Hi,

Can you explain to me how this works, if I used http://jessestreeter.com/

Say I find something on Yahoo that I'm willing to pay 25,000.00 Yen (~$290)

What is the process to get it to my door, and what are the extra cost over the purchase price

maybe create a new thread with the info? i had a look last night on his website too and couldn't find out what their additional charges etc would be.. maybe a comparison against importmonster would also be good

man.. i have to stop looking at this thread.. every single time i see your car it taunts me...

I agree with Kent,

I have always used http://www.importmonster.com.au/yahoo and never had a problem, once you register, it can then estimate all the charges delivered to your door. It's generally pretty accurate, if its slightly out, it will either ask you to pay the extra, or refund into your import monster account if you've overpaid. Pretty quick delivery times too.

4 different sellers so there will be a fair few domestic shipping

costs, bank fees to cover the total order.

if the below looks ok let me know and I can shoot you a bill to cover

the cost of the bids/orders.

Rough costs on that would be something like this…

If shipped by EMS (shipping time 4-6 days)

Rough Total in JPY: ¥134,600

Rough TOTAL in AUD: $1,737 *depending on exchange rate.

For details please see below break down of costs.

Cost of item ¥104,570 <- 9 items

Ship item to me ¥5,000 <-4 sellers

Bank fee to pay seller ¥3,130 <-4 sellers

My commission ¥11,200 <-9 items/4 sellers

Shipping to Aus, NZ or US via EMS assuming 7.0 kg ¥10,700

* (I could be off with the weight but what ever it costs to send Ill

pass on to you)

Rough Total in JPY: ¥134,600

*If you would prefer to use PAYPAL: plus 4% paypal fees ¥139,991

Rough TOTAL in AUD (if paid by Bank Transfer): $1,737

*depending on exchange rate. current rate is 80.8

*NOTE: I get ~3.3 yen lower rate than the posted rate on the day when

I access my Australian account through the International ATM.

* DO NOT MAKE PAYMENT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS JUST A ROUGH

ESTIMATE, PLEASE DONT MAKE PAYMENT UNTIL IVE SENT YOU A PROPER

INVOICE!!.

Kent the photos everyone wants to see is the car with Watanabe's but im worried about wasting 2800 on wheels that dont fit right(16*8.5-6 +16*9.5-19), you can always bring yours over so i can trail fit .

Also im in the middle of building a nice quad garage so i have room for some more projects :paranoid:

Not much been happening, been getting mucked about by a Brake and clutch place.

But i have not like the radiator support being cut out so i have put it back in now.

Hi Mate,

I would but they are absolutely buried at the moment.. if only i had a quad garage!

if i get to dig them out soon i will let you know.. i think i got 16*8 (0 offset) and 16x8.5(-6 offset).. atleast the rears are what your after

i really should get some tyres and throw the wat's on the Z..

I am going to be moving back over your way soon though.. which means more time to work on the car and much more time to come up and see the old girl and the awesome work you've done.. extra incentive to dig the wheels out!
