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

Well there you go. Might have to give him a try one day.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
