king_kw13 Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 hey how much does it cost to freight stuff over from japan by - air - sea is there any guarantee that the stuff will get here if it is put onto a boat? i mean, our goods are not subject to rape and torture by wharfies (like our poor cars are on the docks when they first arrive) right?

floody Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 My question is sorta OT, sorta not. I'm planning on going over for a year, maybe 2 to work when I'm done with my English/Education degree. Girlfriend and I are planning on buying a car each. What I am wondering is, is it possible to fill your car up with bits and pieces? Like buy a R32 GT-R, and chuck a turbo kit, some seats, coilovers, spare rims, R34 six speed, R33 brembos, bits and pieces inside? All wrapped up to keep it nice and clean of course. Will you get taxed on all that stuff thats in the car? E.g if its for my own spare parts on my personal import car? I wouldn't want to have it all stolen when I get back either. I'd like to buy something and bring it home to do the modding myself. Plan to get a R32 and a JZA80 supra. cheers, floody Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23713-stuff-you-would-buy-if-you-went-to-japan/page/2/#findComment-510769 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muz Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 floody, I think if you check with Customs on this but I have done quite a few trips o/s and in all the info that I have read it states that if you are out of the country for longer than a certain period of time, (used to be twelve months) no duty was payable if you could prove ownership of the goods for that period. However as I said, check with Customs I'm sure that they will give you the correct information.

floody Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Cool, thanks Muz. Yeah More than likely I'll be over there for 1-2 years depending whether I can get work for the second year. I'll check it out. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23713-stuff-you-would-buy-if-you-went-to-japan/page/2/#findComment-512275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muz Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hey floody, if you're heading off to Nippon, maybe we can start a small export - import business. Just a thought. Enjoy it all .... I did.
