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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

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

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
