Ouch. From what I remember that component of mine was about $3.5k

i suppose it goes to show everything to do with a gtr is more expensive lol. i hope im not getting ripped off though.its almost double the amount you posted.

cbf with importing though

yeh sometimes its to much hassle

all looks great but that wing, oh my f**king god

TRD wing, actually looks good if the car is modded right

evo 6s are fair cheap on jspec.....wow

yeh saw 2 for $15k landed and complied O_o cheap

there prices they have for customs fees and that cant be accurate, mine is way more than that :/ .

yours probably wasn't 685,000 FOB either

cbf with importing though

I bet in 12 weeks time from now you stilll won't have a car, even if you bought local.

good thing about importing is that you pay in stages, so initial up front cost is only like 1/3rd final cost. It's almost like a loan :P

does the customs prices vary to how much the car costs in the first place? eg. the more expensive the car the more customs tax and shit id have to pay.

scratch that question lol, of course it does. i think i need some sleep :P

Importing is good fun. What was funny is my car cost me $7200 in Japan, shipping, customs duties, compliance, rego, etc. came to more than that. It was still cheaper than buying locally at the time by at least $3-4k.

    • I spent the entire of the long weekend going through my garage and I'm now, after 3.5yrs in this house, able to fit a car in. The garage is quite long and the back half has a high enough ceiling for a 2 post lift but it's going to just take too much space and I don't think I'd be able to get around the car if it was in the air. So, in comes the quick lift. It looks perfect. High enough to do most things, I reckon even getting a gearbox out would be doable.  Does anybody here have one? They're fairly cheap (~$3k) considering...  https://www.dtmtrading.com.au/product/quick-lift-portable-vehicle-hoist-3500-kg-worksafe-approved/ I'm also a bit of a non risk taker so I'd probably still use stands when under!  
    • Well now we all see it! I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.
    • I just replaced the god awful, sagging, crunchy bonnet insulation. It's something nobody but I see but it's been at me for a while.
    • yeah the south island is stunning, the wifes family is from the west coast down there so we were down there for christmas.   a high 10 would be a stretch but hilarious if it happened. fourth gear is its party gear, i don't have traction to throw more at it at lower speeds. I've found passengers don't think its that fast, i think it's because it has a digital dash so they can't see the needle move so they have no sense of speed
    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
