hey how much does it cost to freight stuff over from japan by

- air

- sea

is there any guarantee that the stuff will get here if it is put onto a boat? i mean, our goods are not subject to rape and torture by wharfies (like our poor cars are on the docks when they first arrive) right?

My question is sorta OT, sorta not.

I'm planning on going over for a year, maybe 2 to work when I'm done with my English/Education degree. Girlfriend and I are planning on buying a car each. What I am wondering is, is it possible to fill your car up with bits and pieces? Like buy a R32 GT-R, and chuck a turbo kit, some seats, coilovers, spare rims, R34 six speed, R33 brembos, bits and pieces inside? All wrapped up to keep it nice and clean of course. Will you get taxed on all that stuff thats in the car? E.g if its for my own spare parts on my personal import car?

I wouldn't want to have it all stolen when I get back either. I'd like to buy something and bring it home to do the modding myself. Plan to get a R32 and a JZA80 supra.

cheers,

floody

floody,

I think if you check with Customs on this but I have done quite a few trips o/s and in all the info that I have read it states that if you are out of the country for longer than a certain period of time, (used to be twelve months) no duty was payable if you could prove ownership of the goods for that period. However as I said, check with Customs I'm sure that they will give you the correct information.

Cheers

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
