Im readily aproaching the day whence I get my first car, hopefully a 1993 R33.

In order to get this magnificent first car though, the olds have requested some information, which I shall list as questions below.

1: What is a "Compliance Plate" and how much does it cost to be installed?

2: How much is Registration?

3: How much is a green slip?

4: Insurance - I personally want to get pay-by-the-month insurance, so where is the best place to get insurance, and how much are you paying?

5: How many Litres per 100km?

The car Im looking at can be found by clicking here.

I need to know more specifically, how much all of this would cost? so how about some simple totals? Thanks very much Guys and Girls, this will be a big help!! :) :)

1: What is a "Compliance Plate" and how much does it cost to be installed?

It's a little bit of metal that gets riveted onto the firewall, to say that the car meets Australian safety standards.

RWC supplied, immaculate condition, plus compliance cost.

OK, I'm confused.

One would assume that in order for the car to be roadworthy, that it would already be complianced.

Especially considering the fact that compliance involves structural elements, and things like seatbelts etc.

This being the case, how can the say " RWC supplied, plus compliance cost."

2: How much is Registration?

In Victoria, the amount you pay for registration depends on which area you live in.

The further away from civilisation you live, the cheaper the car is to register.

But expect to pay around $500

4: Insurance - I personally want to get pay-by-the-month insurance, so where is the best place to get insurance, and how much are you paying?

As far as insuring a turbo car while you're on P plates, you might run into a few problems.

It's worth making the effort to call a few insurance companies and talk to them first hand.

(You should seriously consider doing this before you buy the car.:)

Considering its ur first car and from that Ad you posted

that the car is turbo some insurance wont even bother and those that do, insurance will be fairly high.

Plus if the car is in australia i assume it would be complianced already.

Of course registration would be added on to the cost of the car plus stamp duty etc etc

Yeah I thought so Chaos. I found another one, which looks a little better than the first, and Ive asked this seller some questions. heres a picture of it:

ACP-872-28.jpg

Midnight blue, non-turbo (I think), Automatic, GTS-T.

Looks good to me, only problem is its more expensive, Im looking for a skyline, plus insurance, plus all the included costs under 15k's. :blah:

Suncorp do pay-by-the-month...I'm with them. Pay by the month is awesome, I get it automatically taken out of my bank account, and to be honest i hardly even notice it - better than getting a huge bill once a year :(

If you're buying a car already in Australia, you shouldn't need to worry about compliance plates - it should already have them.

Registration depends...it's different in each state so i can't really answer for what the rules are in NSW. I would allow $1000...because as well as rego, you will have to pay stamp duty when you put in in your name.

How many Litres per 100km? Heh...well it's a performance turbo car :D don't expect this to be good. I have nfi what I get...

1: What is a "Compliance Plate" and how much does it cost to be installed?

I think that was answered already, if the car is registered this has already been done

2: How much is Registration?

Same as for any other car in the state, about $350 in NSW for a private use car

3: How much is a green slip?

This can vary a bit depending on car and age, about $500

4: Insurance - I personally want to get pay-by-the-month insurance, so where is the best place to get insurance, and how much are you paying?

Check out this thread for a great insurer that does pay by the month http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=18667

5: How many Litres per 100km?

Terrible :D

Also a top fun car to drive.

There's also been a few threads round re "Should I buy a skyline as a first car" check them out......

Compliance is costing me $3850 + tyres which is pretty good under the new import scheme. This includes a safety certificate that I believe is the QLD equivalent of the green slip.

Rego costs me $700 incl stamp duty for 1 year.

Insurance is going to cost me $1285 going thru a broker but Im 28 with no accidents try these guys anyway http://www.gng.com.au/

    • Also did some work to the shed and a massive clean out of stuff. It's now got a small fab/dirty room and has helped keep shed cleaner. Built some new work benches and re organised things also got a TV out there so good having something playing while working on the cars. Got a pedestal drill and linisher off a mate that need to pick up too.  
    • First thought, have your current injectors flow tested. If they test fine, keep the diagnostics going. It's not the injectors. If the injectors are the issue, find some new or used (cleaned and flow tested) injectors.  While I really love a good excuse to get a modern ECU installed, just needing new injectors probably isn't a good enough reason to do so. 
    • A bit from column A, B and C. Mainly C   Update time, after deciding it was time to tick off a bucket list goal I finished up full time at MSR and have gotten back behind the wheel and making progress on the S15. Goal has been to drive Bathurst at an event and I have had my entry accepted for Challenge Bathurst in November. Since I don't want to go unprepared I need it running to test and get comfortable.  Been chipping away at it and started by stripping inside, getting it all cleaned and sealing some holes up. With stripping inside I removed the whole wiring loom and found a few surprises.......... its pretty butchered and shit branching and I'm not a fan of the haltech fuse boxes so it's all out and trying to come up with a plan to rewire it all either new fuse/relay box or pdm.  I haven't been happy with how I did the intercooler mounting and been wanting to tuck it up under rad support. O e issue with that is headlights will need a decent trim or get replacement covers. Took the time to mount it with some stand off's and new hardware. Stands are some m8 button bolts, washer, aluminium tube and factory radiator top mount rubbers. It's nice and solid also stiffens rad support which still requires some trimming. Bonus of factory rad mounting is used all factory hoses just need to weld a pressure cap to radiator now. Got sensor block and fuel filter mounted. Plan today is to get vac lines all sorted with push in nylon tube and design oil cooler mounting solution.  Been driving BRZ a heap and went out to Morgan Park for time attack and went pretty well for a wet day. https://youtu.be/gAlQgcQpWj4?si=kojOAOjhhX_X3AXR Getting pretty comfortable in it now and want to do a few more bits to it but restraining myself as don't need 2 race cars at the moment.   
    • @sunsetR33 There is obviously a huge culture gap here. There is nothing in place like this in Australia, where if you fit a Mines branded pipe and later replace it with a Jun branded pipe, both pipes are essentially identical - BAM - huge penalties! Where is the Mines pipe?? You can't have a Jun pipe when you said you had a Mines pipe!  Makes no sense to me. Surely makes no sense to anyone else here either.  I'm sure a lot of us would agree that our registration/engineering system is pretty stupid at times, but it's not that stupid.  *** More serious question here. If you replace a factory rubber hose with a silicone hose, is the car illegally on the road now? Does it become legal if you have certification of what brand the silicone hose is? Then would it become illegal again if you replaced that silicone hose with a difference brand of silicone hose? And then would it become legal again if you had certification of the new brand of silicone hose?  I really want to know that answer to that question. 
    • Good you making progress with this rig. Aluminium welding is painful to learn, have you got a pedal as I found it so much easier with one. If that's the AMG I think it is, you would working with Benny?
