Found this. Not sure if you have already seen it but i'm just spreading the love.

Queensland residents draw to the attention of the House the Government's proposal to double the cost of Queensland Drivers Licences to more than $150, making Queensland licences the most expensive in the Nation. These changes, along with hikes in vehicle registration costs, the new State fuel tax, and above CPI increases for tolls make Queensland the most expensive State in Australia to be a motorist.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to oppose this massive increase in Queensland Drivers Licence charges.

Here's the link to the petition.

$150 licence cost NO WAY

Apparently it is open to only Queensland drivers. So Karn you good things and get behind it!

Its all tax deductable. :banana::(:)
If its tax deductable, does it matter?

ALSO, how many years does $150 get you?

I think its only tax deductable if you are a b*stard like Tony and get to deduct all your car expenses (depends on your occupation).

$150 is for 5 years AFAIK.

politicians, they lie, they cheat, they suck, they take your money...

/end lesson in life

Truth.

NSW licence for 5 years is around $151... sucks that QLD is raising the price on everything motor related... that's what happens when state governments get the taste of money and become greedy!

I just renewed mine for 5 years.. perfect timing before moving back to NSW in a few months lol

Anywho, while I'm still an official QLD Resident, petition signed!

this is incorrect as someone pointed out below. we will be on par with some other states. NSW is $151 (as posted earlier), and from what i could find SA is also $150 a year.

the way things are going they will have to rename this state to the whinging state. i'm not going to bother signing because like anything involving the government (any government, not just QLD's), it doesn't matter whether we like it or not they will do what they want. also because i refuse to sign a petition where the person starting it doesn't even do the research to see if what they are saying is correct (saying that qld will be the most expensive when it isn't).

I'm also not signing.. only cause it's $30.00 a year.. not a great deal of money really.. Especially when you look at what our cars cost to run..

And most importantly, if they didn't take it from one source, they'll just get our money through another means..

exactly. that's like how people say that they should get rid of the tax on fuel. well if they did then there's a few hundred million dollars less tax that they would then have to get off us by increasing the tax on something else, so at the end of the day you'd still be paying out just as much in tax.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
