Just got word my RB24 powered ceffy will be on voyage 16s from Osaka to Brisbane. The boat is the MOL Triumph. Should be arriving on the 19th of June.

If there is anyone else with a car on this ship please let me know and we can team drift out of the docks!

Yeah... my car is going on this boat too. Yours is in a container aswell is it?

Mine won't be drifting anywhere though :( Is a GTR setup for trackwork.

Yeah it is in a container. I want to make sure all my extra goodies make it with the car!

It's so worth the extra money.

I think the boat is going to Melbourne and Sydney as well.

reckon. are you going to request to be there when they open the container?

the ship goes to melbourne first then sydney then brisbane.

I am also worried about the car being driven around the docks cold and revved before oil pressure is up etc...

I will certainly be requesting to be there when the container is opened. I will then take heaps of photos of everything so I will know if anything goes missing in customs.

I think you just let the customs agent know that you want to be there?

What are you going to do being from Noosa?

My VIP Cima was on the MOL Triumph 15s - arrived on the 13th; Unfortunately in Sydney you cant be there to watch them opening it, so i only got there yesterday to pick it up. Be careful though, i arrived early to find that AQIS were steam cleaning my car - using a FORKLIFT to lift it! I was fuming, but they said they dont do it if it will cause damage, and my bodykit seemed to be fine...

Apparently container shipped cars dont suffer the same fate as RORO cars with regards to wharfies drifting them etc. I thought it was a bargain; only $500-600 more than RORO, and i was guaranteed my kit would survive the journey!

yeah. i will want to be there when they open the container... will make the drive down to ensure everything is intact and as you are doing.... taking lots of photos.

Hopefully they'll be able to give me a date to come down and open it.

Might be able to meet up with you down there when it arrives, wouldn't mind getting a look at the cefiro.

I wouldn't mind giving you a bit of a race either!

I think the piece of mind is definitely worth the extra money for the shipping container. I wasn't promised anything about my bodykit but I am sure hoping it makes it here in 1 piece. There is no one around here with that kit that could do me any replacements.

If my car went anywhere near a forklift the kit would be destroyed! Hopefully it doesn't require steam cleaning. It looks ok in the photos. Very clean.

I would be happy to meet up when the the ship arrives. I'll PM my number to all who have a car on this ship in Brisbane closer to the time it arrives. I'm sure there will be more people finding out their car is on the ship closer to the arrival date.

Getting close :jump:

dsteffe have you spoken to your customs broker/agent yet about being present when your container seal is cracked?

I was thinking about giving them a call soonish about mine and making sure that they will request it to not be opened till me an my camera are there :):uh-huh:

No I havn't yet. I havn't recieved any info in the mail yet. Just waiting.

Do you know who your customs agent is? If so, how did you find out?

There must be some other people on here with cars on this ship. It will be arriving in Melbourne on the 14th of June, then Sydney on the 17th of June then Brisbane on the 19th.

Bring on the Dori Dori!

Boat has landed in Brisbane.

My container has been randomly selected for X-Ray scans and paperwork checks!

Damn it. This could take up to 4 days. And my shipping only covers me for 3 Days storage.

So, if the GOVERNMENT takes to long I have to pay EXTRA storage costs.

This is in addition to the $2500 the GOVERNMENT has already charged me in TAX on the car!

Bastards.

All worked out ok.

The customs people have cleared the car (only took one extra day). No Shapel Coryby incidents either which is good.

I should get it within the next couple of days. I am also allowed to be present at the 'unpacking' of the container. If it doesn't need steem cleaning I will be able to take the car straight away.

I'm so excited that I just can't hide it!

Jamie you must be stoked as well!

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
