Because they are a registered business, with workshop, employees, insurances, along with super and workers comp etc etc means they have overheads. They would most likely have to pay tax on the kit as well. So its hardly surprising they are more expensive. On top og that, they are allowed to make a living doing what they do so add to all that a bit of profit.

Not to mention that if there is a problem with the sale they are actually around the corner, not OS. If they buy off the Australian HKS agent the thing may even come with after sales support.

So to buy off them would be a better option?

Not when you can buy 2 from nengun for the same price.

Buying from os means you are running the gauntlet of duty and tax. If it slips in under and the turbo is in good working condition you have a bargain. If you get stung and find out that the turbo has been damaged in transit or is faulty in any way then not so good.

Worthless comment right there

Is it, maybe the one from just jap is a complete kit. and the one from nengun is for just the turbo? I got my 2835pro s in aus (Unique Autosports), cost me 4grand delivered for a completer kit.

The other thing to bare in mind is prices are always changing, if it were me, and I was genuinly wanting to buy the kit from a dealer here, I would ring them to discuss their price and negotiate from there

Just remember that bussinesses need to make money so it will cost your more.

I got a gtrs turbo kit from nengun and it cost me just under 2700 bucks but if the customs found it then it may have cost me a good bit more.

Best bet is to do the sums and order from nengun expecting to get slugged with all the taxes and if it slips through then you extra cash aside for tunnning or extra mods etc.

So if customs find it what are thay likely to charge you for it, Also nengun mention nothing about customs charging you any sort of fee.

you are liable for import duty (10%) and GST (10%) on top of the purchase price and postage for anything worth more than $900.

so on a turbo costing $2500 with $120 postage = $2620 X 1.1 = $2882 X 1.1 = $31702.

That is the law. if you avoid it somehow good for you. I dont want to hear about it. I don't need anyone posting: "I bought a turbo that cost $3K and I didn't pay any tax".

hhmm ? Whats this? Are you a customs agent? lol

Its not up to the customer to track & wave down customs saying "I need to declare this and pay you $600 for the pleasure of doing so"..... AFAIK it is up to Customs to approach you with proof that you have bought something that requires a tax / duty payment.

Been though it many times myself, sometimes they will pick it up and contact you about payment, othertimes you simply receive the goods. BTW - never once have I asked the sender to falsify the value amount........ doesnt mean it doesnt happen tho

[Beer Baron]

I never said it was up to the customer to chase customs?!? I just said that by law that amount is payable. If they choose not to enforce the law that is their problem. so please dont twist around what I said. Even still you are wrong with this idea: "it is up to Customs to approach you with proof that you have bought something that requires a tax / duty payment." they aren't obliged to proove anything. anything over $900 must be declared. Generally your agent overseas has the responsibility to correctly complete the declaration on the package. If you are bringing something in by yourself when you reach customs you are required to declare anything over $900.

And I can give you a promise that if you send a package from overseas to aus, with a declared value of over $900 AUD 9 out of 10 times you will be contacted by Aus customs to pay any applicable tax + duty.

oh, and I should add, what I said still stands. I dont want to hear about it. If someone evades tax, then good for you. if you cheat on your income tax hooray. but there is no place for posting up details of your crime here. If your supplier marks down parcels sent to you without your requesting it then great. If you do request it, you are breaking the law. and despite the comon belief not everyone that works in aus customs has a father married to his sister. many of them will open suspect packages and google the contents to get a realistic idea of value. and then you are in trouble...

because nengun $2500 isn't the kit, it is just the TURBO

The HKS KIT is like $3000 BRAND NEW, then ADD TAXS, Shipping Fee plus Just-jap profit and you see why its selling for that price.

nengun isnt a shop, its some person who setup a website, does not hold any stock therefore you can understand why the price is alot cheaper than buying local (a shop front has an outlay they need stock)

ALSO just because some people dont pay TAX doesnt mean you wont get done ALSO as beer baron said if you put down a value of 4000yen and they stop you and YOU CAN NOT PROVE YOU ONLY PAY 4000YEN you are in DEEP SHIT!

also if you dont like just-jap prices then dont buy it. im sick of people saying i can get it cheaper from here. no one wants to know, just buy it and be happy!

Cheers Michael

ps its a great turbo

Slightly off topic, but interesting none the less.

Unfortunately I have lost the relevant codes, but when I imported my turbos I submitted a claim that I was importing two "air compressor" units. These are import tax exempt items.

Whilst the "spirit" of this tax exemption is for refridgeration gas compressors (i.e. encouraged the use or conversion to "green" refridgerants), the wording was such that it could not be disputed that automotive turbine compressors fell into this catagory.

I was still liable for the 10% GST, however.

A turbocharger is made up of a compressor and turbine linked by a shaft. I'd be careful here as someone who has half a technical clue could bust you on it - compressors for refrigeration don't use turbines to power them.
