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..

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
