Cheap !, when the price is in Yellow ( ie. the 190,000 yen ) that is the desired and will sell at price. 190,000 at the current exchange rate is about $2900 aus in japan . Would hardly call that cheap, especially when I have a set of R34 GTR rims and brand new tyres for sale at $3800 .

You really need to have contacts in Japan.....

But if someone knows someone.....

There are always the Japanese S1 R31 tail lights for sale on Jap Yahoo....

Theyre never any more than $75 AU at auction, but they want over $300 for them here (when you can find them)

[DLuded]

like R31 Skyline Chick said its all about contacts. most people over in japan wont be bothered to ship it overseas. not long ago there was a r32 gts4 which no one bided on. there was no reserve so someone could have picked it up for around $500-$800 ( i forget the actual amount )

:confused: ......Japan rims = $2900(and tyres Bridgestone RE040) .....ur selling for $3800(brand new tyres)....why isn't the japan rims/tyres cheap??? :confused:

[gtrken]

err ... cos the Japan rims are in Japan and mine are here in Aust with all the duties, taxes , shipping and middleman markup paid.

Find someone to buy em in Japan for you and send em down, you will find out

ok, from my shocking experience...10% GST (they even charge GST on the Janapese postage) 15% of stamp duty...

so work it out yourself....hope this help....

Btw, I told them send as evaluation unit next time ..

[Guest Boxhead]

plus you gotta remember that you have to(by law) change the tyres over to aussie ones, i know you could prlly get away with out doin this, but still.. if cop notices difference he can defect you.. and thats 2 pts of liscence now isnt it

[Guest GR33DyMANGO]

the 2 points is only for loud music and loud exhausts

I'm currently waiting to see if I've won a set of wheels on the Yahoo Auction in Japan. The bidding closed about 4 hours ago and I was (... well I think I was) the highest bidder with 41,500Y. By the time they get here should cost about $1000 (If I've won them *fingers crossed*).

I'm able to do this thanks to J-SPEC Imports . Thanks heaps!!!!

They're 18 x 8 made by Rays Eng for a company called Brunt. Brand new as well...

Just got word that they are now mine!!!!

They came in at 56,500Y (~$832), transport in Japan is 14,500Y to make a grand total of 71,000Y(~$1045) FOB. GST looks like it'll be $80 odd, duty $130, and about $50-$150 for freight.

So it looks like a brand new set of Rays 18x8s will be mine for about $1400-$1500! Not bad considering they go for about $2500 normally!

This is certainly the way I've been doing it. But lately (ie ever since they revamped the look of the site) the translation page has been a bit farked (after you hit translate it just reloads the translation page). If you keep trying it usually works after a couple of goes tho.
