Just need a little help.

[oodles]

Im readily aproaching the day whence I get my first car, hopefully a 1993 R33.

In order to get this magnificent first car though, the olds have requested some information, which I shall list as questions below.

1: What is a "Compliance Plate" and how much does it cost to be installed?

2: How much is Registration?

3: How much is a green slip?

4: Insurance - I personally want to get pay-by-the-month insurance, so where is the best place to get insurance, and how much are you paying?

5: How many Litres per 100km?

The car Im looking at can be found by clicking here.

I need to know more specifically, how much all of this would cost? so how about some simple totals? Thanks very much Guys and Girls, this will be a big help!! :)

1: What is a "Compliance Plate" and how much does it cost to be installed?

It's a little bit of metal that gets riveted onto the firewall, to say that the car meets Australian safety standards.

RWC supplied, immaculate condition, plus compliance cost.

OK, I'm confused.

One would assume that in order for the car to be roadworthy, that it would already be complianced.

Especially considering the fact that compliance involves structural elements, and things like seatbelts etc.

This being the case, how can the say " RWC supplied, plus compliance cost."

2: How much is Registration?

In Victoria, the amount you pay for registration depends on which area you live in.

The further away from civilisation you live, the cheaper the car is to register.

But expect to pay around $500

4: Insurance - I personally want to get pay-by-the-month insurance, so where is the best place to get insurance, and how much are you paying?

As far as insuring a turbo car while you're on P plates, you might run into a few problems.

It's worth making the effort to call a few insurance companies and talk to them first hand.

(You should seriously consider doing this before you buy the car.

Thanks very much!

How much is getting the compliance plate though do you think? As a rough estimate?

I will contact the dealers about the RWC and complaincing, and find out whats going on properly.

How much is a green slip though, if I needed to get one?

[chaos]

Considering its ur first car and from that Ad you posted

that the car is turbo some insurance wont even bother and those that do, insurance will be fairly high.

Plus if the car is in australia i assume it would be complianced already.

Of course registration would be added on to the cost of the car plus stamp duty etc etc

Yeah I thought so Chaos. I found another one, which looks a little better than the first, and Ive asked this seller some questions. heres a picture of it:

Midnight blue, non-turbo (I think), Automatic, GTS-T.

The full page can be found here:

Looks good to me, only problem is its more expensive, Im looking for a skyline, plus insurance, plus all the included costs under 15k's. :blah:

[chaos]

sorry mate if its a GTS-T its a turbo

u may mean a GTS

if ur looking to get one under $15k with all on road costs that would be close but keep looking.

You may be better going through a private seller.

and you might as well find a manual one, because in a few months you'll be asking "how much will it cost me to convert the auto to a manual box?"

[chaos]

well he cant really buy a manual if he has an automatic license can he, thats if he has one

[Shell]

Suncorp do pay-by-the-month...I'm with them. Pay by the month is awesome, I get it automatically taken out of my bank account, and to be honest i hardly even notice it - better than getting a huge bill once a year

If you're buying a car already in Australia, you shouldn't need to worry about compliance plates - it should already have them.

Registration depends...it's different in each state so i can't really answer for what the rules are in NSW. I would allow $1000...because as well as rego, you will have to pay stamp duty when you put in in your name.

How many Litres per 100km? Heh...well it's a performance turbo car don't expect this to be good. I have nfi what I get...

oodles, do a search for fuel consumption, big thread in general section about it!!!

1: What is a "Compliance Plate" and how much does it cost to be installed?

I think that was answered already, if the car is registered this has already been done

2: How much is Registration?

Same as for any other car in the state, about $350 in NSW for a private use car

3: How much is a green slip?

This can vary a bit depending on car and age, about $500

4: Insurance - I personally want to get pay-by-the-month insurance, so where is the best place to get insurance, and how much are you paying?

Check out this thread for a great insurer that does pay by the month http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=18667

5: How many Litres per 100km?

Terrible

Also a top fun car to drive.

There's also been a few threads round re "Should I buy a skyline as a first car" check them out......

Compliance is costing me $3850 + tyres which is pretty good under the new import scheme. This includes a safety certificate that I believe is the QLD equivalent of the green slip.

Rego costs me $700 incl stamp duty for 1 year.

Insurance is going to cost me $1285 going thru a broker but Im 28 with no accidents try these guys anyway http://www.gng.com.au/

[memphis]

These cars do not include compliance, so $4k for compliance sounds about right.

so it will be at least $14-$15k
