Hey guys.

Im in the process of buying a full exhaust system from another forum member over east and im trying to suss out some freighting.

I checked the sticky in the forsale section and they say to go through AirRoad .

I did a quick price through their quote system, for 230x50x50 cm. and about 25kg weight, and im getting a rough quote of $212 ! , i think because of the shear size of the exhaust it gets consigned to the 144kg marked category.

But anyways, who of you chaps have shipped something similar / size / weight , how much did it cost you, and who did you go through?

Any comments/recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

TNT (www.tntlogistics.com.au) are good also

my bro is having his GTiR shipped from NSW at the moment with them...they have a good track and trace program

I think they would price the exhaust by length and not weight, becuase you could have say a computer 19"+ CRT monitor that weighs 25kg but obviously will take up less space

airroad have good prices and are quite pro, i had my utes hardcover deliverd for $130 (bargain!) and the online tracking is superb

If your not in a blazing rush busfreight are the cheapest i found, and also a very professional service, although it takes about 7 days for delivery.

ah yeah kool kool

im not that fussed as to when it gets here.

I think i'll go through airroad

managed to now just bubble wrap the exhaust, and create a dimension of about 230cmx30cmx30cm which makes it a bit cheaper now.

Thanks all for your suggestions.

      Interesting....can't say I've ever checked it, have always just changed it in the off season as practice

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
