ONLY 8 MILLION????

i'd like to see some of that 8 million spent on the sh*t quality of roads... or more public transport... rather than their fat super accounts.

and what aobut the second year... it'll probably be another 5-6 million.

i think the $17 increase in rego iz going to roads and stuff...or so they claim

u know whats funny.. we r paying for insurance 2 times..

one with our insurance company and one with rego.. part of rego is a 3rd part insurance to damaged public goods eg. just incase u hit a pole and it knocks down a house.. ur covered for it...

maybe they should roll al this up with our insuarnce companys... if im not mistaken.. doesnt our insuarnce company allready cover that tho?? so we r paying 2 insurances....

As you say guys, its all revenue with this 5k thing. Is the road toll down no, why because its not the people who do the 5ks over that hit people, it is the dick wads that are not watching, paying attention to the road, which is more prevalent now because every one is looking at their bleedin speedo not the road & surroundings like they should be, and this new law has made it worse. How many people have come across people doing 50 in 60 zone you then see people do stupid things trying to pass this poor sod who is looking every where for speed signs not the road. so pollies kiss my:shake:

This is not a paid political statement :P

:werd: r31Heaven..

Actually there was a massive shortfall between even the massive amount we pay on on Rego for TAC and the actual costs they incurred in treating road injuries so something gotta give.. thing is you can still do 120km/hr in a 100 zone quite happily in the country and that to me is where i hear most of the fatal accidents are.. except for those dickheads hooning around in the city with 4 mates in the car, trying to show off, etc... most of the time commonwhores and falcons anyway. Its not casual speeding that is the killer, that just gets the money.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
