didn't they just add another $70 to registration???

now they want to go and add $50 for inspections???!!! F'kin stupid!

thats and extra $130 added to rego this year alone!

if it keeps going up like this im going to have to start dealing drugs and pimping schoolgirls to be able to keep my car on the road.

I see it as a budget gone wrong for them and they need more money so they put up prices and add in you laws to make that bit extra money for the community. But who sees the money?

If the gov cut back on tax's etc and allowed the common Australian to have a few $ in the bank I reckon that would have a greater impact on the economy by cutting down on crime, higher employment due to people being able to buy item's, health also were people might even be able to have priv health cov.

Way of life would be better and happier. But they need money for $120 toilet paper and car's and trip's and other bull shit.

If there was a person running for parliment who was to give back to the community what is expected I vote for that person. Anyone up for it?

I would vote for anyone that ran under the premise of cleaning up the system.

Unfortunately, it never works out like that. Eventually they all end up forgetting why they are there and become self serving.

how hard is it to find some lame excuse for spending someone elses money? Not very.

U guys are funny :)

PH was a racist selfish pig in politic. I got no idea wat you are on about here :)

BTW My blood boiled since when I was robbed of 10kph on the street where I had no right to vote for it at all :D

The excuses given were full of BS with lack of any evidence to fool the general public. The only ways to reduce mortality/morbidity/car accident are to reduce tax on car and car accessories and better maintenance of the road. This will

1. allows more safer cars on the road

2. reduce braking distance

3. safer roads

Damn cvnning government.

Now, who want to vote for me?

Only j/k :)

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
