Hi all,

I am contemplating on ordering some Rays Gram light wheels from Nengun but I am curious to know how much the customs tax would be for the 4 wheels once they arrive in Australia. Would it be like 10% of the total price that I would have to pay for all of the wheels including delivery etc...

Cheers,

You may actually get away without paying tax on them.

I,err, someone I had a passing acquaintance with didn't get slugged for import duty.

The downside is you have to be prepared to wait. Mine took quite a few months (yes months) but when I did get them the date of manufacture was two weeks old, ie it was a case of Nengun waiting for Rays to make them.

Really??? Thats handy! But did you or the other person do anything to miss out on import duty? Or just really lucky?

Cheers,

use streeter, MUCH better than nengun, and ull most likely dodge the tax that way as well.

if u dont beleive me search streeter over on ns/ht.com. if u still buy from anyone else ur an idiot lol

I checked your "ns/ht.com" and searched "streeter" but theres nothing. What is that?

I was thinking about using Nengun to purchase Rays wheels. Thing i like is that you can choose custom offsets for every wheel. Let us know how long everything takes and the process involved if you do, as i am considering buying new gram lights myself in the next few months.

I have bought many items off nengun that have been well over the 1k mark you are meant to pay tax on and has never happened.

They generally break your items up into separate packages with a a divided value marked on the EMS slip. Import tax is really only flagged on people who they find are bringing in large quantities of a given item. Not the individuals.

in my experience your pretty safe to bring in individual purchases without import tax... just don't do a group buy :D

PS It will take a long time for your stuff to arrive with nengun... but they sometimes can't be beaten on price.

+1

am dealing with him right now. you CANT go wrong.

So this streeter guy is decent on prices hey?

I've never heard of him before, he new?

he's the cheapest broker around, the only way his prices are beat is if the supplier gets special discounts in Japan. the reason why u havnt heard of him is he goes by word of mouth, he doesnt advertise anywhere. he is a member on here, but ur better off just emailing him.

+1 for Streeter! You will simply not find a better price or anyone who has a bad word to say about him.

You didn't look too hard, i came up with this within 5 seconds of searching on ns.com

Well there you go. Might have to give him a try one day.

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
