What are the extra costs?

Whats blue slip ?

What's pink slip?

How much is rego?

How much is insurance?

So basically, how much money do you need, to buy your first car, but at you want to save money.

Because I've been looking around, pretty much everywhere, ive looked at my options like imports, dealerships, outa state, private etc.

Does nsw have car yards. Like ssv in vic. For state.

Pic on the newbie if you want??

"yea I ride a push bike"

" I should be looking in the hobby shop for my car"

And whatever you guys say, to insult me. Of I can put it up with bullying at schools, probs could do it here.

Cheers sau !

Hello,

Extra costs when buying a car.

Transfer fees (which will depend on the purchase price of the vehicle, and by state), other maintenance costs which you will need to factor in to the purchase price of the vehicle, example - tyres - etc. If buying from interstate, calculate your costs for airline tickets there and potentially back, and if driving back (fuel, time - etc), or getting it transported (get a quote from CEVA logistics if you go this way).

What is a blue / pink slip.

You do not need to worry about a blue or pink slip if the car is currently registered. They are both checks which are required to get the car ready for registration / reregistered. Upon purchase you will need to obtain the registration papers from the seller, you will receive the green slip (CTP - Certificate of third party personal liability insurance required for registration of a motor vehicle) in the mail within the next week or so.

How much is rego?

Registration cost will differ per vehicle, per state. Speak with the relevant motor autorities if you have questions regarding this. Another suggestion would be to speak with your friends who own cars in your state which own similar vehicles to what you are after, to obtain a rough estimation on cost.

How much is insurance?

Depends on your car, age, driving history, location - etc. Get yourself a quote from justcarinsurance.com.au or similar.

Does nsw have car yards. Like ssv in vic. For state.

Yes they do, however I suggest you do some google searches for feedback on the car yards before you purchase a car from them.

The above answers are just a few quick high level summary answers to your questions. I suggest further research is required before you jump in to purchasing a car and if possible, bring someone with you - potentially a family member or friend who is familar with the process to assist you.

If you are looking for a standard skyline, I do not think you need to go down the 'interstate' or importing' path. There are enough local examples in each state to suit the majority of potential purchasers.

Also, I do not know your current age, however it is important to note that some states have rules which restrict young drivers from driving turbo charged vehicles.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
