how much did your mate pay for his car?

stamp duty in qld is calculated at #.5% of the value, therefore you gotta pay $3.50 every $100 dollars you pay for the car.. WA prob has different rules regarding the stamp duty.. CAUSE THATS THE GOVT FOR YA

Stamp duty applies to most assets that undergo a change of ownership, its a tax taken by the government to fund our country (in theory)

Im not against stamp duty but i think the amounts we pay are ridiculuous, if in fact the stamp duty is higher in WA its probably because less assets are changing hands therefore the premium is higher.

a drug dealer will add cutters and fillers to his drugs to build up its mass after a major drug bust hurts his profits.

btw: its noones business how much u paid for the car hence just put 'skyline coupe' on the transfer form and say u paid 12,000 for it rather than 49

I cant, the invoice and transfer of the car is send from the import company.

If its a case of 3.5 for every 100, that would mean my stamp duty would be about 1700, yet its twice that, so is there any reason why the stamp duty in WA is this ridiculous?

I ran them up and they quoted me 3400, i used the website and it quoted me 3145 or something like that. Just very annoying seen as though my car is now unregistered and sitting in the driveway until i save up the required money (which is going to take a while).

I tried to look up some information, and by the looks of it when you go over the 40k threshold here in WA, things get a bit pricey.

On a $50 000 car the stamp duty in Queensland is $1 000, while in Western Australia the stamp duty is $3 250

Seems they have lowered the thresholds and increased the % here in WA while the other states are much cheaper. That's the government for you.

the difference in price is prolly the gst they illegaly add on to the stamp duty tax

but didnt your importer inform you of all associated costs when you went to seethemabout importing a car ?

also only pay 6 months rego that will make it easier on the hip pocket for a while

i know mine did

My car was 49k so wouldn't fall into that category. Also, while we are on the subject, i want to talk about compliancing. I know pod filters are illegal unless correctly bracketed down and shielded (by ARC box will eliminate this problem).

I also know that if there are no speakers in the rear shelf, you must replace them with replacement speakers or get them properly covered. Is this correct?

Lastly, i have an exhaust with Jasma plates attached and its not too loud, should this be alright?

Hmm, in Vic for compliance they remove the speakers and put little child restraint brackets over where the speaker goes.

did the new labour government tax for luxury cars affect the stamp duty for transfers?? anyone check this?

if anyone wants to know, if you buy a car over 50k in australia you must pay a luxury car tax of 33% over the old 25% during the howard years.

The LCT threshold is actually $57,180 excluding any stamps or rego costs..

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
