I am planing a trip to japan in the next couple months and i really want to get info on sending a container back home to australia. i have a group of friends who wish to put in an order for multiple engines and parts if i can source them. I have a contact over there who has a garage, truck, tools etc and will help me dissemble and pack everything. My question is not directly for cost to ship container (but if anyone has info would be much appreciated) but more toward cost getting through customs etc. Will i be allowed to bring that much parts over personally without being a registered importer with an abn in aus? Do i need proof i am not importing to resell? if i do need a licence how do i acquire one and at what cost? any info will be much appreciated

Might ring a customs broker on monday or something.

This.

This is a good move.

Ask about customs and quarantine responsibilities. And dont be stupid and let your mates hang you out to dry by not paying beforehand.

indeed. this is part of the reason i will not tke an order without getting full payment on it first.

clearing a container properly is about $6k . grab a broker and get talking.

I just spent 5 years in Japan teaching, retired and came back to Aus with 2 containers, including a bunch of car parts/halfcuts.

Basically expect to pay around $12,000 on top of your parts/car price by the time your 20 foot cube is in the backyard.

If you cant find any info on the net or by calling your customs agent your welcome to give me a call any time (02)66333131 at home or email [email protected]

I did end up registering for an ABN etc but its more of a hobby than a business for me at this point.

No problem for a private person to bring in a box but be VERY careful of lots of middlemen trying to get some extra $ out of you as they assume you dont know what your doing....

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
