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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
