Hi people of Perth,

I am trying to get some information to import a big quantity(10-20 pieces)(prices of product is unknown at this stage) of new aftermarket parts from overseas.

Just keen to know what are the procedures before going on with this project.

Anyone has ever been through the importing process before?

What are the rules, regulation, taxes, permits etc etc. Just need to understand more about the Western Australian law on importing products from overseas.

Thanking all in advance and all advices will be much appreciated.

CHeers!

Regards,

clement

ps: if this project goes through, i might even do a group buy in SAU. :D

Me and a mate of mine are actually trying to get some for ourselves first.

Try it on our car and see if it is as good as what people has been raving about.

Right now, I am wondering what needs to be done at the Custom and also the taxes that will sting me.

With the amount of quantity that i am planning to bring in, most probally fill it up as business import.

(or can i just put it under personal use?) less tax? lol

Yer best thing for you to do is go to a Frieght Fowarding company and get them to bring it in for you i use to work at one so i can help you get a cheap price

- Saves you with all the headaches and fighting

i have got a container which will be coming into Perth mid January next year.

There will be some other stuff inside but i have not deal with parts for vehicles before.

Hence the questions.

thanks Ricca, will contact you soon.

    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
