As I float between States with work, I am not sure whether I should register my car in NSW, Vic or QLD.

Is one state better for registration than another. I was shocked to see that in Vic they want me to pay stamp duty on rego, despite my having owned the car OS and having the rego papers to prove it was in my name abroad. Is NSW the same with regards to having to pay stand duty? Qld?

I had the same problems and also questioned the stamp duty on one of my personal imports for QLD and even though i also had proof the vehicle was previously registered in my name they said it was irrelevant as it is new registration and its just a tax i have to pay. this would be the same in all states for stamp duty. I would sugest you just state a price the car was worth to buy or sell in the country you imported it from IE the lower the better = less stamp duty.

Queensland i believe atm has 1 of the most relaxed registration laws in Australia apart from WA, you will need RWC to register it in your name but then you just need to keep paying registration no more RWC unless you sell it.

Bris, the other thing to comsider is that you will have to change your license if you wish to register a car in any other state. I couldn't register the Stagea in QLD with my Vic license, so had to change it. If you have a car registered in another state, you can continue to pay the rego on it, just get the form sent to someone's address that can forward it to you. We did this with Nat's car for almost 2 years, with her rego going to her parents.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
