Default Need Parts Help - in Australia!

No idea where to post this but I'll start here.

I need a vendor who will ship factory parts to me. I had used GMPartshouse in the past but now they inform me they are unable to ship parts to me - in Australia. Why - who knows! Considering there is a free trade agreement between Australia and the USA there is no legal impediment to do this. Not to mention, the parts for a Corvette cannot be ordered from GM Australia.

I have been purchasing parts for cars from the USA over the web for at least 16 years now. In 2016, it should be easy....anyway....and mostly, it is.

Any ideas or suggestions on a vendor who will ship me factory parts - at the moment, I desperately need a passenger side rear lower control arm, rear hub, rear axle nuts (33mm) otherwise my car will not get back on the road ever!

What year is your car?
I have both axles, both hubs, axle nuts, and may have a lower control arm from a 300 mile 2013 C6/Z06.

Try Cultrag Performance. Gene and Patrick used to work for the old GM Parts House but have since opened a new company.

First a little background on us let you know who we are

As you may all know as of October 1st GM Parts House discontinued the affiliation with the dealer in which we were working from. We owned the GMPH domain, however GMPH was just a domain name and financials went through the dealership we were affiliated with.

During the month of October a new company was created, CULTRAG Performance. It is still the same people you’re used to doing business with and comfortable doing business with. We just have a new company name, website and email addresses, etc. The only attrition through the transition was our shipping department which has been completely changed.

We want you to know that every aspect of the business and the way we do business has been carefully examined procedure by procedure and step by step. We have been listening to your requests and concerns and have addressed them in our brand new state of the art website, which is available for your viewing pleasure at www.cultragfactoryparts.com.

I agree. Patrick sent me all the parts i needed when my C5Z06 dropped a valve in Newcastle. Of course, i had a US APO on base at Williamtown which helped in shipping.

Automotive Performance Export, Gilroy, California.
Not a vendor here, but they'll export most any domestic part worldwide from the US

Thanks everyone - very much appreciate the support. It's very hard to own a vette on the other side of the world at times and this forum makes it a whole lot easier!

CTZoom, Mate, I'm in Adelaide, and a lot of guys I know use Connell Chevrolet in LA.
Aaron is your contact name there. You can get him on WEAREGM@aol.com
These guys have many supplying Aussies enthusiasts for a very long time. They know how it all works, offer good shipping rates, and know what customer service is all about.

Thank you for the referral. I believe the OP ordered and the parts are already on the way to him.
