I've seen specific instructions for transporting a GT350R, but I'm having a hard time tracking it down...Anyone have them handy?
Thanks,
Steve

The only directions I know of are to NOT back the car onto the transport if it is on the upper row, and if on a truck/flatbed use the winch to pull it up. This same warning is on most, if not all manual cars.Thanks, but I'm not having the car towed, I'm having it transported in an enclosed hauler. There are specific instructions on how to have it hauled that I've seen that are not in the supplement.
There is nothing special to have an R model transported on an enclosed car carrier subject to you using a reputable carrier.Thanks, but I'm not having the car towed, I'm having it transported in an enclosed hauler.

I have not used Passport but they have a very good reputation so you will be good to go.Passport Transport. I seem to recall it's not supposed to be backed into the trailer at all, and it should be bottom row only, but I was not 100% sure.
I'll soon be transporting my new R on a fairly long haul - two days / 1000+ miles - in an enclosed single car trailer. Given the tight confines of the trailer and the low stance of the car, I was planning on using some new "through-the-wheel" straps with sheepskin protector sleeves to tie it down.Most enclosed car carriers will use straps over the tires and not through the CF wheels but other than that nothing special to note.
I have used Passport and everything went very smooth - granted not an R but I had similar questions. I do not think you need to worry much in the end.Passport Transport.

Chris, on one occasion I transported my Track Pack car ~200 miles whereby I had no choice but to go through the wheels and it worked out well but have not done that with an R model with CF wheels.I'll soon be transporting my new R on a fairly long haul - two days / 1000+ miles - in an enclosed single car trailer.

I also have a set of the "mini-T" hooks that fit into the slots in the front subframe - the type that are used to connect straps to the towing point that the manual recommends when winching the car into a trailer or onto a flat bed. I could figure out a way to attach the tie downs to those and secure them so that I could drive the car into the trailer and then strap it down, but the through-the-wheel idea is certainly a safer bet from a loading perspective.
Thoughts on durability of the finish on the CF wheels and my plans?
