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..

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
