Cd009 Gearbox From Lhd G35 Into Rhd V35 Will It Fit?

[Seano350GT]

I have been doing a shit load of research on doing the swap but i haven't even thought if it will actually fit into my RHD car.. i found a post on www.my350z.com and they mentioned "Importing gearbox from USA. Sharif, had a good deal on some CD009 gearboxes (latest revision) (c.£1,000 excluding delivery and VAT/duty, at the previous favourable exchange rate); but these were incompatable with RHD cars. The gearboxes are RHD/LHD specific"

Does anyone have some insight on this? I can't seem to find any other information on the internet and Coz from ConceptZperformance hasn't replied to my email yet asking him if it will actually fit.. I am purchasing the gearbox clutch and flywheel today so a quick reply would be great.

thank you.

Edit: Ok so Coz replied to my email just as i hit post on here, he says quote

"oh yea, we ship them there all the time"

I am still a little worried, surely he wouldn't just say that to make a $3200 sale would he?

lots of people put them in RHD 350zs

Can't see it being any different mate, and Coz is a straight up guy.

[Seano350GT]

Yeah see that's what i thought, it's just annoying reading posts like that when people aren't correct. Coz replied to a 2nd email saying that they use the exact same gearbox for LHD and RHD and that the guy from England has no idea what he's saying.

I think i've got enough confidence now to transfer Coz a lot of money.

Heard from a mate that Coz is a stand up bloke and does a lot of stuff for the 300zx boys at aus300zx.com.

From that, I'd trust him.

True, true....

But its not like its snuck up on him. Gotta pay if you want to play!

[Seano350GT]

It did take me a month to earn $4000 but hey i guess your right Alex.

I can't do that, my bank is conveniently only located in NSW.. i've got a form i've sent to Coz that i need him to fill out the bank details then send it back then i send that to my bank and we're good to go. I really need to open an account with a local bank..

Use Pennytell (mayebe one l) - no transfer fees, you can use direct debit so no fees at all or your CC for faster and more protection but 2%

I used them many times when seller doesnt have paypal or accept CC..

Im also looking at CD009 one day too.. what shipping method and price you getting?

Damn, too late now i've just sent the paperwork off to my bank. Thanks though i will use that for future transactions.

I got a killer deal off Coz at ConceptZperformance. I purchased a brand new CD009 gearbox with all the bits included like chromoly pivot ball ss clutch lines and nismo bushings. I also purchased a Southbend clutch & flywheel combo (Southbend is made by Exedy so it's good quality)

And i was going to buy some amsoil gearbox & diff oil off him but he couldn't source it so i got it for Brisbane pretty cheap.

Anyway, for everything it's exactly $3,144.00 shipped to my door. Shipping for everything was only $575 or something so i'm pretty pleased with that. Coz is also writing up a 2nd invoice to go with the package marked as a gearbox rebuild and valued at under $1000 so i don't get any import/tax fees!

My only thoughts is you might want to make the payment difficult to track if the seller is undervaluing it to avoid import duty.. last thing you want is customs to get suspicious, check your credit card records or bank records and find a payment to the seller for way over what was declared.. at least with a 3rd party involved, it would be harder to track down.

[Seano350GT]

How would you get around this, do you mean transferring money from 2 different accounts? Yeah wouldn't be a bad idea, i'm guessing there is a substantial fine that goes along with avoiding import taxes? lol, Coz says he does it all the time and has no negative feedback but yeah.

[sonicii]

I would expect he would be the one in trouble, he makes the value declaration on the customs form, not you.

[PN-Mad]

Nope, not cozs issue.

Importer.

[sonicii]

The exporter is the one who fills out the customs declaration, so how could the importer be the one responsible for a false declaration? Especially since they won't even see the declaration until they have the item..

However, if customs find out the real value, the importer will be responsible for paying the appropriate duty/tax.

[Seano350GT]

Regardless, let's just not think about getting whacked with another bill just now after spending this much money i don't want to fork out anymore lol

[PN-Mad]

You already posted it on a public forum.

You should be more careful of who might be reading this.

OzForex are a good alternative, when sending more than AUD$2000. If it's less than AUD$10,000 they charge a $15 transfer fee. Otherwise, $10,000+ attracts no transfer fee and their commission percentage is extremely competitive compared to the banks. More importantly, they make sure the recipient gets what you say you want to pay them. Banks can be a little difficult with that as they don't always factor in the receiving bank's charges when they take your money.

It's how I paid for my V36 back in November 2011. Couldn't be happier. If I ever decide to buy the GTM Supercharger kit, I won't be paying by credit card!

[R6n350GT]

How is coz shipping it for $575? thats pretty good i think. If you sent with pennytel it would be harder to track as they sent the money via their bank not yours so trail ends there. but yeah remove that post
