Hi,

I've got a R33 at the docks in Japan at the moment and it's about to be put on a RORO ferry in the next few days to Sydney.

I going to need help with custom clearing the car when it lands. Can you recommend a custom agent that has experience with clearing cars. How much do they usually charge to do all the paper works and attend quarantine inspections etc.

Thanks

Control Global Logistics in Botany. I used them a few years ago to import my R33. Not sure about costs costs as it was some time ago, but no hassles - I even managed to get the car through without requiring steam cleaning, which is somewhat of a rarity these days.

lol control global.. i used t work for them.. * kents made me scrub the ute tray *

well usually the clearance wll start from say 70.00 to 105.00 most i've heard

were able to do the clearance on the vehicle if you like for 95.00 aud ( i can look afta it personally ) or i know few other brokerages that can do it

for maybe 10 bucks or so cheaper?

up to u

how much is the charged freight so far btw on an r33?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
