I am planing a trip to japan in the next couple months and i really want to get info on sending a container back home to australia. i have a group of friends who wish to put in an order for multiple engines and parts if i can source them. I have a contact over there who has a garage, truck, tools etc and will help me dissemble and pack everything. My question is not directly for cost to ship container (but if anyone has info would be much appreciated) but more toward cost getting through customs etc. Will i be allowed to bring that much parts over personally without being a registered importer with an abn in aus? Do i need proof i am not importing to resell? if i do need a licence how do i acquire one and at what cost? any info will be much appreciated

Might ring a customs broker on monday or something.

This.

This is a good move.

Ask about customs and quarantine responsibilities. And dont be stupid and let your mates hang you out to dry by not paying beforehand.

indeed. this is part of the reason i will not tke an order without getting full payment on it first.

clearing a container properly is about $6k . grab a broker and get talking.

I just spent 5 years in Japan teaching, retired and came back to Aus with 2 containers, including a bunch of car parts/halfcuts.

Basically expect to pay around $12,000 on top of your parts/car price by the time your 20 foot cube is in the backyard.

If you cant find any info on the net or by calling your customs agent your welcome to give me a call any time (02)66333131 at home or email [email protected]

I did end up registering for an ABN etc but its more of a hobby than a business for me at this point.

No problem for a private person to bring in a box but be VERY careful of lots of middlemen trying to get some extra $ out of you as they assume you dont know what your doing....

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
