Update in first post

Guys,

By end of today, all the items will be posted out, and you will receive it in 3 – 5 days.

Thank you all for your trust and patience. To be honest, it is my first bulk trading experience I spent plenty of time on this group buy, but I am so happy it has been processed such successfully.

I did well, so did you! That’s why the group buy has to be closed much earlier than expected. Even some unexpected situation occurred (PO Box issue, Contact Number issue), we resolved it just in couple of hours! How unbelievable is that?!

For those people miss out the first run, don’t worry, I will do a second round soon! Good news from supplier is that I will be nominated as BeatSonic Australia Sales Representative once this group buy is completed, which means even I don’t need to get more than 20 orders (will be 12), they will provide me the group buy price, yes, I can mark up price, but I won’t do too much, I am just a fan like you, so for the coming round, I will charge couple of dollars more. And for the first group, the cheapest price you got is kind of return of your trusting me.

Anyway, let’s party now!!! And yes, it is Friday!!!!

I think i speak for everyone here in saying that we all have appreciated the opportunity for their products, the time you have spent organizing every single thing with every single person involved, and also thanking you for not running away with our money and allowing us to trust in you, which has now given made it that you are someone we can indeed trust with our money.

So once again, i personally thank you for everything, and if there's any change, you are more than welcome to keep it for your time and effort. :)

FT86_Zero 07-20-2012 10:32 AM

Very appreicated grand trust and support from each of you!!

Thanks Mr Zero!! :-D

FT86_Zero 07-21-2012 12:43 PM

Hey, guys, please see below email from BeatSonic.

Your order have been reached Sydney this morning.
As I estimated, post man will send you the antenna tomorrow.
If nobody receive it, he should leave the message note to ask you contact him for re-send request.

Z86 07-21-2012 08:19 PM

Mine is still showing dispatch from outward office of exchange.
CHUBU INTERNATIONAL Branch on July 20.

Was your next entry something about Sydney arrival? I'm guessing mine is because its coming to Perth - Courier systems are hopeless here.

Tobz 07-21-2012 10:11 PM

Ull need to track it using aus post also. as the tracking switches over when it hits Australia.

I love how Chubu has Mount Fuji located within it, so many 86 references!!!

Ahh thanks.

It was checked in to Melbourne today - guess it wants to see the old coast road before it gets on my car :-)

....another sonic man...BTW, how about the signal?

coyote 07-23-2012 01:30 AM

If only Toyota and Subaru had put FT86_Zero in charge of their pre-orders, things would have gone much smoother.

Z86 07-23-2012 01:33 AM

Install was easy, took less than 5 minutes. I'm over 6 foot so getting it straight was not a problem.

As for the signal - I haven't been out of my garage yet. The radio still works but TBH the signal is slightly reduced - I'm picking up a bit of static on Nova that I didn't before. Tried a couple of other stations - some had no static, one other had a bit. I live in a weak signal area though, so for the most part I'm sure it should be ok.
Will be interesting to see how the GPS is.

Good to know, hopefully there is no effect on GPS... Please keep us updated mate! Thanks!

How's the paint? Is it matched to color of your car, (look all good)

As soon as I pull out of my garage, radio signal is all good - static was gone.

GPS seemed fine for the 5 mins I took running to the shop and back.

The colour is good - its probably not 100% perfect but you will even get slight differences between cars. If you didn't know you would think it was OEM.

FT86_Zero 07-23-2012 02:23 AM

Hi Guys, I just received my ones! I will post some pictures tonight.

But now I am wondering what kind of material is used for those cars innitially have the fin, like the BMW, same material?

FT86_Zero 07-23-2012 03:06 AM

From BeatSonic:

About installation, here are links for your reference.

How to install(Japanese only), sorry we have only this version.

FT86_Zero 07-23-2012 03:14 AM

For those who have receied items, have question mark about the value on the EMS form, but did not come to me.... Thank you. lol

Yes, this is the thing I need to clarify, and I have discussed this with BeatSonic as well. You will see the value on your EMS form is 10 US$. Don't get confused. This is just the value they wrote it as. Just like you go to post a $100 stuff, you may only value it as $10. And from my understand, it will help the items easily import in Australia, and #$%^&(&^%#$%^&^ I believe some of you know this better than me.

I wish if I have made these much of money. But I did not. So, guys, please keep this in mind.

Finally, I don't know if Australia custom will charge on these items or not, and GST applied or not. let's see, then I can finalise the final cost.

Again, guys, thanks for your support.

Tobz 07-23-2012 04:41 AM

FYI - GST and import duty are only charged once the total cost, including postage, is above $1000 AUD per package.

So let beatsonic know he can safely put the actual value of the product on the custom form without issues. Main concern is if we put $10 on future forms, and any get damaged or missing, we cant claim the full cost, we can only claim 10 bucks.

And dont stress im sure none of us thought u were ripping us off, seems to be the way international dealers work

Just got home from work and found a nice shiny white Shark Fin waiting for me. =D
