HI Guys sorry but i couldnt find any info through the search function regarding this topic.

But i will be getting my 03 V35 within the next 2 weeks or so, it is arriving from Brissy. Now i have to take the car over the pits to get it on the road.

I just want to know what sort of costs are going to be involved. Sorry guys but i have not imported a vehicle before.

I know that normal we have a vehicle transfer form and we pay stap duty on the purchase price of the car. However how do i go about showing them the cost of my car in order to get the price of the stamp duty.

Thanks in advance guys.

:-)

If the car has Australian compliance you are not importing it. Is it currently registered in Qld?

If so you are just doing a transfer. The transfer papers ask for what you paid AND what the market value of the vehicle is.

For Market Value put down what you paid for it unless you got it at a rediculously unbelievable price.

In which case go here: http://www.redbook.com.au/

Hey sorry a bit of confusion. yeah the car was a import and because of some shipping issues the car had to go to Brissy for compliance. and then it is now being shipped to Perth. Now i want to know how they calculate the stamp duty amount. Is it on the FOB price or on the total cost which includes shipping and compliance as well?

And thanks for your help so far

Cool no probs. It doesn't matter what you paid for it, + shipping and compliance. On the transfer papers there is a box for what you paid and one for market value. You pay stamp duty on the market value. That can be obtained from Redbook or a signed individual appraisal from a valuer.

This will help you calc duty to be paid: http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/licensing/yourvehicle/1382.asp

A mate and I imported V35s at the same time. When he got his licensed the dpi person said to just add up FOB price + customs + compliance and to disregard shipping. When I licenced mine, I put my market value as my total costs minus Brissie - Perth freight and broker's fee and the person behind the desk challenged my declared market value and printed out a Redbook valuation (which at the time was significantly over inflated). She called her boss over, he said if I've declared it they have to accept my declaration and if they choose to review it at a later date I'd get a letter. That was 4 months ago so I think I'm safe. I didn't try to scam anyone, I just put down my total costs assuming that anyone could import the equivalent for the same price.

So my advice is to put your landed and complied price as your market value and take your receipts as proof.

You need to make sure the car is 100% standard with new Cat's, tyres and so on fitted as quite a few cars complied in QLD have been getting knocked back at the pits for things they know are to be done as part of compliance, a quick search will show the posts on the subject.

People were picked up for JDM tyres still fitted, after market wheels, suspension, no tyre placard and the list goes on, they are being targeted so make sure it is as per the book unless you are feeling lucky but after the ACCC incident they are very strict.

Stamp Duty will be on the market value not what it cost you, not to long ago people were getting away with what it owed them but DPI picked up on it.

What was the "shipping issue" that would cause the car to be complied in QLD?.

Hey sorry guys dont have internet at home so i have to wait till i get into work. Well i guess ill only find out when my car gets here as to the work they have done over there. But i know i paid for new tyres so that should be one less thing to worry about. I guess ill just take my receipts down as well as a market value estimate from Redbook and which ever i get ill have to deal with.

I think the issue was that the port that my car was at could not ship to Perth or there was going to be a very long delay till it would leave. And if i wanted it to be shipped to Perth then i would have to pay for relocating the car. So thats why it went to Brissy(i think).

But i am new to the importing scene and im not too sure as to how things operate so everyday is a learning curve.

Thanks again for all your help.

Cheers

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
