say 10CBM then LCL is the way to go.

If you have MORE than 10CBM then an FCL would be the best bet(even if you only half fill it) because you will pay minimum charges on each CBM when shipping LCL but a set rate for FCL.

Basically to make it all simple:

1) Contact a freight forwarder and tell them what you want to do. (number of packages, weight, Cubic dimensions, load port+destination port)

2) Discuss with chosen freight forwarder what services they can offer you (door to door, door to port, CIF, DDU etc)

3) Contact an automotive wrecker in Australia and make sure they have "X" amount of RB30 engines for you to purchase.

4) Contact your freight forwarder and advise them of your purchase and either do an International funds transfer to pay the wrecker or sign a letter of authority for the freight forwarder to act on your behalf and pay/collect engines from the wrecker and transport to forwarders depot for export pack.

5) Freight forwarder will then arrange for overseas export. They will have an agent in your country that can arrange the delivery of the engines to your door.

It's not that hard.

Why bother with ISPM15 compliant packaging? There is nothing to comply to.

He's importing into denmark which has no natural boundries so QUARANTINE (not customs) risks are null and void

I posted one to canada, cost $650 AUD in shipping, including the plastic pallet. The charges were based on weight alone. I can organise some for you if you are interested

That would have been airfreight?

And it's not based on weight alone.

It's called CHARGEABLE WEIGHT, which is calculated with a formula. i.e. 100kg of feathers will have a greater chargable weight then 100kg of lead because the feathers take up more space in the aircraft so you have to pay more. (lame example I know, but thats how is works)

ah fair enough, im not to familiar with Customs over that way in the world. At work i deal with a company called "cratemaster" all boxs/crates and timber are to ISPM15 so i just get every thing to that standard then i can guarentee that im not gonna get any unexpected fee's or calls from customs. But saying that i'd imagion most freight packaging suppliers would be complient. but in reality it wouldn't matter as long as the wood is good clean stuff.

It was sea freight, took 5 weeks. It was based on weight alone, as the chargeable weight dimensions for 140kg was over 1 cubic meter, therefore the same motor weighing 50kg would have been heaps cheaper. Put it this way, if it had been a140kg block of steel, it would have cost the same

    • That M3 looks like it handles so well, initial slight understeer on turn in followed by oversteer which is cancelled out as steering returns to centre. Looks like such a fun car to drive. In comparison the Skyline and Sierra look like they understeer more and thus need more heavier steering inputs...? 
    • Gday   on the hunt for an rb25 gearbox and clutch to go into my R32 rb25/30 build happy to travel a bit or pay for freight for the right one From my limited research, think I need an rb25 driveshaft yoke to make it fit so I’m after one of those too located Bathurst
    • Common for single gauges to be swapped around. My 33 GTST when I bought it had a GTR tacho fitted, everything else was GTST gauges.
    • Google says for a 1998 Nissan Maxima to pull/pry, and the metal pin might even come out with it. I'd do a bit more googling, there was a few videos, find some where the shafts/needles appear most similar and compare the techniques.
    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ.
