I'm looking at getting a Nismo Diff kit sent over.

A better unit and cheaper than most others over here.

Will I get slammed with Duty Tax when it goes through customs ?

Or can I get it labelled specifically to avoid this ?

Cheers.

If it's under $1000 including postage then you won't. But I suspect it will be over limit.

I'm not sure of the weight of them but if it comes through the normal ems postage then more than likely it will get through without any fees. If it's too heavy for the post and they use a courier then you will have to pay as they declare it for you!

The kit is $1589 inc postage. Don't know the weight. How much is Duty anyway ?

For another $16, Nengun offer to repack the items into several unmarked boxes so no one knows what's inside for security reasons. They're happy to label it as per my instructions for customs.

I could then stipulate the value of each box separately.

Anyone else done this ?

Cheers.

As Dan says it's very unlikely you'll get touched. Getting it sent in several boxes might raise suspicions more so as the packages are all coming to you.

Duty will be around the $250 mark.

allow me to kick some nasty thoughts

when i was like - 20. i bought wheels from indonesia. 4 wheels. bought the wheels - 18" diameter

$750 worth

took them to shipping company, shipping comany built a crate, put them on a boat and sent them over. $500 odd shipping. 6 week wait. crate was delivered to fremantle port. so

40 minute drive and a day off work to pick them up

$150 shifting fee, $100 handover fee. and 2 x $25 holding fee daily

cost heaps

plus taxes plus gst

the next time i did this

bought the wheels. kept them in boxes. bought wheels. took wheels up street to UPS agent. posted them to my door for $80 a wheel posted to my door in five days. no duty. no mess. no anything

moral of the story is. post thru EMS or UPS or whatever

chances are you won't have to pay duty or customs. seeing as it's a one-off occasion in their eyes. but... even if you have to pay duty. it's not that much and... to put it bluntly... buy the diff. cross the other bridges when you come to it.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
