Did anyone mension that they are also cheaper because aussie tax/duty is not include in that price(this is where most if not all of your saving comes from). if you get picked up at customs its about another 25% ontop of nenguns price.

Not to mension costs in retuns if the item shipped is the wrong part or faulty (not likly but possible) also there is sometimes a pretty long wait for parts (weeks to months). yes overseas is cheaper but it does have its risks

Where did you get 25% from ?

Import duty is 10% and then add another 10% gst , thats nowhere near 25 % .

ok ill help you out.... if something costs you 10 oranges and you pay duty of 1 orange to get it in the country(10%) you have now paid 11 orange in total, then johnny howard wants a sum of oranges equal to 10%(gst) of your 11 oranges (1.1oranges)so in total you have now paid 12.1 oranges. 2.1 of those being in taxes making the total amount of taxes 2.1 oranges or 2.1/10 which gives you 21%.....pretty close to 25% (you wouldnt exactly describe 21 as being NOWHERE NEAR 25 would you)

Yoou are correct in your example and i know that i have paid it often enough .

Now 21% is much closer to 20% than 25 % to me , i dont know about you or others .

If you knew how it works why didnt you say 21% in your earlier post ? Or just say 10% +10% on top . By you saying 25 % people think its still 15% duty + 10 gst which we all know is wrong .

so what are the chances of getting taxes? I contacted 'bigsully' and can get some in 1.5 weeks for a price cheaper than Nengun + potential taxes, but more than the current nengun price of $597

I did a bit of a ring around when i ordered my coils, airport dudes, customs and the general advice i got back was, that if the part is under $1000 you are under no obligation to declare it for tax purposes (like getting a present from overseas relitives).... and the same for anything over that, if it is not to be resold in oz (bussiness)....

I was happy with that so i get all my parts from there.... the main downside is the wait mine took 3 weeks but only casue i ordered them during the sold out period......

You sure? We just ordered some X-Box stuff from Japan, was only $300 worth or so. We had no idea about import tax, then $100 bill rocked up in the mail. It was a very nasty surprise.

Including taxes???

They can't say a price delivered and then add on extra can they>>???

Why not?

It's quite simple - Nengun are in Japan, we are in Australia. They have no control over import duties and local taxes here, therefore how can they possibly quote a price including our local taxes when you purchase it from them in Japan.

Just for the record, I'm expecting a bill for GST/Duty on my coils now - apparantly they were pulled up in Customs according to the EMS tracking on my parcel. Hopefully they let them through without slapping me the bill, but I guess it's the risk you take when you purchase from overseas...

I just purchased a HKS GTSS turbo kit through greenline, I received a letter from the customs place at Granville saying I had to show how much I payed for what was in the box and also what was it exactly. I showed them my Greenline receipt, which was $3400 ($3150ish for turbos and $250ish for shipping). I was charged 10%GST on the turbo's and then on the shipping. SO added up to a $330 bill plus a $48 fee from customs. So total tax I paid was $380.. which isnt too bad for a turbo kit that i paid $3400 for and retails for $6000 in Australia :rofl:

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
