It sounds like a pain in ass to register a car in NSW...

In the ACT we just pay one lump sum every year that includes rego and CTP and we dont have compulsary inspections either, once the car has passed its first inspection as long as you dont get defected and you dont let the rego run out for more than 12 months you dont ever have to have it inspected again.

I guess we have a pretty good deal going down here :)

and if we get personalised plates, we pay once and get them forever, no paying stupid fees each year!

I bought my car on about the 16th of december, you try pay for presents and save enough to drink when you have to pay $1500 rego and $3000 insurance.

What a rip! Damn car!!

$1500 rego? $3000 insurance?

Im new to this club and i bought my car last december 08 paid

$500 for my rego for 2010

$650 CTP greenslip

$2050 for Full Insurance

for me its $275 rego fee, vehicle tax.

CTP greenslip $336 (join sau NSW club and see how i saved $300 on my green slip, only costs about $60 to join so its well worth joining just for that info)

Comprehensive insurance with just car @ $1800 a year, car is insured for $17k (thats what they valued it at so i'm not complaining), mildly modified. R33 gts-t series 2.

cant see why you guys are paying so much, ask questions, dont just accept the first number they give you.

hope this helps...

and all this is in my name, im 22 years old, still on green p's for a few months, no accidents though.

That sounds promising.

Also,I did like you said,and asked an insurer some questions about agreed value + modifications.

Now they said that my mods will be covered provided their legal.

Does that mean they have to be engineered to be deemed legal? like exhaust and suspension...

My r33 gtst is the first car i bought myself. My problem is christmass and new years are expensive times. I shouldnt have bought a car on the 14th of january 2008. because on the 14th of january 2009 insurance, pink, green slip, rego all has to be paid right after the hollidays lol.

just some advice to somebody who is wanting to buy a car at this time of year, DONT!!!

Ha how do you think i feel my rego ran out on the 23 of december. Word to the wise dont buy are car when if rego ends in december.

You could leave enough money aside to cover insurance, CTP, rego and a potential excess all year around...

Just saying :(

You guys obviously fail at budgetting hey?

Put a bit of money aside each week and it pays for itself... Plus you get interest on it.

I hear an echo :)

when you study full time, work full time, you wanna party full time and go on $15000 european adventures..... things get alittle tight sometimes, how else could i save $15k in the first place without budgeting lol.... you only live once.

nah we arn't complaining or failing at budgetting (generally speaking) just the bank account really drops bad after the festive season and then other expenses like rego, insurance...ect.... are due at same time

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
