They are about £630 delivered from RHD Japan at the moment and they usually ship quicker than Nengun as well.

Only if you get stung for duty & VAT - I didin\'t, probably cos the invoice was in Japanese :).  Nengun showing £530 shipped for me.

Nengun ship 28 days after receiving payment.

Its all luck mate - if Customs let it past you\'re a lucky boy.  If not, you get a big bill from the courier!  I reckon it got past because the invoice was in Japanese as I say - but who knows.  All my orders from the States I\'ve had to cough up.

you win the random-duty-tax-lottery.

i ordered £200 worth of bits from Nengun and got stung. i guess it depends on how negligent the customs official handling your package is.

there is one in the for sale section with only 3 hrs use with commander and r-magic holder in box and all packaging

Post by: Aubec on June 30, 2009, 08:37:51 PM
Thats a good buy, the holder is worth nearly £70 alone new... I wanted him to split it.

Just make sure you double check it\'s the right model for your year of car, there are three different engine looms on FD\'s depending on the year.
