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.

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

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
