Can you guys give me a brief outline on how rego works in Vic and the costs?

I'm looking at relocating from Sydney to Melbourne and want to get idea....

On a sideline can you guys recommend a good suburb close to the city but easily accessible to Blackburn that would be good to rent in. That is a low theft area :)

Thanks!

Rego is about $448 from memory, and you'll need to supply a Roadworthy Certificate to get registration, I dont know if there are any clause's in relation to comming from interstate.

Have a look on the vicroads website, might have some info - http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au

with property, anywhere is cheaper and safer than sydney :)

inark, get a street directory - Dingley is almost the other side of the world :D

You want suburbs like Burwood, Box Hill, Blackburn, Nunawading, Mitcham. Maybe Mt Waverley and Glen Waverley. They're all going to be similar rentals, I think. Not sure on theft risks though (is there such a suburb as a 'low theft risk'?)

I just got the renewal papers for my R30 - $478 if I recall :eek:, well its more than last year, and I think its all in TAC fee (no such thing as NCB there).

Thanks for the tips guys.

One last Q on the rego. What does the $478 consist of? In NSW we have to get a pink slip (it's like a road worthy check), green slip (compulsory injury insurance type of thingy) and then rego itself.

Costs are like $25 for the pink slip, $250 - $300 for the green slip (my age anyway...) and then about $200 for the actual rego.

Thanks!

ok,

vic rego can be from 400-480 depending on where you live. Country areas will have lower rego costs.

Vic rego includes CTP so you dont need to worry with that. As others said, all you need is a roadworthy, then head to your local vic roads office and they will take your old plates and give you new.

in regards to suburbs, I found living in south melbourne really good. 1.8km to the city so I could walk to work in the morning, right near city link, close to good food in st kilda, south yarra...

but then its not too cheap there. Also, I used to worry about my car leaving it on the street at night. I think your best bet would be to get something with a lock up garage. My mate who lives in a quite toorak street left his *cough* honda civic *cough* out in the street one night. Came out in the morning and it had been keyed along with every other car in the street.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
