All bongo'd and ready for purchases!!!

Much relieved!!!

Mr Ed · 04-01-2010, 10:42 PM

Dont want to be a stick in the mud, but it appears you will go to town on the car.

Have you considered warranty issues cos the minute you drive into a Nissan service department and you have a mechanical issue they will wash your hands and try and deny your claim....

Have you considered waiting a bit and then going down the heavy mods path....

Hey majestik

What were you quoted for your freight cost to Australia by Bongous if you dont mind asking.

I just paid US$374.00 to ship the four Nismo Rims total 120lbs by economy air freight via Fedex. A large number but lower than that was quoted at Bongous ($569) and CEVA Air ($600 odd).

Awesome shopping list!

Make sure you wait till everything has arrived at Bongo and they will consolidate it into one large package/pallet which will work out well. You'll have to pay inport duty at customs but that's unavoidable. Other companies are cheaper for individual items, but for bulk orders like this it'll work in your favour.

You may as well chuck in a set of rims!

Don't bongo do the customs duty crap paper work???

If you're gonna buy a set of wheels you might as well send it to my Bongo addy for bulk shipping.

GTRFAN · 04-04-2010, 03:00 AM

Yeah they take care of all paperwork

boardingnath · 04-04-2010, 05:44 AM

Brilliant list. Congratulations!!

Can't wait to see and hear about them when you get them!

Termac · 04-04-2010, 06:10 AM

Great list in for the photos of the build, how about we call it the CF journal.

Lol I think I will

It'll be awhile though as my car is in 3rd-4th week April and then I'm going to start mods after wearing it in.

I could start the cosmetic stuff though...

I can't wait!!!

Majestik · 04-09-2010, 05:18 PM

Slight update on parts cause when Waqar took me for a drive, i was literally blown away (by the volume, not evan).
I've swapped out my fi HFCs for fi Resonated Hi Flow Cat Pipes (HFCs and resonated test pipes in one).
Tony states that this is their quietest option.
In a few weeks my parts and car will be ready (excluding the cbe and hfc-pipes as it's a 2 month+ wait) and I will start a thread journal.

Majestik · 04-10-2010, 12:29 AM

FYI. The next shipment of true 2010 370Zs lands on 21st April so I won't have my car til the end of the month.
Anyone know exactly where the ship docks?
(Please don't respond with silly answers like at the harbour, at the pier, in evan's a$$...).

evse82 · 04-10-2010, 03:15 AM

You know, that place in Melbourne where the big ships go with all the containers?
