If you're going to go to the effort of paying IMT fees and shipping you might as well get AD08s/RE-11s/Z1s.

Wanted something that would last a lil longer on the street and hopefully have decent tread left by the time someone decides to buy the car :)

The value of the GOODS has to be below $1000 AUD. Not the shipping.

I bought a set of tyres and Bilstein shocks and it came to AUD$990 + shipping. :D Just snuck in.

I always thought it was the total value inclusive of shipping. Learn something new everyday!

Yeah it's confusing. If the value of your goods are over AUD$1000 at the time customs screen them then you will be liable for 5% duty on the purchase price only plus 10% GST on the total price including postage. I had to call customs for clarification cause their website is crap.

If our local retailers get their way though it might be short lived:

I'm fairly sure they include shipping cost in duty calculations. they certainly do for cars. it's FOB cost + ocean freight cost. I wouldn't wager any money on it but if I had to guess I'd say it's the same rule for packages. cost of items + cost of freight = dutiable amount.

ended up getting my tyres. took less then a week to get to my door, with the cheaper shipping option. was a bit of a pain to get the whole wire transfer thing done but overall it was worth it. the tyres are epic. should have bought them ages back.

pro tip: buy while the dollar is strong.

the freight tracking ability is also very good, makes me happy to know where and how far away the shipment was.

-----------------

avoiding GST when importing, you could just ask the company to send it "one at a time" so technically it's just multiple shipments of cheap items instead of one shipment of expensive and taxable tyres :dry:

yes, tax evasion however that is still legal.

EDIT:

OK, I realise now after reading posts, that I have to Wire transfer.. Do I have to contact them Via Email First, and give them the details of the Tyres I want. then wait for a response.? from some nuff nuff. Pretty Gay how the site isn't set up for International orders.

email them with the extra tyre size and brand. they ll give you a quote for shipping and total cost.

then ask for wire transfer details. make sure they give you the correct swift code. when going to the bank, make sure you have all the information required. including names and addresses of the bank and tirerack.

is there a reason they wont do paypal or credit car ?

plus the range and availability of tyres, especially high end and racing tyres. the tyres i bought wont be available in stores for a good 2 months.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
