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

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.

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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
