Does anybody know any good companies that can do engine transport from NSW to Brisbane? I need an engine picked up from Taree, but don't know if it's best to use an every day courier, or if there is someone better. Anyone with any experience in this that can help me out?

Thanks

It would need to have all the fluids drained and the ports etc sealed up as they do not want anything leaked onto the truck.... If you can get it strapped to a pallet etc you will have a better chance with most transport companies....

I dont know of any off the top of my head, but thought id mention about the oil etc.....

I used http://www.e-go.com.au/ to get my alfa motor from melbourne.

Did depot-to-depot, so old mate loaded it onto a pallet for me with all the fluids drained etc and took it to the depot, and then i picked it up from the brisbane depot.

I think they also do door-to-door, but you need to have a facility for loading/unloading the pallet (e.g. forklift)

Tracking left a lot to be desired but other than that good value and it didn't go missing.

Cheers guys. It's from a workshop so I'm sure the bloke will know to drain it. Smits I'll give those boys a call. It's being delivered to a workshop too, so unloading won't be a drama :)

Workshops wont generally have a forklift or anything unless its a wrecker or similar BUT they should have some muscle to unload it..... Check at both ends before you try send it ;)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
