I have and I did.

I bought 2x 225/40R18 and 2x 255/35R18 Toyo Proxes R1Rs through PriceUSA. Not only do Toyo not bring in the 255/35R18 size into Australia the costs were very reasonable.

:thumbsup:

hey hank, what was the total cost for shipping and priceUSA fees if you dont mind me asking?

cheers

Once Fed-Ex has the tyres they are generally here within the week.

Be sure to log into the shipping website and follow your shipment, when my second set of tyres left the warehouse I posted a letter to a mate in Brisbane, my tyres got to me before his letter arrived.

Hey guys I'm about to transfer cash for a set of dunlop star specs I assume they don't include the cost of freight in keeping it under 1k?

All up its costing $1050USD, $388 for shipping. I should be allright in avoiding the GST, etc, right?

Disagree. Nismoid is wrong.

Acs does not take into account the cost of shipping internationally in the initial assessment. You will be fine. Have an itemised invoice, which tirerack do.

Once the value of the actual goods go over 1000, then acs use the total amount including shipping and other costs involved to calculate the duty and any other charges.

Make sense? All the details are on their website.

I have imported in your circumstance,was not charged duty. I also am employed in the industry.

Nismoid was probably mistaken. So you said total cost is $1050 consisting of 662 for goods and 388 for shipping right?

In which case you'll be fine.

If you meant 1050 was for the tyres, and + 388 shipping on top - expect duty + aqis charges.

Exactly, $662 tyres and $388 shipping, I wasn't very clear in my original post sorry.

Sweet so no duty + aqis charges, thanks fellas

Awesome service and about 1/2 the price of most tires here. But they can't ship Yokohama to Australia anymore. Looks like the local Yoko guys kicked up a stink but there are freight forwarding companies in the US that will receive them then post them on to you here ;) Got to love free markets

just a question to anyone who has bought form tire rack.

Did you require tire racks' address to complete the transfer?

My bank asked for one and i did not have it. They ended up putting in Indiana.

Guess ill have to wait and see what happens.

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
