Did anyone mension that they are also cheaper because aussie tax/duty is not include in that price(this is where most if not all of your saving comes from). if you get picked up at customs its about another 25% ontop of nenguns price.

Not to mension costs in retuns if the item shipped is the wrong part or faulty (not likly but possible) also there is sometimes a pretty long wait for parts (weeks to months). yes overseas is cheaper but it does have its risks

Where did you get 25% from ?

Import duty is 10% and then add another 10% gst , thats nowhere near 25 % .

ok ill help you out.... if something costs you 10 oranges and you pay duty of 1 orange to get it in the country(10%) you have now paid 11 orange in total, then johnny howard wants a sum of oranges equal to 10%(gst) of your 11 oranges (1.1oranges)so in total you have now paid 12.1 oranges. 2.1 of those being in taxes making the total amount of taxes 2.1 oranges or 2.1/10 which gives you 21%.....pretty close to 25% (you wouldnt exactly describe 21 as being NOWHERE NEAR 25 would you)

Yoou are correct in your example and i know that i have paid it often enough .

Now 21% is much closer to 20% than 25 % to me , i dont know about you or others .

If you knew how it works why didnt you say 21% in your earlier post ? Or just say 10% +10% on top . By you saying 25 % people think its still 15% duty + 10 gst which we all know is wrong .

so what are the chances of getting taxes? I contacted 'bigsully' and can get some in 1.5 weeks for a price cheaper than Nengun + potential taxes, but more than the current nengun price of $597

I did a bit of a ring around when i ordered my coils, airport dudes, customs and the general advice i got back was, that if the part is under $1000 you are under no obligation to declare it for tax purposes (like getting a present from overseas relitives).... and the same for anything over that, if it is not to be resold in oz (bussiness)....

I was happy with that so i get all my parts from there.... the main downside is the wait mine took 3 weeks but only casue i ordered them during the sold out period......

You sure? We just ordered some X-Box stuff from Japan, was only $300 worth or so. We had no idea about import tax, then $100 bill rocked up in the mail. It was a very nasty surprise.

Including taxes???

They can't say a price delivered and then add on extra can they>>???

Why not?

It's quite simple - Nengun are in Japan, we are in Australia. They have no control over import duties and local taxes here, therefore how can they possibly quote a price including our local taxes when you purchase it from them in Japan.

Just for the record, I'm expecting a bill for GST/Duty on my coils now - apparantly they were pulled up in Customs according to the EMS tracking on my parcel. Hopefully they let them through without slapping me the bill, but I guess it's the risk you take when you purchase from overseas...

I just purchased a HKS GTSS turbo kit through greenline, I received a letter from the customs place at Granville saying I had to show how much I payed for what was in the box and also what was it exactly. I showed them my Greenline receipt, which was $3400 ($3150ish for turbos and $250ish for shipping). I was charged 10%GST on the turbo's and then on the shipping. SO added up to a $330 bill plus a $48 fee from customs. So total tax I paid was $380.. which isnt too bad for a turbo kit that i paid $3400 for and retails for $6000 in Australia :rofl:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
