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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
