Flat 4 Japan
vdubin - November 5th, 2014 at 03:05 PM

Hey guys has anyone used Flat 4 japan to buy vw goodies ?
They have a great selection of steering wheels and I'm after one but finding it hard to understand the site for obvious reason .

Do they even post to Australia is there an English version of the site ? Any Help please

Flat 4 website in Ingrish........
https://www.flat4.co.jp/english.html 

I also sometimes use the Japanese home site, then use Google translate so steer me in the right direction.

Buying Flat 4 products is easier (and cheaper) to get via the US, CB Performance or my favourite this last week is CIP1 (CIP have great freight rates, and they're fast)

A third option, which I admittedly haven't used yet, but plan to (so if it is all too hard then please let me know! :lol: ) is to use Jesse Streeter as a freight forwarder and middleman.

I had a bit to do with the Flat 4 guys a long time ago, and even now they have to be the most hard-core VW addicted people on the planet!
Top blokes. :tu:

vintageveedub sell their stuff.

thats where I bought my steering wheel from and it was the same price as from flat4 but minus the shipping cost so it was cheaper in that respect.

Their quality is very good.

Once I clicked on another part of the flat4 page it goes back to Japanese I really like the Ivory Banjo Steering wheel I'm just wanting to work out the full price with postage .

I checked vintageveedub, sites basic I guess its more of a call up to see if they have the item ..

Also looked at the yank sites, one was out of stock other site was just short of $500, I knew it wouldn't be cheap But I'm still keen .

I just picked up the phone and called vintage vee dub the other day for some bits the old skool way.... Too easy!
May have cost a few dollars more but I'd rather talk to a human, way more personal and support an Aussie biz.

my price from vintage was $390 iirc


actually, found the receipt. $330 + gst.

I think the RRP is $399 USD

Dated 2012
