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:

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
