$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.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
