very true.... my power fc should be all right then. thanx guys!!

btw, where can i get a custom broker?? are they listed somewhere?

When i brought my GRT into the country I used Mac Customs - 07 3868 1590. Fax 07 3268 2191. I never had a drama with them with my car. Try them and see if they will do smaller items.

I can clear it for you should you need help. I am a customs broker... pm me if you need some advice.

It should sail though customs as long as the free on board value is under $1000

Even if it was over $1000, an ECU is duty free anyway - you'll still be up for gst and associated entry charges though.

Cheers.

cheers mate, one more thing, what about exhaust dump pipes which was just under 1000 without delivery?? should they be tax free as well??

appreciate your help.

Dump pipes/exhaust systems are dutiable (10%)... Make sure you don't get confused between tax and duty though. Duty is a revenue and GST is... well... a tax.

GST is calculated on:

The value of the goods

+ the cost of overseas transport

+ the insurance (allow .25 % of the cost and freight usually)

+ duty applicable

Of course if the value is under $1000, then the above is irrelevant - always good to know though so you don't get any nasty suprises.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
