I got my CA18DET and gearbox delivered from Sydney to Melbourne. As long as the engine is loaded onto a pellet the company I used charged $120 to pick up and deliver to my workshop in melb.

Always use private couriers, they're so much cheaper and will bend over backwards for your business (like organising a truck with a crane to pick up pellet if there's no loading facilities etc).

You might want to try putting it on a pallet instead... I wouldn't trust a pellet to support the weight of a motor. :)

(before i get flamed for my pedantics, funky started it!)

thanx peoplz lucky for me i got two jobs and one of em has forklift access... and yes private couriers are the way to go.

i also rang up some workshops and and spare parts shops and asked if they could recommend any1... so far the cheapest quote i got was $135

now that thats sorted, were the hell do u get this wire strap that i keep hearing about?

it was Aussie wide Logistics that did mine

Easy guys to talk to and negociate with. Based in Melbourne, but specialise in interstate deliveries.

Otherwise you could try http://www.busfreight.com.au but I dunno if they do engines.

Transport Company I work for could possibly do it but that price of $135 sounds very good. They would also only transport it from Dandenong to Wetherill Park as they dont normally touch anything other than chilled goods.

R31Nismoid hahahahaha u dont no shit, brescisni didnt build PANNIC, AVO did.... wen Mille (the owner) sold his car he sold it to Danny Besciani they tunned it up slightly and claimed it as their own. then they built up PLATNM with almost the same mods. they learned a lot from PANNIC and apply those techniques and ideas from Terry Wilson (at, yep u guesseed it chump, AVO!!) on their customer cars.

... but then y do i feel that u wont absorb much of this??

and FUNKEYMONKEY busfrieght r good people they do all my small interstate frieghting, but they wont do an engine... the logistics company sounds good tho

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
