EOI- [QLD] Importing Used Engines

[Rhys]

=(

Are you still gonna be the man to put the engines in??

[marcs_sp20]

Im starting to think im not going to have enough $$$ for this now, some unexpected bills just come in this morning

[Rhys]

Gah! Well if you're both bailing then I guess I'm going to as well.. Marc, if you're keen maybe we can get them later on in the year?

[chewyryce]

wahhhh where's the QLD spirit . im still buying one

[Rhys]

Oh are you??

Well in that case, I may as well! just wanted to save on the shipping cause it's gonna cost the same to ship two or three as it is for one.

[marcs_sp20]

Im still in... just!

[Rhys]

Suhweet!

If you need a little bit of assistance, let me know Marc =) I should have a bit left over.

I'm keen of something pops up but I need a halfcut.

So with Jarrod no longer having a mazda and his circumstances changing. Will this still be going ahead?

[marcs_sp20]

Jared still has a mazda, just not a 323 I cant see why not, I mean its myself, Rhys & chewey??

[phildough]

He still has a Mazda and still works for them.
He is just not getting a FS-ZE as he is selling his BA Astina and has purchased a Mazda Bravo B2500 Turbo Diesel as it is a more suitable car for his needs.
He is also willing to help everyone with their engine swaps.

[Clean_Cookie]

hey phil. feel like buying a GTR and stripping it for me. loads on trademe. some even complete and running and will strip off the parts. btw where will you need these location wise? Ill tell you on wednesday if its financially viable.

[phildough]

Ok all boys and girls, I have decided to be nice and open this up to all cars from all states. (Not just Mazdas as Im now getting Nissan parts as well.)
If anyone else needs/wants an engine/parts for their car you have about 10 days to decide!
The engines are going to be shipped here end april/early may.
I can arrange shipping from here to anywhere in Australia.
If you are interested send me a PM and I will give you prices.
I can also arrange for the engine to be directly shipped to you as well which should work out cheaper as your not paying two lots of shipping.
For those interested we have the FS-ZE swap all figured out now.

[Ice88]

sad face

[chewyryce]

you are now getting nissan parts as well? gee i wonder who made you do that... :P

The more the merrier I say, cause it'll mean it'll be cheaper!

*shrugs*

[Clean_Cookie]

The first one marc. Also how's the import duties etc work out Phil with a few engines and I assume a professional wrecker will have to get them packed for you?

[Rhys]

Duties and taxes will be sorted out by my brokers I think it's like 11% duties or something.. I forget these things.
having multiple engines coming into BNE will cost basically the same as just getting one hence why I wasn't going to bother if others weren't gonna get one.

[phildough]

They all have to be steam cleaned before they are packed as well.
Import duties is the only part I haven't been able to figure out.
As each person will be purchasing below the AUD $1000 GST limit they should be exempt from the import duties.
How ever as they are coming in one package there may be a 10% import duty on the total.
How ever if they are bought in as one and each person does their own paper work for customs etc we 'maybe' able to get around the import duty.
Im going to make some calls in the morning, and if anyone who works in importing knows more than I do please feel free to offer advice.

[Rhys]

We'll talk about it tomorrow night I think it'll be easier & cheaper to do it as one shipment as opposed to several but I'll talk to my customs brokers tomorrow and see what they think will be the best option.
