I've been looking at getting a Abflug bumper for my Stagea from Japan and getting it shipped over to Aus. I sent them an email asking if they would ship to Australia and they replyed stating they would but it would cost $800-$1000 as they the box is fairly big. I was pretty shocked as i have been looking at bumpers on Import Monster and by there shipping estimate to have a bumper bar sent from Japan to Australia by ship it would only cost $300.

Does this sound right? and would i be better of sourcing my own shipping from Japan to Australia?

Import monster would ship it in a container, not individually, hence the price, which sounds about right. You will be hard pressed getting it cheaper, since the size is the factor here, not weight. Possibly you could contact import monster or slidewize and see if they can ship it for you in their container for a price.

Yeah, already contacted them mate. They've told me they can also source parts from Japan not through the auctions and will happily put it into a container to ive provided them all the errelivant information now im just waiting for a reply.

Now just gotta keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully what was quoted at $1400-$1600 for a bumper with shipping will be under $1000!

I also would go with Importmonster, they have heaps of contacts apart from yahoo.jp, easy friendly people to deal with in my experience & I believe they are in the process of loading a container right now. Leastways thats what they told me a couple of days ago. They do markup 25% but the service is worth it imho.

Goodluck

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
