$17 on top of normal registraton, isnt that much when you think of it but times it by how many cars are on the road, you have millions. Don’t we pay enough taxes from our hard earned money, &^%#! find the money else where. Not in our pockets. Soon we will all be riding around on scooter or on bikes, cos of all of this cop cap, fines, extra cost on rego's etc. My 2 cents. Cheers Rob

yeah they r MEANT to spend it on the road, but pfft the transport minister couldnt even name 1 project they were gonna use the extra 60 million they will raise with the 17 hike.

It will probably go into bracks's drinking fund then he can say' i was fannnntaassticcc' again. :P

Wouldn't we all love to claim it?

Unfortunately it is only claimable if you have to drive around "for work purposes" eg. call-outs, onsite work, so it doesn't include travel to and from.

If you are lucky enough to claim it, you can claim per km (to include all on-road costs) - I believe the going rate is around 66c per km according to the ATO.

HAhaah move to QLD - we're a lil redneck backwards compared to you guys - haven't evolved as much.

Got picked up for doing 45km over july last year and got $240 fine. Now it's gone up to $500 odd but in NSW i hear it's $1500 and in VIC it's a month's suspension! :-( feel sorry for you guys

Try going 40km over now and see how lucky you are. $700 fine + 6 month licence suspension. :mad:

italians (or most europeans) take a lot less shit that we do before getting angry.. australian's don't stand up for their rights and as a result get constantly screwed over.

rego costs have increased fairly steadily ever since i've started driving.. When i started it was around $320 I think.. now its up around $460. Rego increases are a fact of life unfortunately. The current situation is pretty untenable..with the roads supporting non-road projects (which was never the way it was meant to be) . We have revenue raising thru cameras, government putting the foot up cops asses to pull anybody over for anything, large petrol taxes, freeway systems we have to pay top dollar for each use and still are shithouse, and now increases in rego. Victoria is not a good place to be a driver!

I think its a lot closer to $500 now - this applies to melb only of course, rural areas are cheaper, which sux [to me]. Used to have HCC which takes off the $140 registration, gee i miss that!

I used to claim travelling to and from work when I was dee-jaying, claimed the max each year of 5000kms @ 60 odd cents. gee i miss that too...

Anyone got a time traveller handy :mad:

/end pessimistic rant.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
