Hey y'all,

I need some help with transport companies for getting my car from the workshop in Seven Hills (NSW) to Melbourne. Just wondering if anyone knows any good companies, and any details like transport time, insurance, and costs?

Can't drive it down on a UVP because i can't get it insured unless it's regoed - A friend had hooked up a trade plate for me (which includes insurance) but idea was shut down by parents :rofl: so yeah, looks like trucking for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

chinny

Hey Ash, I had to drive down with my mate because he works for the place that owns the trade plate. An employee has to be in the car, them the rules unfortunately.

Damn.... R34's rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First ever drive of any kind of Skyline!! Car is f*cking sensational!!! A lot of fun pulling over to the side of the Hume Hwy and legally booting it up to 110 :(

No front numbers plates aren't a bad thing either :)

Sup Nick!! Adz....

hahha, this car was bought June '04 ;) And it's still not rego'd!! No compliance plate yet... stil a few weeks off, but got some stuff to fix anyway, thanks to the fugly spoiler i just removed yesterday....

pics very soon... i really wish i documented the Syd -> Melb car trip on camera, but i forgot to bring it :(

thanks foznice. I hadn't even sat in a R34 before! eheheh, only skyline i had been in was Ni's 32. But yeah as alan said, it really is an experience to drive a powerful car for the first time. I never really gave her heaps... plus had 1 rim in the boot, 3 in the back seat and a mate in the passenger seat, but it's a slight jump from the pulsar, to say the least.

I've got the Xenon assembly still, but the low beams are now H1 ;) - Gonna buy BATMBL's Xenon kit, get those puppies back in where they belong.

2 Surprises. 1, i've got a turbo timer :(, and a 12 CD Stacker in the boot :D So that was nice. Advan AD07's still have lots of tread, and i'm actuallly like the AVS Model 5's now... will def put them on after the car is regoed. Also helps when the rears are 255's :D

Oh yeah, the traction control button works :D

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
