lol.. no cats is a bit far... like i actually rekon cats are good for the environment yada yada, but some of the b/s laws like p plater curfews etc is stupid... the meaning of 'child' seems to add a year in age every year :P hopefully im not sitting on the line where eahc year im still a child for the rest of my life :(

all australia seems to hav strict rules, xcept for NT but lets face it no one goes there just for a car. NZ seems bout right i think, no import tax AT ALL, evos, skylines, silvias everywhere, no revenue raising. i mite actualy book a holiday ova there for a month at the end of next yr to scope it out.

fark melbourne i am considering moving to QLD soon!

yup.. nice one :P same hopefully .. haha, and when i do u can bet i'll be sending a nice little letter to Mr Bracks when i leave, letting him know my feelings on the whole thing and ****ed up he has made driving in this state..

yup a cat sucks power.. hiflow cat will give u some of it back though.

Actually.. if the government did not collect its target of $427million in traffic revenue, the state government would be in defecit.

Current estimated budget for this year...

a substantial budget operating surplus of $245 million for 2003-04

Look where the increase are:

Motor vehicle taxes ($M)

==============

2002-03.... 2003-04....%inc

Vehicle registration fees 503.0 573.5 14.0%

Stamp duty on vehicle transfers 496.9 517.3 4.1%

Other motor vehicle taxes 100.7 113.3 12.5%

Other taxes, licences and levies 59.0 64.1 8.6%

====

total 9,345.6 9,593.2 2.6%

and of course...

Revenue from fines, which is expected to increase by $101 million (26.5 per cent) in 2003-04, is mainly derived from revenue related to traffic offences. This includes revenue from traffic infringement notices, the operations of the Traffic Camera Office and from payment of penalties imposed by the courts.

Fines revenue is expected to increase due to the next stage of road safety initiatives coming on-line. These initiatives include flash-less, fixed site and point-to-point camera technology that will be installed at identified danger areas. Fines revenue will also increase as a result of the indexation of some fines set by

regulation from 1 July 2003.

and

Police fines:

2002-03 year: $326.6M

2003-04 target: $427.5M (30.9% increase)

So take away the fines, and basically Victoria is not doing too well afterall under Bracks

Its all here... www.budget.vic.gov.au /// tell your friends, get angry, do something about it! :P

Basically the way I see it the Government is illegitamately supporting itself through taking unreasonable measures while pretending to enforce "public safety" when its really only the bottom dollar they care about.

    • 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?
