Hi

Anyone knows a cheap and safe way sending car parts back home? from Osaka to Brisbane to be exact.

I got a metal Grille around 150cm length by 30cm 13kg

and possibly 4 x 15 Inch wheels

EMS or SAL will be the cheapest option that i know right now... instead of going through private packing/moving company.

How about going through Exporters/Importers? like they can put my stuff in their container right?

If anyone could help me out that would save us a lot of money as we are on a budget as well.

Cheers!

thanks in advance

Rob

If you want I can get you a quote for putting the stuff in our container that we have comin down. Basically you have to pay a share of the freight cost and packing cost, and then the appropriate taxes n duties. We don't do any devaluing goods and other dodgy stuff tho, so its all by the book.

  • 5 weeks later...

you should be able to bring it through as luggage - I can't see why not, surfboards etc, are well over those dimensions. I'd definitely pack and protect it very very well though.

If I go home in august, I'll be bringing a front bumper with me this way

thats what I want to hear!!!

I packed it with bubble wrap and in a very strong box.

I'm thinking of just hand carrying my Flares wrapped with bubble wrap, as if I put it in a box it looks big but empty.

Well I will let you know cos I'm going back this month.

Cheers!

Hi I just tried to send my grilles by Japan Post and they have a maximum 105cm and 20kg

mine is 150cm and 20kg so its a no go for EMS for me :rofl:

The airline will charge me 3,100 Yen per kg that means its gonna be 62,000 YEN!!!

tried shipping/moving company and they want to charge me their minimum 1 cubic metre for 70,000 YEN

Anyone got a container going back to australia? chuck my box in and i will chuck my share?

Anyone got an idea on how I can take this back home?

Cheers!

Troy...your offer is very generous but the problem is time for me as I will be leaving thursday morning. So last day tomorrow (today 12:37 am now). I guess I will just take it with me and pay the excess rate of 3,100 YEN per KG.

And yeh my GF says hi

thanks

SAL isn't actually that slow. I regularly post stuff back to NZ marked SAL, and it gets there in about 7 days (even though they quote 2 - 3 weeks).

It only really ever gets bumped off the flights if the post is really busy (ie the end of the financial year or Christmas)

You should be OK.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
