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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
