So i got the rego renewal in the mail today for my Nissan pulsar.

480 dollars for 12 months! thats crazy it's a 1.8 litre engine and i'm paying 480 a year.

South Australia is the most rediculous state i've ever lived in. If i didn't like the place so much i'd leave.

Sure you can say if you don't want to pay leave.

But other states don't pay nearly as much as we do. And i can't really see where all the money goes.

I'm somewhat happy that i don't have my skyline anymore if i would have to pay more that 480.

Even my motorbike is about 480 a year and that think is only a 750.

if you pay 350 for 6 months that is redicolous

hmm i just looked up canberra (vic roads is down at the moment) and the pay even more than we do

0-975 $604.60

976 - 1154 $624.60

1155 - 1504 $652.60

1505 - 2504 $760.60

NSW

up to 975kg $213

976kg to 1154 kg $233

1155kg to 1504kg $262

1505kg to 2504kg $373

the first bit of info is in relation to weight in kilograms.

quit winging, yes the government is screwing us hard and dry, but my 04 triton dual cab 4x4 is high $800 a year.

yet full comp on it is $750 for a $32,000 car.

why is rego more then insurance?

wheres all our rego money going? its sure not being spent on the roads.

if regos to much for you then get a push bike.

Krastler, I'm fairly certain that in NSW the registration doesnt include compulsary third party and they have to get a "green slip" or "pink slip" or something on top of that. SA Rego is for registration and compulsory third party... unless you can shed some other light on this?

I think VIC may pay slightly less, but its economy of scale. You think of all the extra cars they have on their roads, and we have MORE roads to look after. Therefore to be able to drive from here to the borders, we have to cover greater distance per capita for road works. So if you want to drive on dirt tracks like in the 70's we can pay less :dry:

I was going to post this very thing.

Yep, their "rego" seems cheap because they have to pay CTP separately.

our work van (Toyota Hiace) is $950 odd

have 2 of them, one is 2ys old and the other is around 7yrs old

ridiculous!

my stagea just came up as we speak - $658 for 12 months

my bike was over $500 for a .92Litre engine, now thats ridiculous!

Costs are eating up my wage, pretty depressed about the state of today's cost of living.

Health insurance is 3grand a year

Morgage is 11grand a year

Rego for 2 cars, plus insurance on 2 cars and house, is 4grand a year

Food budget is around 10grand a year for a family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids - actually I give the wife $800pm for shopping and her needs)

add in fuel, add in electricity, add in gas, add in phone and internet, and my wage doesnt cover it all.

Need to rely on the Govt. "family allowance" to help get by, and Ive been at my company for 10yrs almost, working fulltime for around 13yrs now........

Pretty sad state of affairs :dry:

just paid $331 for 6months

its dear, but nothing u can do

pay it and forget about it (until the next 1 comes)

>_>

delete the whole thread it was going downhill from post #1

What?

I thought my first post was quite alright. I simply stated that i recieved rego renewal (which i'm sure every skyline owner on here has at some stage) and voiced my opinion that it was an exhobeoant amount to pay.

Next thing i hear is that i should shutup and not complain.

It seems like something that we should complain about given the state of roads in South Australia. And yes i'm aware that hardly any money from car registration is actually spent on roads. Roads are state and federal government funded mostly.

Like tangles said over 900 bucks a year for a work car.

Like tangles said over 900 bucks a year for a work car.

yeah, for a 4cylinder near-new (and one a few yrs older) work van (2 x toyota hiace)... crazy

sorry for my rant at the top of this page.... I just feel we seem to get at each others necks a bit too often here, in the sa section, sometimes.

just want you all to know I have NOTHING against any of you. far from it......

so there ya go. :worship:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
