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.

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:

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
