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 .

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
