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.

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
