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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
