I've ordered a few things with Nengun on the 1st of this month order was confirmed on the 5th shipment is shown as the 13th now its 19th and status is at processing. Does this mean its delayed or is it sent? Does the status change when its sent? Not too worried at this stage, just a little confused.

Sorry to bring up an old on-going thread but i just noticed Nengun has put prices up on his website regardless of if you have registered or not. Some of the prices seem unbelievable. Blitz LM cooler kit for an S15 is $855. I know theres a chance that it will get pulled by customs but even with those charges it would still be cheap. What you guys reckon? How would i go about getting a quote on something that isn't listed on his website???

I ordered some parts from Nengun yesterday, paid via Direct Deposit - still says Awaiting Payment, but it was only yesterday. It says the Shipment date is the 16th, so hopefully it shouldn't take long. As far as I know, there are no extra costs for getting stuff imported from Japan - at least I hope not.

I got an ARC cooler kit for $905, Apexi AVCR for $562 plus $234 for shipping. All up, $1700, which isn't too bad for the parts I am getting. Hopefully they will turn up soon without any dramas.

$1700...you'll almost certainly be paying tax on the items when they arrive. $1000 is the limit for not paying any tax

I just gave Customs a call, they said car parts have an additional 10% tax plus GST, so it looks like I am up for about $300 extra. That sucks, stupid government. I suppose it is something to watch out for when buying though.

Yeah you should have asked Nengun to send your items in 2 parcels with seperate invoices both under $1000.00. It's much cheaper to pay 2x postage than the taxes involved otherwise. Live and learn hey..

As for Nengun tracking system, from experience it's never accurate... postage once it leaves nengun in Japan is only 3-4 days via air. The major delay i've found with these guys is their actuall despatch times. It can take up to 2 weeks for them to package and despatch your goods. I wouldn't bother contacting them re: lead times they seem to think 2-3 weeks from japan is a super fast happy service.

Yeah they're slow..but the prices are ok and the parts always arrive eventually.

yes the tax on $1700 will be $360. since the tax exempt threshold was raised up to $1000 they are now being sticter on things over $1000. before some things came through, some got taxed. now they are pretty hard on anything over $1000. you may still not be taxed though, just wait and see.

An extra $360 in taxes, that sucks big time. They should be able to tell you whether you will pay tax or not, considering they seem to be based in Australia.

Has anyone else ordered over $1000? Can you confirm whether or not you got charged taxes?

that is the reason it's cheap. you are evading australian taxes and duties by importing parts this way. it wont help you if people say that they were charged or not charged in the past. all that is relevant to you is your case, not someone elses. sometimes you are, sometimes you arent. but I can tell you that very recently the rules were changed which involved raising the trheshold to $1000, since that has happend they are now more thorough with levying tax on the parcels that are over $1000. you should have prepared for this. It's not nenguns fault. you are buying from them in japan, the onus is on you to abide by your countrys tax law. most likely you will be fine so I wouldnt worry about it until it happens.

I thought they were based in Australia, I suppose it makes sense that they are based in Japan.

I never said it was Nenguns fault, I have never gotten anything from overseas before and did not realise I would get charged an extra $360 in taxes. Had I known, I think I would have just bought the stuff from a local supplier.

well it's not a forgone conclusion just yet. best to just wait and see. that is why (well partly why) there is such a difference in price. businesses that import parts from japan HAVE to pay import duty (10%) and GST (a further 10% on cost + duty). So you can see the $1700 worth of parts you bought would cost a retailer $2057 and that is before you factor in rental of premesis, staff, etc etc etc.

individuals importing parts are not always subjected to paying duty and gst which is why it can be cheaper.

First of all, not to sound like too much of a stickler, but you should always be prepared to pay the taxes/duties on items. Its the law; custom evasion has extremely harsh penalties. Blah blah blah be a good person blah. :D

You'll also notice if you read the customs documentation closely that they reserve the right to combine the value of parcels delivered within a short time frame, I imagine specificallyto target this type of behaviour.

I also agree Beer Baron: don't bother with other peoples experiences. Whatever system customs uses (random chance? targetted taxing? who knows) means that there is very little correlation between individual experiences. In my case, for instance, every parcel I have ever received from overseas has been stopped for no reason I can ascertain.

For what its worth, I've spent an awful lot of time talking to the customs gateway facility (incidentally, I almost always get the same two people; small staff pool) in the past. Want to know how they check the value of an item? Google. No joke.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
