  1. Spotted a gray R32 gtr plates 32ZLA on Pitt st last about 830ish
  2. To drive an unrego'd car you need to obtain a permit. No registration is no registration. You won't be covered if you hit any car or person. Paying the tow fee or rental fee for a trailer will be cheaper n safer. My understanding of the ,drive to the nearest station for a slip, is for pinks only. It's for cars just out of rego who still have the 3 mouths to get a pink slip. That's when you can shoot up the road to get a pink.
  3. Rego does not stipulate ownership. The bill of sale is. Its the legal binding document between the seller and buyer. Sad thing is not many people bother to write one up.
  4. One of the main reasons ctp's increased for nsw and nsw only was because the state lib gov made sweeping changes to workcover towards the end of last year. One of those changes was to work related car accidents. Workcover no longer covers injury to people(s) anymore. So ctp would have to foot the bill hence the gov having to allow ctp prices to go up.

  6. 75 is quite normal. People that question that in my opinion don't respect the trade or the industry. As you've been through 3 or 4 years of study. Possibly extra training in new diagnostic equipment etc. Kinda the same when people question call out fees. We don't stop what where doing,drive to your place of business or home for free.
  7. A quote from you birds "Better it come from the parts anyway...if the profit is in the labour, where's the incentive to get the job done in a timely manner?" My response " get a guote. That's the incentive. " You can't hardly say no. That's the incentive. As the client you don't have to accept the quote. You shop around if so inclined and get the quote your after.
  8. It's called a quote. That's the incentive.
  9. As a tradesman, I'm shocked to hear some machanics increase their labour rates based on the fact the customer brings there own parts. I know my mechanic doesn't, though being a perforance shop the hourly rate is soild to start with but so is the quality of the workmanship. As an electrician, if we increased our rate based on the fact the client supplied there own light fittings or switch boards they'd just laugh. The hourly rate set should cover the cost of running the business. Op as many have said you'll never receive an itemised bill as all trade based businesses buy wholesale and sell retail. Get a quality mechanic, one that has transparency in it rates.
  10. What's this app called? Doesn't seem to exist.
  11. 4 mouths ago I had rego due on my ute. It increased from 725. ( keep in mind commercials vehicle are slugged higher regardless if its private or business use) to 1024. The cheapest I could find was 1019. When I rang up to clarity all they told me was the government had increased ctp. What they didn't add was "it was at the request of us the insurer's. I haven't had a accident and have spotless 5 yr record yet everything goes up.
  12. 32 gtr's are the same. Factory they run 7.5-30. A car with a new rb would be fine. An old engine with 100000 will have bigger clearances thus requiring a thinker oil.
  13. Yes thats always a problem across the board, Used parts or chinese knock offs. I learnt from my brother you have to be persistent with your panel beater.
  14. Kids these days are slack, Knowing how to change a tyre, come on every car has a manuel. If one cant they shouldnt be driving. Just the other day across the road from the job site I'm on, this young bloke on his P's called road side assistants to change his tyre. He could possibly of had dirtphobia
