Keen. Price please, ballpark figure.

SLYDIT · Post by **SLYDIT** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 7:39 pm

they are 75 pounds for a set so at the current exchange rate thats $150NZD.

so with a bulk deal i guess youd be in for less than that????
the 949 racing ones are USD$95 so thats $120NZD.

alert motorsport are the nz agent for hel you could try them for a group buy

harlansmart · Post by **harlansmart** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 9:40 pm

Cheers Paul,

That's responsible, and good advice - we will contact them in the 1st instance and when required.

FWIW: I used to have Skylines, and they (on SDU I mean) recently did 2 or even 3 'Group Buys' from HEL in the UK, I understand from reading, listening, and all other accounts that the product is 'HEL adequate'.

What is happening with these?

harlansmart · Post by **harlansmart** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:39 pm

So far the list I think says:

01. harlansmart
02. Born_disturbed
03. SLYDIT
04. warrior
05. r3spct
06. evel
07.
08.
09.
10.

If you want your name removed sing out...

When I think I can do it w/out being left with too many set's I will initially check out Alert Motorsport (on Pauls advice, cheers mate) and failing a successful outcome there I'll speak directly w/ the HEL UK/SDU contact, apparently he was easy to deal with.

I see the delivery coming to me, and me wrapping them up for a couple of hours and sending them off around the country.

8 names sees me ahead organise it, and sell the extra's on TM for profit.

I got screwed on some stuff I had shipped from Ireland(Close Enough) customs slapped me with $300 Import duty and it was a gift from my family

Mr. Shine · Post by **Mr. Shine** » Mon Jun 25, 2012 12:36 pm

What was it, and what was the value?

Customs charges seem to be pretty hit and miss, and you can get lucky or get stung. Not really anything to do with shipping from any one place in particular, though

You will get pinged now all the time on anything of value inc freight to the value of NZ$400.00 as i have found out on my last few items.

And my last one came via DHL & they pinged me a service charge + gst for duty collection!..

Am versed in exporting/importing, anyone who doesn't know me whatever PM me if required - but right now there's not enough confirmation of desire:)

Zadkiel · Post by **Zadkiel** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:22 pm

I'm keen for 1.8's if you getting some of them

harlansmart · Post by **harlansmart** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:33 pm

Nice, there's almost enough desire to make me act, if there are 8 definites on the list I will move but in the meantime I have approached the local agents here in New Zeeland via email:

Anyone wanting removal please whip your name off of the list in a reply cheers.

I could put my name down tentatively, but not a definite, and depending on price.

harlansmart · Post by **harlansmart** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:24 pm

Ok - fact is we will never know price till it comes out of my Visa I divide by ten and finally add the local post is applicable, you see the kits are about $150+/- not counting post etc, if you want to see the discount HEL UK provided SDU see their thread for an indication.

We've a response for the NZ Agent, and I've written back to ask what 'they will do' for us, if they're like HEL UK we will be Thunderbirds as the discount was decent and deep.

This will either be all organized next 10 days or not at all.

Please add to your name which set you want either the 1.6 or 1.8 sets.

Hi Craig,

The lines are different depending on what Miata one has, if you check the thread you'll understand.

Thanks for getting back to me just let me know how deeply you will discount please so I can say 'Yes' or 'No thank you'?

Time waits for no one,,
