    I just like to say what a smart operator this guy was. He wrapped it in gift paper put Happy Birthday on the packing slip and put a value of $20 on it. Customs did even take a second look.:zlove:

    Customs and stuff...

    I just got a box from Coz that was the size of a fridge. I didn't get charged any customs either. Has anyone one here ever been charged customs?

    Cheers,

    With the FTA, the most you can expect to pay

    through customs is 10% (for GST) from the USA.

    I got a letter from customs for my stereo and bits for my car...

    When I imported my car the dealer took the stereo and gauges out and posted them to stop them being stolen.
    Got a letter from customs and had to go in to collect the parcel and show them the doco for the car so I didn't pay Duty/GST...
    Can't remember what the declared value was but not very much....

    300k speedo

    If you don't mind me asking, how much you paid for the cluster? I would like a 300k speedo, but 900 odd bucks for a new nismo one is a little more than i had in mind.

    But then you'll need to change your signature :D

    You should be able to find just the 300km face and then have the speedo recalibrated.

    Everyone who purchased the iDials needed to have that done. Also, someone a while ago was selling the standard style face, white writing on black (300km) for around $80 but he only had a limited amount.

    Nismo Speedo

    Hi All,

    I have the exact same one in my car and must say its a great speedo to have.

    If I get the right $$$ i might consider swapping it with an original 180kph one plus a cash adjustment.

    Cheers Turgs

    I had to pay a governent tax to get my NOS kit released from customs this w

    as because it came from canada. It was around 100 bucks but i wasnt fussed seeing I got it so cheap. Never had to pay tax on anything else though.

    How does a swap plus $250 sound?

    Nismo Speedo

    If anyone is interested i will sell it for $250 plus the change of your old speedo.

    Otherwise I will sell it with the car either way.

    These are a rare item and come with a cost as you will see.
