Hey guys, sorry if this has been posted somewhere already, but I couldn't find it.

I just thought I would post a link to an E petition against the government's rego increase.

Link

What are your thoughts on what the government is doing to us??

I know that my fuel bill is going to be at least $5 a week more with the extra tax. I already spend around $60-70 a week.

And with the extra rego they want us to fork out, I just don't think it's fair!

Its definitly bloody robbery. I just paid $750 for the rego on my r32....i remember being down in victoria a few years ago and for a year of rego on my r32 i was paying $400.

The queensland goverment are money grabbing idiots who wouldnt have a clue how to spend money wisely or save money for the future. Bunch of tools they are.

As for the fuel price going up by 8cents from the first of july its already gone up 5 cents and i can guarantee that another full 8cents will be wacked on come the first of july also.

I wonder if Anna has considered the domino effect of increased fuel prices... definately gonna cause inflation to go up. More expensive fuel = more exp. transport (public transport price increase, freight increase etc.), groceries/product price will go up as well or just about EVERYTHING. I suppose this is to combat the deflation which will probably happen when economy does pick up as how economist forcast and I think its still too early to predict anything.

PS: I cant stand her.

I looked twice at my rego renewal the other day.....I didn't realise I'd downgraded the engine to a V8...$800 is a rip.

Works out I pay about $8K a year for the pleasure of driving my car, better not tell the wife :D

Fixed it for ya :rofl2:

I'm in the same boat as you Dan but x2 worse. One import and one expensive maintenance euro car does NOT help the situation either :).

i agree its al crap, and i bet the 8 cents will look more like 9-10 at the pump.

on another note, i thought V8's were less than 800 a year? im sure my mum pays about 720 for her stateo

saw that my 6 months was 400 (what came with the car) and i almost fell over

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
