Hi guys

Getting prices from Nengun show that they are considerably cheaper than most of the other quotes ive gotten - under 3k for a set of 18x9.5 TE37s.

Should I not be so tempted by this and realize that I will be bitten by customs tax? Ive heard several people say that you may slip under the radar, but for some reason im doubting that a set of wheels will be able to... and even if they dont, Im wondering if the total cost will STILL be equal to or less than some of the other prices I have... Can anyone whos in the know, or has bought wheels from Nengun before, shed some light?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks heaps,

Andrew

I have bought plenty of wheels....and one thing I won't buy from nengun is wheels. Go thru some of the traders on here or ns.com. Their prices factor in all duties, tax and freight so at the end of the day you're not gonna be hit with unexpected costs.

Yeah figured as much. No big deal, thanks mate.

They quote you a delivered price and i have bought things from them worth more than 1k and it has never been more than they quoted me . Aaron.

Get the 4 rims sent to 4 different addresses, that they will all be under $1000 each and avoid any taxes and it wouild not be illegal to do

Never thought about that. I've only thought about getting the wheels sent one at a time to avoid taxes.

Its actually illegal if you paid for them at once i think you'll find.

Were you one of the kids that sat up the front of the class at school?

Buy them in 4 different names, mum dad sister brother etc. It is not that hard to work out

He's one of the people smart enough not to condone illegal activities on a public internet forum...

Keep in mind that customs will ask you to supply an invoice (via your customs broker) to prove the price of the items if they pull you up. If you only have one invoice saying $3000 then this wont work.

What does seating position in school classroom have to do with unlawful tax evasion?

If it does have something, maybe you were behind the portable on the weed and enjoying "high" time a bit too much.

Tax evasion is just that, and its illegal.

If you wanna talk illegal activites, i'll gladly send you on a holiday from the forum.

Packed nicely into a nutshell there :)

I agree, tax evasion is illegal, not disputing that.

But, wheels are sold price per wheel and are listed that way. So if you buy them one at a time and send them, you can not be breaking the law. That was my point.

If you buy a twin turbo "kit" for a GTR and split the turbos and send seperatly, yes then you are breaking the law.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
