I'm trying to get a transaxle from USA to Brisvegas. It will be packed properly and everything - just need a freight forwarder who can even be bothered quoting...
Any suggestions?
Ed Hellsten (WA and Vic club member) should be able to help you, he works in the area.
Darryl,
I used to work in the IT dept of a global forwarder. I have asked a couple of old colleges if I can pass on their details. Will get back to you tomorrow.
Regards,
Bret
Daryl,
Adam Kemp at Sunstate Customs and Cargo in Brisbane is a longtime mate of mine. I've also used his company for a few imports and never had a hitch.
Adam's mobile number is 0413 731 241 and his company is based at Eagle Farm.
Cheers,
Brent
Hey Darryl, why from the USA? I would have thought there would be a few around locally? Is it special? There is a new ad on Gumtree of a guy in Bardon selling Alfetta bits including the transaxle.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Will follow up. Car needs an LSD. Given the costs of getting a decent LSD box to start with then doing a rebuild on it, there is a good chance importing a freshly built one adds up (subject to freight cost).

you could easily spend $2000 - $3000 on a proper rebuild of the transaxle
And I haven't been inundated with replies here

I'm after a 75 twinspark transaxle - any rebuildable condition will do, but will pay according to condition.
I'd also consider a 3L transaxle and tailshaft but that is going to take some creativity at the other end...
There was a good one going - but I didn't want the rest of a slightly bent GTV6 race car with it...
