Hey all,

I know there is a million threads on Greenline. But i have searched with no luck in what i need...

Im about to buy $4795 of head parts for my gtr from Greenline Motorsports...

Im kinda worried how much i will be charged additional when the parts arrive

Greenline have said this:

'' From our experience in Australia, the import system works as follows:

Cost of products + 15% (maximum) import duties + cost of shipping + 10% GST.

Note that for some parts such as engine management, there is 0% duties and 3% for turbos. "

Does anyone know how to calculate all of this ??

Let me know

ASAP i have 5 days : )

thanx in advance

Have a look at the customs website. All the info you need is there:

just get some dodgy recipts made up for a cheaper price and dont pay any duties or gst, some people do it from what i heard

T88,

I certainly wouldn't follow this advice as is "always_me" going to pay the fine or do the time for what is a Federal offence? I would also advise against giving such stupid advice on what is a public forum...

Out.

im not telling him to do it, as you probably know 90percent of people do it anyways ,so im only stating a fact

I know you are not "Telling" him to do it, but "just get some dodgy recipts...." sounds like advice, which is what I advised against giving. A fair point I think...

Import duty is only 10% now ( from january 1 2005) the rest is correct .

Invoice total +10% duty +10% gst on the total , no duty on computer ( but only if you dont tell them its a car part ) the reduced duty on turbos is only if you tell them they are compressors ( not car parts ) . Don't do the dodgy invoice thing , if you get cought it will cost you heaps more and a criminal record as well .

Always me : 90% of people dont do the dodgy invoice thing , whenever i get something from o/s i pay the tax as i'm sure most people do .

Its all good i figured id take my chances and no matter what i need these parts so i might aswell Pay the TAX involved...

Thanx everyone :(

if customs pick up on what your importing you have no choice.... you pay the tax or you dont get your goods.... its easy as that.

You may be lucky though.... lots of people have had stuff come through without it even being looked at, lots of people have had their stuff checked, i guess it just depends on the day

    • I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.
    • Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...
    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
