Hello,

I have been enquiring about the Do Luck BNR32 body kit from a company called BOOM Industries. I initially sent an email directly to Do Luck USA and they forwarded it to these guys. Now, I have been told I can get a bit of a discount on the kit (god knows why, but I ain complaining), but the shipping OMMFG the shipping.

They came back to me with a quote to ship the kit to Perth International Airport. The kit will be in a box with dimensions 195x68x86cm, so nearly 2 metres long. The shipping cost.... 98,000jpy >_<, thats about $1170 and thats only to the airport, I will have to get it delivered from there to a workshop or my house as well.

Does that seem like a lot to you?

No sounds about right for Air. Try econo air or sea freight if you can afford the time. Helluva lot cheaper.

I just asked them (BOOM) to give me a price on freight to the airport, so I don't even know who they chose...

EDIT: I am yet to email them back, so I just want some ideas how I should reply. Can I tell them to quote using Econo Air?

for items like that, dont use EMS. Get it shipped by sea freight. Im guessing sea freight would be no more than 2-300 bucks ?

OK, thanks TommyK

I asked them about sea freight and it came to 38,000jpy ($453) so thats not too bad, but then I will be playing the waiting game...which is no biggy.

cheers

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
