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

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
