Mitch - you car hire a car trailer for about $70 per day + $20 deposit. If you have a decent car to tow the trailer and able to drive over, spend the night and then drive back you could get your Skyline here for $140 plus fuel. $70 if you were really keen to drive over and back within 24 hours (although I wouldn't recommend this if you don't have someone to take turns at driving).

Just a suggestion.

how much do professional car carriers charge?

Being melb, it could be cheaper for you to put it on the back of the train

its not drivable so hardly any of em want to touch it

and the ones that do will take close to a month as its not priority :)

cheapest i found was $278 but that has to be dropped at the depo and picked up from the depo

are you an RAA member?

they do free towing to a certain point :D If not, sign up tomorrow, will cost u $115 for RAA plus, and then head over to melb and call them, make em tow it to the depot, and do the same when it arrives in adelaide

Problem solvered

-D

EDIT - They tow up to 20km in the city and up to 100km in rural areas for RAA Plus. RAA premium gives you 50km in the city, 200km in the boonies

nah im not

When you join on the spot you only get standard benefits for the first call out.

joining up wouldnt benefit me much , already been through this with a mate who works at RAA

nah thats when you call them out without being a member and then you pay the dude on the spot for membership

if you call them up on the phone, aka tomorrow, and apply for FULL raa plus/premium membership, you'll get full benefits the first time you call them - which is whenever you can get to melbourne to be honest

get a tow for the car to the depot, and then get the free taxi to the airport/train station, then the next day call RAA again and get another tow - standard benefits are few, but the plus at least gives you unlimited call outs and the towing..

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
