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.

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

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
