Getting my lowered s13 on a carrier. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Cool,

any help.

thanks.

Is this one of the multi-car carriers or a single car carrier, like a flatbed? If it's like a flatbed, 2x4's should do the trick...

Why not just raise it? if you have coilovers it should take less than an hour...

240sxDriftChick · 04-15-2015, 05:21 PM

i am not with the car.
i am in arizona right now and the transport carrier will be picking it up in colorado, i would raise it if i was there but i'm kind of shit out of luck.

have you tried giving me your cell # so i can tell you how?

nahh im kidding.. raise that shit up !

^^^And the leghumping begins. Most of those drivers are professionals and should know how to handle low cars. I doubt it will be a big problem for them to get it on the rig. They'll probably use 2x4's to get it up the ramps and leave it on the lower level.

240sxDriftChick · 04-15-2015, 05:25 PM

honestly,
im not trying to raise it.
it's taken me a good while to perfect how low it is without breaking anything too bad and still being functional with all the camber.

I was just being stupid. No leg humping here
But I agree with simmode. They'll be able to handle your whip .!'

240sxDriftChick · 04-15-2015, 05:30 PM

leg humping xD
you guysssssssssssssssssss.
on a serious note, are we thinking it's going to work?
i've been without my darling for 2 months now and i'm wrecked. so if it cant make it out here i'm kinda fucked. ya feels? 2x4's better work.

Only suggestion I can make is call ahead and ask the carrier company if they have experience and know how to handle a car with low ground clearance .

If they don't. Fiind a different one

Do this!

Hopefully you get a decent driver. Good luck.

i sold a truck to a guy that had it shipped to him, not sure what shipping company he used but the driver who showed up couldnt have been much worse. Almost ran it into the supports on the trailer and it fell off the ramps while he was backing down to try again, i ended up driving it on for him. Call and make sure they have a competent driver or see if you can have somebody there when they pick it up to watch over them/drive it on.

i plan on shipping my car back home within the next few months and will probably just rise it before they get here
