Do ceva have a height limit on how low a car can be? Looking at shipping a car from perth to melb and all the companies I've found so far all say the cars have to be above 140mm.

Nope, i remember seeing an SLS AMG that got sent through them and they are effing low, they just add ramps, and make sure you get heaps of pics before they load the car up so you know if(unlikely) any damage is made

there are different options.

if you go for standered transport then the requirement is for the cars lowest point to be 140mm.

if you go for the race and prestige option then no height requirement cause as juliette mentioned they use hydrolyic lifts etc but you do pay through the arse for that.

well if your determined to get a tow truck

most of the members here use:

Jack from Citywide towing.. 0419 877 437

He has been a long term member owning a bunch of imports and knows how to look after them.

that said don't get a shock when he quotes.

this will be thousands, remember it's at least 2 days prob 3 days of just driving, fuel, food and the rest.

remember he looks after us so you best be nice as well. (plus he big and scary..just kidding jack)

actually I could be wrong, if you found one that had a one way trip the other direction then that would be very fair.

else

melb - syd 10-12 hours driving.

add in 1-2 hours on each end for load/unload.

looking 22-30 hours non stop

800$ = noway I would do that.

    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
    • Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)
    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
