$17 on top of normal registraton, isnt that much when you think of it but times it by how many cars are on the road, you have millions. Don’t we pay enough taxes from our hard earned money, &^%#! find the money else where. Not in our pockets. Soon we will all be riding around on scooter or on bikes, cos of all of this cop cap, fines, extra cost on rego's etc. My 2 cents. Cheers Rob

yeah they r MEANT to spend it on the road, but pfft the transport minister couldnt even name 1 project they were gonna use the extra 60 million they will raise with the 17 hike.

It will probably go into bracks's drinking fund then he can say' i was fannnntaassticcc' again. :P

Wouldn't we all love to claim it?

Unfortunately it is only claimable if you have to drive around "for work purposes" eg. call-outs, onsite work, so it doesn't include travel to and from.

If you are lucky enough to claim it, you can claim per km (to include all on-road costs) - I believe the going rate is around 66c per km according to the ATO.

HAhaah move to QLD - we're a lil redneck backwards compared to you guys - haven't evolved as much.

Got picked up for doing 45km over july last year and got $240 fine. Now it's gone up to $500 odd but in NSW i hear it's $1500 and in VIC it's a month's suspension! :-( feel sorry for you guys

Try going 40km over now and see how lucky you are. $700 fine + 6 month licence suspension. :mad:

italians (or most europeans) take a lot less shit that we do before getting angry.. australian's don't stand up for their rights and as a result get constantly screwed over.

rego costs have increased fairly steadily ever since i've started driving.. When i started it was around $320 I think.. now its up around $460. Rego increases are a fact of life unfortunately. The current situation is pretty untenable..with the roads supporting non-road projects (which was never the way it was meant to be) . We have revenue raising thru cameras, government putting the foot up cops asses to pull anybody over for anything, large petrol taxes, freeway systems we have to pay top dollar for each use and still are shithouse, and now increases in rego. Victoria is not a good place to be a driver!

I think its a lot closer to $500 now - this applies to melb only of course, rural areas are cheaper, which sux [to me]. Used to have HCC which takes off the $140 registration, gee i miss that!

I used to claim travelling to and from work when I was dee-jaying, claimed the max each year of 5000kms @ 60 odd cents. gee i miss that too...

Anyone got a time traveller handy :mad:

/end pessimistic rant.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
