The thing that looks like a square box - that's a 'ro' as in 'rora armu baa' =] Lower Arm Bar.
And sorry my mistake, there's 2 lower arm bars available, both front.
http://www.cusco.co.jp/products/pdf/06stb_214.pdf
Type 1, and Type 2 top right corner.
And the Type II as well.
https://www.rhdjapan.com/home/produc...roduct_id=3162
I assume that they both will fit the EC5A as well as the listed EC5W?
Yes both Type 1 and Type 2 listed specifically for both cars.
Type 1 - $125 delivered
Type 2 - $225 delivered
Excellent idea Brad, shame this wasn't suggested a couple of months ago when the NZ dollar was higher against the Yen.Originally Posted by bradc
I would be keen if people want to spread the shipping cost of bigger/bulky items but if people only have smaller airfreightable items then that doesn't help me.
Sorry, my item is too big to airfreight, an awkward size and shape as well as fragile. Freighting costs quoted by RHD were 3 to 4 times the item cost making it just not worth the trouble.
Just need to find someone or a business bringing larger items across from Japan so I can slip my item in with their stuff..............any ideas or suggestions anyone.
If you buy in bulk you'll pay additional fees at customs, making their prices far more expensive than ours. Why not ask us for a group deal? Perhaps start a thread - if you want anything from Japan post it up and we'll quote you..
That include body kits and carbon-fibre body panels, bonnets, wings etc?Originally Posted by Mac.
Yes, which becomes significantly cheaper to order in bulk. One bumper? $300 in shipping. One more? +$50.
Well even that $300 is looking attractive compared to what I've quoted before but............ now comes the tricky part, what will the front lip I'm after cost me.Originally Posted by Mac.
Here's the details of the front lip:
Make: Scatch-Vogue
Vogue 'Masterage' Body Kit Parts
Legnum Model No. 03~3.5
http://www.scratch-vogue.co.jp/LEGNUM/index.html
I have the facelift (post 1998) model Galant and I'm after the lower lip to add to my front spoiler. The "Front Under Spoiler'' (39,000 Yen or about $440 NZD) is what I need. I've had it confirmed that is all I need for the facelift Galant.
Let us know what price including shipping costs to me here in Wellington
Cheers
you do realise if you go over $1000nz value on items it will get taxed, (+gst 12.5%)
and then who ever gets them would have to courier the rest out. more cost
and it would probabilly end up costing more than if you did your own order and had it shipped to you own door. and kept it below $1000, and not have to pay gst on it.
Well that's why we exist =] To take care of those unforeseen middle steps.
Vogue Lip - $796 landed. GST, shipping included.
Self import:
Part cost - NZ$450. Shipping NZ$190 - total NZ$640. Customs (10%) $64, GST $71, Customs duty $85 - total $860
you dont pay customs/gst if its under $1000
you migth get customs, depends how they feel, but no gst.
Yeah you do =] If the take on the consignment is either $50 in GST or $50 in duty it will be stopped. Therefore any item over $450 will be pursued for GST by customs and hence it will need to be cleared via a broker. Please read:
http://www.customs.govt.nz/importers...and+Levies.htm
Now if you are a one-off importer you MIGHT get away with it, but if you are a 2+ importer - commercial or private - you should get stung.
ok so i was slightly wrong,
$450 max till you get taxed,
but you dont get tax on postage/shipping costs do you?
stupid wording imo on the customs site...
http://www.customs.govt.nz/importers...ms+Charges.htm
and the Scatch-Vogue lip is (39,000 Yen or about $440 NZD)
so will still fall under the $450 max mark
either way, everthing im importing falls under $450 so im not worried.
but good on you for being the middle man.
Yep you get taxed on the combined shipping and part cost. Shipping on large items like the lips is expensive because of the size.
For example, even though an HKS Altezza Front bumper is only 7kg boxed (normally about $70 NZ to post) the size of it means EMS can't take it so it has to be air freighted, total cost $310 at last count.
So the cusco anti roll bars are no longer available?
I'm really keen for a set front and rear! If not cusco then any other brand will be ok as long as they are thicker and stiffer.
Found it! Ding Ding!
http://www.cusco.co.jp/products/pdf/06sta_86.pdf
Normal 20mm Front, Cusco 22mm - $325 - 130% increase
Normal 22mm Rear, Cusco 24mm - $325 - 140% increase in stability
Air Freight. These weigh over 5kg!
So how much cash do I need to give you for the pair? (and if we can get multiple sets ordered, how much?)
Yes I want a pair of cusco sway bars too! How much $$? Perhaps it will be cheaper ordering two pairs.....
