Hi all,

I am contemplating on ordering some Rays Gram light wheels from Nengun but I am curious to know how much the customs tax would be for the 4 wheels once they arrive in Australia. Would it be like 10% of the total price that I would have to pay for all of the wheels including delivery etc...

Cheers,

You may actually get away without paying tax on them.

I,err, someone I had a passing acquaintance with didn't get slugged for import duty.

The downside is you have to be prepared to wait. Mine took quite a few months (yes months) but when I did get them the date of manufacture was two weeks old, ie it was a case of Nengun waiting for Rays to make them.

Really??? Thats handy! But did you or the other person do anything to miss out on import duty? Or just really lucky?

Cheers,

use streeter, MUCH better than nengun, and ull most likely dodge the tax that way as well.

if u dont beleive me search streeter over on ns/ht.com. if u still buy from anyone else ur an idiot lol

I checked your "ns/ht.com" and searched "streeter" but theres nothing. What is that?

I was thinking about using Nengun to purchase Rays wheels. Thing i like is that you can choose custom offsets for every wheel. Let us know how long everything takes and the process involved if you do, as i am considering buying new gram lights myself in the next few months.

I have bought many items off nengun that have been well over the 1k mark you are meant to pay tax on and has never happened.

They generally break your items up into separate packages with a a divided value marked on the EMS slip. Import tax is really only flagged on people who they find are bringing in large quantities of a given item. Not the individuals.

in my experience your pretty safe to bring in individual purchases without import tax... just don't do a group buy :D

PS It will take a long time for your stuff to arrive with nengun... but they sometimes can't be beaten on price.

+1

am dealing with him right now. you CANT go wrong.

So this streeter guy is decent on prices hey?

I've never heard of him before, he new?

he's the cheapest broker around, the only way his prices are beat is if the supplier gets special discounts in Japan. the reason why u havnt heard of him is he goes by word of mouth, he doesnt advertise anywhere. he is a member on here, but ur better off just emailing him.

+1 for Streeter! You will simply not find a better price or anyone who has a bad word to say about him.

You didn't look too hard, i came up with this within 5 seconds of searching on ns.com

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
