If you're going to go to the effort of paying IMT fees and shipping you might as well get AD08s/RE-11s/Z1s.

Wanted something that would last a lil longer on the street and hopefully have decent tread left by the time someone decides to buy the car :)

The value of the GOODS has to be below $1000 AUD. Not the shipping.

I bought a set of tyres and Bilstein shocks and it came to AUD$990 + shipping. :D Just snuck in.

I always thought it was the total value inclusive of shipping. Learn something new everyday!

Yeah it's confusing. If the value of your goods are over AUD$1000 at the time customs screen them then you will be liable for 5% duty on the purchase price only plus 10% GST on the total price including postage. I had to call customs for clarification cause their website is crap.

If our local retailers get their way though it might be short lived:

I'm fairly sure they include shipping cost in duty calculations. they certainly do for cars. it's FOB cost + ocean freight cost. I wouldn't wager any money on it but if I had to guess I'd say it's the same rule for packages. cost of items + cost of freight = dutiable amount.

ended up getting my tyres. took less then a week to get to my door, with the cheaper shipping option. was a bit of a pain to get the whole wire transfer thing done but overall it was worth it. the tyres are epic. should have bought them ages back.

pro tip: buy while the dollar is strong.

the freight tracking ability is also very good, makes me happy to know where and how far away the shipment was.

-----------------

avoiding GST when importing, you could just ask the company to send it "one at a time" so technically it's just multiple shipments of cheap items instead of one shipment of expensive and taxable tyres :dry:

yes, tax evasion however that is still legal.

EDIT:

OK, I realise now after reading posts, that I have to Wire transfer.. Do I have to contact them Via Email First, and give them the details of the Tyres I want. then wait for a response.? from some nuff nuff. Pretty Gay how the site isn't set up for International orders.

email them with the extra tyre size and brand. they ll give you a quote for shipping and total cost.

then ask for wire transfer details. make sure they give you the correct swift code. when going to the bank, make sure you have all the information required. including names and addresses of the bank and tirerack.

plus the range and availability of tyres, especially high end and racing tyres. the tyres i bought wont be available in stores for a good 2 months.

      Rotisserie Advice

      By ianp · Posted

      My rotisserie is due to be delivered next week and I need to get my R32 mounted on to it. I know how to mount it on the actual rotisserie but those of you that have, did you add any additional bracing to the chassis? I was planning on welding some 1x1 box section across the top of the seatbelt buckles, across the back seats and then down to the front footwells (and possible across from there also? I've also put the behind dash bar back in to give a bit more strength. Its mostly going to be the floor and sills being cut out with a little on the rear quarters

      Only problem with that is it's obvious to the police, but same same with the aes valve. Most people get the valve precat so it's harder to see when looking under the car from the rear.

      It's been a looooooong while since I did this, but... No, from memory there's a feed ring around the inside of the squirter. Otherwise,  they would have to be too precise when machining the threads in the block, and the banjo bolts themselves.
