Ummm, no they wont or else they would have to unwrap EVERYTHING in the crate( they dont). 8 crates total. They put blankets & cardboard around everything & mark it with a big black marker to see if it was opened. I took pics of everything & video. Everything came off as it was put on.( I took video because we shipped over $70K in furniture)
They label it as car tools or something like that. I'll try & find my old packing slip & see what it says but this was 5 years ago.
Things may have changed between now & then.

 

THings have totally changed, Customs is a biatch now after 9/11

 

Ummm, YES they do! They inspect BEFORE the items go in the crates. You are NOT allowed to wrap BEFORE TMO comes to pack you out.

 

LOL...yeah ok for sake of arguement you are completely 100% right.


Just for the record...
You are allowed to wrap them. They just anotate it that it was wrapped before hand & there for isnt covered for damage. But then again i'm wrong because you should know. I have only had to do it 3 times. With first hand experience.
You are a cilivan DoD employee. For all we know you can work, in the chowhall with the JN's.
But like I said. The last time I moved from overseas before getting out of the military was 5 years ago.


Thank you , drive through.

Sorry for jacking this thread.

 

hey,

calm down guys, its not THAT important. Anywyas, you guys are speaking japanese to me, TMO? JN? Anyways, what if the fluids were drained? i guess they would still be a ***** about it.

thanks
nate

 

TMO = Traffic Manage Office (kinda like a gov't owned shipping company)
JN = Japanese National (or more simply, a local)

 

you can find ENGINES I know for as low as 300 bucks.. but also go as high as 2000 depending on year and whats with it. Japan is not dumb to all this import export stuff.. there are TONS of parts exporters in tokyo area that scoop up going rate parts. All junk yards that I have been to in japan so far.. , in kyushu south island of japan, has not really had squat.. things disappear fast.. but heard that in tokyo it is not as bad. as far as shipping not shipping.. ect.. I have NO idea. Just dont be totally surprised with what you find.. sometimes you get really good deals other times.. you just pay out your ***. good luck with your search.. Tokyo like i said maybe a totally different game

 

i know this is a bad idea to ask this, but what is the problem with that place? ive seen all the threads about arguments going on and on. i just want to know what the initial beef that started all this was. hopefully it doesnt get nasty, i just want to know what happened.

 

wow i'm learning new things!!

Poweredby007 - where are u in Japan? anywhere near Yokuska?

also, i guess it comes down to this, will the Navy ship the motor and clip? if not motor, will they send the clip, since it is not have any motor parts or anything?

I really want the rb25, but if its gonna cost me more than $500 to get it over here through the navy, forget it.

You guys have shed a lot of light on this, it has helped soo much

Night didnt ship his front clips to about 8 people, so evryone started to get angry and night after a few months refunded or sent the clips to the people. Ever since then every one is a little iffy on him.

 

The guy has been banned from about a half dozen or more forums for posting bogus crap. He claims to have true JDM STREET LEGAL S14s for sale. He is a pant load.

 

Well, i finally found out where my sister is living, she is in Yokohama. Soo if anyone lives near, or knows of junkyards for parts, that would be great.

Also, couldnt yu just split up the parts from a clip, well actually it wouldnt be a clip, just the hood, fenders, headlights, bumper, wiring, and brackets?

man.. im getting sooooo anxiuos i want to go and see the stuff but I cant..

nate

 

Just for the record...
I have done it several times RECENTLY!! You ARE allowed to wrap them IN THE PRESENCE of the customs agent.
I see no reason for you to be an ***. I am only pointing out the way it is TODAY...as opposed to a half decade ago.

Thank you , drive through? You want fries with that?

 

Let's not take this flaming any further guys, thanks.

 

they deal in late model items, i am not sure the names of the yards, but from what i have gathered many of them are not like the US pick and pull, everything is categorized and ready to go.

As far as what was what 5 years ago forget anything you know. Even now shipping electronics many times our shipments are inspected and repacked. There has been damaged items due to this.
