Was keen to see how other peoples vehicle weights compare as I think I am being stooged on my rego, I have had 3 32's now and I don't ever remember paying this much for rego for it

They think the Tare weight on my 32 GTST with no ABS is 1378kg, I took it down the wharf a little while ago and it said 1280 after a I removed 20KG of sound deadner and some extra insulation from the car. So rego for 6 months is $243.70

The cost of registration in Western Austrlia is calculated on the weight of your vehicle. To put it simply, the more your car weighs, the more you're going to pay.

The most expensive i've seen rego go for is $17,000 for 12months for a mobile crane :cool:

The weight of your vehicle on our records can vary because when each vehicle is weighed it can differ due to but not limited to stereo equiptment, aftermarket parts (some wheels may be heavier etc etc), how much fuel is in your tank at the time and so on.

However in saying that, the difference in the cost of registration between a car that weighs 1300kg to a car that weighs 1500kg is not that much.

Of course there are other factors such as coupe/sedan/4wd/etc, 4/6/8/10/12cylinder, as that all affects the insurance premium and insurance class the govt charges for compulsory 3rd party.

That's the answer to your question, in a nutshell of course :/

I should no, I work for the department :P

So moral of the story is older cars are better in terms of paying less for rego like my dad's old Subaru which weight only ~900kg.

Sweet.

yeah each car is weighed indiviually before registration, but not on a yearly basis LOL.

Each car is weighed when brand new or for a new rego etc.

So the only real way to do it is de-register your car, strip it down to a bar chassis, weigh it, show us the weigh bridge certificate and pay rego on the weight of a bare chassis hahahaha

its dick all difference to pay for 12 months instead of 6 months, just reduces the pain on the pocket at the time.

I was just sure I only payed about 219 on my last 32, but thanks for clearing that syfon

they must of weighed mine with a few japs smuggling over in the boot

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
