Hi

Anyone knows a cheap and safe way sending car parts back home? from Osaka to Brisbane to be exact.

I got a metal Grille around 150cm length by 30cm 13kg

and possibly 4 x 15 Inch wheels

EMS or SAL will be the cheapest option that i know right now... instead of going through private packing/moving company.

How about going through Exporters/Importers? like they can put my stuff in their container right?

If anyone could help me out that would save us a lot of money as we are on a budget as well.

Cheers!

thanks in advance

Rob

If you want I can get you a quote for putting the stuff in our container that we have comin down. Basically you have to pay a share of the freight cost and packing cost, and then the appropriate taxes n duties. We don't do any devaluing goods and other dodgy stuff tho, so its all by the book.

  • 5 weeks later...

you should be able to bring it through as luggage - I can't see why not, surfboards etc, are well over those dimensions. I'd definitely pack and protect it very very well though.

If I go home in august, I'll be bringing a front bumper with me this way

thats what I want to hear!!!

I packed it with bubble wrap and in a very strong box.

I'm thinking of just hand carrying my Flares wrapped with bubble wrap, as if I put it in a box it looks big but empty.

Well I will let you know cos I'm going back this month.

Cheers!

Hi I just tried to send my grilles by Japan Post and they have a maximum 105cm and 20kg

mine is 150cm and 20kg so its a no go for EMS for me :rofl:

The airline will charge me 3,100 Yen per kg that means its gonna be 62,000 YEN!!!

tried shipping/moving company and they want to charge me their minimum 1 cubic metre for 70,000 YEN

Anyone got a container going back to australia? chuck my box in and i will chuck my share?

Anyone got an idea on how I can take this back home?

Cheers!

Troy...your offer is very generous but the problem is time for me as I will be leaving thursday morning. So last day tomorrow (today 12:37 am now). I guess I will just take it with me and pay the excess rate of 3,100 YEN per KG.

And yeh my GF says hi

thanks

SAL isn't actually that slow. I regularly post stuff back to NZ marked SAL, and it gets there in about 7 days (even though they quote 2 - 3 weeks).

It only really ever gets bumped off the flights if the post is really busy (ie the end of the financial year or Christmas)

You should be OK.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
