Guys

I got the news mine was bumped and missed the November Ship.

I decided to bump mine to the January, December is a shocking month to have an import come in. Warfys are on go slows and compliance workshops are half closed.

I got caught last time I had a car import two years ago.

The import duties are dropping next year so I should save myself a few hundred bucks.

Cheers

[sav1]

so why do they bump them, do they give preference to new cars/manufactures like toyota, nissan etc? and grey imports just fill up the empty spaces or what?

[madmurf]

Yes the new car boys who are their biggest clients get the first choice and this month was busy for new cars.

:kick:

[PHATR32]

how did ya find out? geoff said he'll let me know when he finds out but i havnt heard from him yet.

Guys

Geoff is flat out selling. I think transport is second on his list.

Believe me the Perth ship is full and the buyers are fully aware of which cars are loaded.

I didnt buy through Geoff.

:jump:

[PHATR32]

just got the email, and she wont be here for another 4 weeks

[madmurf]

Sorry to hear dood

So lets see delivbery into Perth early December. Allow a week to clear customs and steam clean it. Now thats mid December

Deliver to w/shop and let it sit in there for three to four weeks allowing for holidays over Chrismas and newyear.

Rego.

My guess is Early to mid Jan before you see it on the road.

PS Make sure the work shops are ready to work on your car

Cheers :wassup:

[PHATR32]

no, im not gonna comply it till jan/feb. i just want it in my gagrage!!

I varys who is getting the car on the boat for you and where it leaves from as I had a Supra bought up in Tokyo last week and it left on the boat a couple of days ago, he is Japanese and we had to pre pay the freight.

I have cars leaving down in Kyushu and could only get one on the boat out of three and the one that got priority we paid for it 2 months ago.

K Line over booked new cars and we were going to get nothing on the boat until a few people called K line in Fremantle so they called Japan and pushed to get some cars on.

Imported second hand cars are a low priority, some of the big time guys who do 50 to 100 cars a month cant even get space.

I have not had a problem at all of late........ I am always able to get them on the next boat leaving Japan.........bonus.

Well good news for me I guess is that I just found out that my car is currently on a Kiwicar ship over here.. Its been a wait of about 2 months since it was eligible to when it was shipped, but should be here in about 2-3 weeks I guess. On road 2-3 weeks after that hopefully.

I like the little dot on the map they have to show where the ship is exactly

[lwells]

Gordan: what do you have on the way? What happened to the old car?

LW.

[predator]

the r33? sold that about 4 months ago...the suspension setup was never really that great and a few others things on it needed changing, and was getting bored with it anyhow. Want a cheaper chasis to setup everything exactly how I want it - fresh start!

18 day turn around on my last approval.

[Godzilla32]

Hey guys just thought id let you know i sent my import approval off over 2 weeks prior to november, month my GTR was built (as instructed by geoff) and i just got the approval in the mail today. I was pretty relieved

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

i checked my credit card account today, and $50 has been deducted on the 1st Oct (about 6 days after i sent mine off)

Does that mean that they have processed it or what?

[sav1]

yeah merlin,

if your account has been debited then it means approval will arrive in the mail in a couple of days time.

Man, 6 days is a quick turnaround
