very true.... my power fc should be all right then. thanx guys!!

btw, where can i get a custom broker?? are they listed somewhere?

When i brought my GRT into the country I used Mac Customs - 07 3868 1590. Fax 07 3268 2191. I never had a drama with them with my car. Try them and see if they will do smaller items.

I can clear it for you should you need help. I am a customs broker... pm me if you need some advice.

It should sail though customs as long as the free on board value is under $1000

Even if it was over $1000, an ECU is duty free anyway - you'll still be up for gst and associated entry charges though.

Cheers.

cheers mate, one more thing, what about exhaust dump pipes which was just under 1000 without delivery?? should they be tax free as well??

appreciate your help.

Dump pipes/exhaust systems are dutiable (10%)... Make sure you don't get confused between tax and duty though. Duty is a revenue and GST is... well... a tax.

GST is calculated on:

The value of the goods

+ the cost of overseas transport

+ the insurance (allow .25 % of the cost and freight usually)

+ duty applicable

Of course if the value is under $1000, then the above is irrelevant - always good to know though so you don't get any nasty suprises.

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
