Assuming that the FOB price is 2,000,000 Yen ($24,000AUD), then the GST would be: $2,400AUD; and the stamp duty would be: $2,746AUD.

Then you have customs and clearance fees wich will be approx: $6-700AUD

Shipping costs are usually $1,000-1300AUD (for roll-on, roll-off) depending upon who you go through. If you decide to use a container then the price is doubled.

Add to that steam cleaning which can be anywhere from $60-$242AUD depending on which port the car is delivered at.

Then you might have to include twoing fees, and depending upon what car it is, compliance costs range from $3-6K.

let me get this straight, complicance equals to ( GST + Stamp duty + clearance fee + steam cleaning ) right?

so that sums up to a total of A$5846? 'sighs' if they could have simplified the procedure a little.. do we pay at different locations for gst, stamp duty etc or can we pay at once on one register?

Nope. Compliance is a totally separate component.

You pay GST and Stamp Duty to Customs.

AQIS receives fees for quarantine inspections.

In Sydney you pay the customs / quarantine fees at the same point.

If you need steam cleaning fees go to the cleaners.

Although if you use a customs agent they consolidate all the fees for you and you just pay them the single amount (excluding compliance).

Then you pay compliance to your RAWS workshop (some require a deposit prior to import approval application being made)

This is how it works : Cost of car in Japan including any transport de-rego costs in japanese yen . When the car comes here you will pay 10% import duty on the converted AUD cost, they take the exchange rate the day it leaves port in Japan. On top of that you pay freight customs, q/t steam cleaning towing to the compliance shop and your customs broker (if you have one) . All that should be about $2000 you add that to the car cost and import duty, then you 10% gst on the total and thats the final landed cost .

Then comes compliancing costs , that will depend on the car you import and the work needed, you have to arrange that with your RAW before you import it. The RAW will get the import approval and pay the goverment the $160 fee .

When you get the compliance plate on the car your RAW should supply you with a blue slip( in NSW) you buy a green slip ( NSW) and take all the paper work to the RTA. You will pay for the rego ( depending on the weight of the car $240-340 ) + stamp duty 3% of the market value of the car, up to $46k and anything over that its 5%.

Sorry dude but i thought someone in the later primary school years would be able to calculate that.

If you are still in primary school you have a few years before you can drive a car so you don't need to worry about a car for a while .

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
