Yeah .. Peace ! It's been a long shitty day. 🙂 I wasn't trying to bad mouth Rezlo , I was just using them as a reference because everyone knows of them.

Cool I deal alot with him and have had only good service and advice from him, so had to defend that. 😉

Back to the injectors it might be the same price as side feeds to convert to top feeds

True, it would have cost me R3000 for the injectors from Jo'burg and the link above is for the bigger injectors and all the extras for around R4000. So maybe spend the extra and get better as well as have it look cosmetically more attractive.

Dude

@Andrew. You need to have some respect to your forum members, boet.

You provided inaccurate information about Rez, and when Hentie corrects you, you throw a btich fit of note.

Ok... so everything is calm again... and the topic is back to injectors... so lets stick to it now...

lol.. so im going to say something here because i feel very strongly about it, and i feel it needs to be said for those new or inexperienced.

support your local tuner if you feel like it, i dont know rezlo, have never dealed with him, i have absolutely no opinion to offer regarding his prices or his service, so this is NOT about him.

HOWEVER.. please dont go around pretending that there is no money to be saved by importing yourself, because there simply is. a lot.
dont go misleading people about their choices and options in a free economy.

AGREED....imported my wiseco pistons with shipping,customs duty, vat etc for R3000 cheaper for the item is sold here in SA from a well known supplier, in fact most parts I have imported has been far cheaper. So you have a choice however you have to have a credit card to import. So get a credit card and spend like theres no tomorrow people.....exchange rate is still good now.
For the record I could NOT import an OEM oil pump cheaper than REZLO could supply at that time, so you got to shop around.

Again , I wasn't saying anything against Rezlo , I have bought from him before as well and will probably buy again, I was using them as a reference to point out that these cars are our hobbies and that we allways have to fork out a fortune to maintain or modify them. I have nothing against Rezlo or their business practices , it was just a reference point for the cost of specific said CP pistons !

I am just frustrated at having to battle whenever I want to buy parts and then that there are so many different parts and opinions available. So when I have to rely on the word of someone on Ebay , I get a bit nervous!

just want to show you guys a little caculation and then every one can decide for themselfs: Lets do a little exercise, average price of CP’s on fleabay $550 (they range from $520-590) X7 to get to R, +14% tax+20%duty +MINIMUM $60 shipping and yopu end up with R5686.00 and then the guarantee.

Andrew if want to buy injectors for your sr rather go for 740 or 750 they are about the same price and will just give you that little bit more for the feature.

I was also thinking that if I am going to have to import and wait , then I might as well go with something a bit bigger.

I haven't imported engine components before , but what I have imported , I have never had to pay any duties. I have only paid for the product and the shipping. Obviously if I had to import a couple of boxes of parts then I am sure that I would get nailed.

I do however have family all over the world , and I have been told that if the item is marked as a gift then their aren't any duties. I will find out soon enough whether that is true or not ! 😉

if anything tell them to be honest with the package

sars hold untrue items

like if you have all that set up worth 4k in there and they mark it as a value of 1k and there a clever car guy that knows prices

will stop your order make you show a reciept on the value and if it wrong you will be nailed by import

honesty is the best policy

I agree. I wouldn't ask the guys to mark it as a gift anyway. It is a different story if 1 of my family actually purchased it on my behalf and sent it to me. I was just mentioning that I had been told that if it is marked as a gift that it would be easier. I will just order and take it as it comes !

🙂

I once brought in a order of suspension bushes - order total was worth about R7k, import duty was almost R1k... 20percent duty on suspension components.
