Lol anything for revenue!

I'm not surprised by any of these ridiculous fines anymore.. sadly.

Owning and operating a car in Victoria is turning into a joke.

I wonder if VicRoads actually ever moderates the declared value of people handing in transfer forms.

I know plenty of "friends" who under-value their cars by thousands on those forms, and for good reason, those stamp duty charges are ludicrous!

I didn't really under value the car, I just gave the purchase price to the lady, shipping/compliance wasn't included but meh

I can some-what understand the purpose of it on a new, dealer-purchased car: to channel taxes back from the purchase of a brand new vehicle. But why on used cars, do we have to pay a tax based on a percentage of purchase cost? The sale of used cars does nothing for our GDP, whether it be a $1200 car, or a $120,000 car. The stamp duty should be a fixed charge regardless of the purchase price of the car, and a reasonable amount; not $4,000! I don't understand the purpose of it, especially since we already have to pay out of our ass for registration as it is!

I once did a rego transfer at VicRoads and paid the stamp duty I was supposed to.

LOL, so did I. It was a sad day.

my stamp duty wasn't $4k, totalling with a year of rego was $781, car value was $4266 lol

Yeh I know lol, I was just trying to illustrate that the purchase of a used porsche shouldn't constitute a $4k tax just to change the name of the owner on a computer!

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
