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:

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
