Glennst Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Anyone dealt with this US based parts supplier ? They've quoted me £280 for both banana arms (Nissan oem parts). I can't seem to find a better price elsewhere, is this too good to be true and all that ? http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35/product_info.php?products_id=4618 Any advice appreciated.

ZEUS Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Won't you have to pay import duty, vat etc on that? May end up not being much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 There is one for sale second hand but unused OEM in the for sale section. Just buy the other from Clark Motorsport. This was my intention, although I believe that I have now solved the knocking noise (Crapspeed endlinks) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my intention, although I believe that I have now solved the knocking noise (Crapspeed endlinks) I agree - buy the totally UNUSED, still unopened in Nissan wrapping (NOT 2nd hand!) one that is advertised in the For Sale section... ooops... that's my ad isnt it? - David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I can't seem to find a better price elsewhere, is this too good to be true and all that ? If you look at the US forums, they are one of the top shops for stuff, so no, they aren't dodgy if that's what you were worried about.

Kev T Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I have dealt with Z1 and they are very good but you will have to pay import duty + VAT on everything including postage, so add abour 1/3 to cover costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) £280 delivered will cost another £70ish when it arrives, plus a ridiculous charge from the carrier. Edited June 6, 2015 by KyleR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p34nut Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 i was under the impression that import duty is 20% on new car parts Someone please correct me if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 i was under the impression that import duty is 20% on new car parts Someone please correct me if I'm wrong 4.5% duty usually plus 20% VAT and then usually whatever the courier wants to charge you for the pleasure.
