I had to call my Customs broker today and he questioned me on a car my mate is bringing in under the 15 year rule.

I had to answer to customs if a, All costs were declared including storage and b, If a Broker's fee was paid.

Customs are cracking doen on this boat on personal cars coming from Japan so make sure you have all your docs.

This month it took 3 weeks for a Soarer to clear customs as the owner didnt declare storage and it held the car up with the owner having to pay storage here on the docks as well.

Don't you have to show them your telegraph-transfer papers as proof?

Or is it like you said, with the owner only declaring whatever they want? Sorta like when you transfer a car into your name here locally in Australia and you put market value price on the forms?

Some people make two payments but only declare only one, one guy they caught buy making him bring in his bank accounts and looked at overseas transfers and found the one's that were for Storage.

customs requirements in perth are a lil different to those around australia. for example there's no such thing as a Broker's Licence in VIC/NSW.

The Brokers Licence is from the Dealers board like all dealer licences, it is because it is a Dealers Licence which as why Customs are looking at people who have used their services, so if you have used a VIC "Consultant" broker you are looked at in a different view compared to using a WA "Broker".

i dunno if its such an easy thing to regulate tho, i mean, I make shitloads of transfers to japanese account (yahoo auction bidding etc) and if I was to say import a car and asked for my bank acct details, then they would be very confused.

Besides, isn't it a breach of privacy if they ask you to provide bank details?

When you are being audited by Customs accountants you will have to show what every transfer was for, like I bought this and then I bought this but they will look at it if you were doing it as a bussiness of just buying for personal use.

It is a living hell being audited buy them and how do you think the find money launderers ask permission to look at you accounts or just look.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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
