well i bought my pfc and commander from takia in japan they were good they only put down the value of £50 so only paid £12 tax when it came over and it worked about for apexi and commander £535 shipped
that is a pretty good price, anychance of a link or if i wanted one could you possibly sort out the purchase for me???
most likely will need it for end of jan when car comes over
Http://www.takakaira.com let me know how u get on
thanks for that. did you email them and tell them to put the value of it lower than it actually is???
alos, how about if i got someone to buy one in japan and post it to me as a parcel? do i still get hit by duty and vat???
I got mine from them, worked out a bit more due to currency changes ! They automatically downgrade the value of the package to try and reduce the tax bill. I got charged 27quid for import and handling. Worked out about 570ish about 6 weeks ago.
Very helpful company, loads of cool stuff.
Wiggy got his from greenline in oz, but not sure if a few people are having fun with them at the min (may be wrong) and it worked out 480.

thanks for that...i will defo do my research and get one sorted.
:D
Any one know what happens if your Power FC goes missing en route as far as insurance reimbursement is concerned what with the goods being marked down in value?
If its insured for a declared value of £50 I presume thats what u will get back - or do Taka take the hit? Worth asking...
a question well worth asking...doubt anyone wants to spend £500 and if parcel gets lost get back £50...
also, i have just read on the greenline site that additional parts are required such as Apexi pressure sensor and harness kit and mass air pressure sensor...can anyone tell me more about these???
what do u acutally get if u buy the power fc and commander? what else is needed??? :confused:
You don\'t NEED anything else. The unit itself should be enough. You can buy additions like boost controller etc.
Well this is what I think.
