XKLABA Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Though I have seen a fair few skylines, mostly R34 4 doors There are heaps of imports here, a lot of stuff we don't get in Aus Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453816-nz-revisited/#findComment-7479201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Donut Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah it's pretty rank we're paying nearly twice the Aussie price for petrol yet we're almost at parity for the dollar. A huge chunk of our price is government taxes though, somewhere over 60% I think.

XKLABA Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 We're at -/+$1.20 atm where most of what I saw there was $1.85, though the best I found was at Whangerei for $1.59 so that's where I filled up on the way back to the airport I did see a nice two tone blue and silver R33 at Kawakawa, a nice yellow R34 4 door on the way to Kerikeri and a white R35 with the plates STIG near Kamo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453816-nz-revisited/#findComment-7482300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black4DR Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Our rego is only like $300 a year though.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453816-nz-revisited/#findComment-7484758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Donut Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I just discovered the stations here are playing silly us for fools. Normally there's about an 8c/litre spread between 91, 95 and 98 octane, but yesterday I filled up at a station advertising what seemed to be cheap fuel (91 was $1.759 vs $1.929 in another town) only to discover there was a 26c/litre gap between 91 and 95, so I paid $2.019 for 95. To say I'm mildly peeved about it would be underselling it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453816-nz-revisited/#findComment-7485733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XKLABA Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 $300 per year for rego, does that include a CTP or just rego, I pay between $240-$280 for regos and $550-$600 for the CTPs Matt, I have had that happen, I went into a Shell and got a tank full of 98 and when I finished filling up I realised there was a $0.45 difference between that and the 92 when it was usually $0.20 so I menioned it to the lady at the register and was told that's right but when I got back to the pump the price blanked out so I sat and waited and what do ha know it changed to $0.20 difference That said I stopped at the Shell near my house and the oppersite happened and 98 was exactly the same price as 92 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453816-nz-revisited/#findComment-7485815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
34GeeTeeTee Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yeah i noticed the fuel pricing when over there a few weeks back, the lady we had driving us was saying you have had a massive decrease recently as it was over the $2 mark? Crazy! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453816-nz-revisited/#findComment-7485830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Donut Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yep 98 reached somewhere around $2.39 from memory. I'm old enough to remember when fuel companies first tried to push 95 over the $1.00 mark but couldn't because their pumps were only designed to go up to 99.9c. I think that was around the early/mid 1990s. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453816-nz-revisited/#findComment-7486413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
