    Talking Unexpected Bonus

    Found this waiting when i got home..

    I was under the impression that i would have to pay duty and GST for these injectors before they would be released, but here they are

    They are labelled car parts, but the value is only 20160 yen (under $400 so exempt)

    So providing some sort of bill doesn't turn up in the mail which i doubt, then iv got a set of 63516's for $679.82 to my door

    Which is almost 1/2 what nzperformance want


    Maybe i will have some extra $$ for a brake upgrade after all?

    sort out the brakes later

    Don't be so sure about the duty.

    I got the cluth from RHD, through FedEx, arrived no problem.
    But then so did a bill for Duty that FedEx paid themselves to release it.
    And it took about 3 weeks to arrive, thought I was clear aswell.

    It will be good to see how the injectors work out, good luck.

    Right.. I'll keep an eye out for that. I know with dad buying in a cover for his mustang he had to pay before they would let it past customs, but im not sure how it works.

    Either way,, what can they do once theyre in my engine bay Plus the docket says they cost bugger all
