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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
