Willdat? Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Car being shipped up from Invercargill, being dropped off in Bleheim on train, only bugger is that I can't get over there until the weekend. Do they store vehicles somewhere secure? I can't visualise any storage there at all so I'm just a wee bit worried it may end out dumped on the side of the road...

Willdat? Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 $380 from Invercargill to Blenheim, only way to get cars lower than 150 mm clearance up apparently... Cheers EvoBilly, will be in touch quite probably, insurance are pretty keen on it being garaged at all times so I might just have to mission over on the day it comes in (on that note does anyone know a clever way to get from Nelson to Blenheim after work? Bus is only 8:30 am in the morning...) New car for my little bro who is in London, he wouldn't be too happy about #*^& going missing...

EvoBilly Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 nothing would go missing from mine the miss is home most of the time with my 9 month old son and as i said ive got 15 cars so i can pull a few out and park it up the back so the only way to get it out would be to move 5 cars min lol im sure there is alot of bits that they could take with far less effot and im off the main streets so dont have alot of traffic going by the offers there just let me know another option is i work for a coldstore have a big warehouse thats locked and alarmed could talk to the boss and if its only couple days could park it there if the boss is nice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 $380 from Invercargill to Blenheim, only way to get cars lower than 150 mm clearance up apparently... Shit that is cheap - I doubt I could get a flight one way for much less than that - would also be more than that in gas to drive down with 1 car and back up with 2 cars or car plus car on a trailer. I definitely know how I'm doing it if the occasion arises.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 that is a good price... anyone know if its much cheaper into chch from invers?? i take it thats through toll?? might give them a buzz. cos its the same driving time to bleheim as it is to chch for me...

I'm sure it wouldn't be too unpleasant driving a S15 with RB26DETT home...as soon as I know anything concrete I'll give you a call...

Willdat?

shizzl Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 s15 and rb26dett, ill offer to pick it up and deliver it myself free of charge...hahahahaha... pics are a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 sweet you got my number if you need help with it in blenheim Well as it turned out the car never even stopped in Blenheim...was delivered to Picton Anyway - for another $187 it was delivered to Nelson, have it at home now. Not very exciting to look at (think S15 Spec S with gold wheels and adjusties on their highest setting, plus a towbar! ) but very good fun to drive. On the hunt for R33 GTR wheels...

Ranter Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Prefer R34 GTR alloys, Out of interest does it have purple rocker covers? Built one with a mate a number of years back, was sold randomly on TM. Was spec s aeros, 34 wheels etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 And yes that is with the adjusties wound right up! R34 wheels would probably look pretty sweet, I haven't seen them on an S15 before. No purple here, red and obviously not an Aero...and it does tow damn well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzsubbie Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 sweet you got my number if you need help with it in blenheim Well as it turned out the car never even stopped in Blenheim...was delivered to Picton Anyway - for another $187 it was delivered to Nelson, have it at home now. When I got quote for car transport the railway was the cheapest option. I did get told it had to be delivered to nearest yard. They would had stopped there if blenheim still had a rail yard. Only one line thru there now. They only deliver to main railway yards. Truck it the rest of the way. I dont even know if Kiakoura still has a yard? If thats the case they would pick up/ unload in Picton, Christchurch, Dunners etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoBilly Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 theres a rail yard in springcreek 10mins out of blenheim i work next to it but then its only 20 mins till picton anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
