HAHAHA ;) ..funny but so true....i got licence made from India...never driven there and only reason i wanted one was just coz and if i go back there to visit my family i rather drive than get driven....I got that made for 100 bucks...money works well there man...LOVE IT!!!!

you dont know the shit i went through to get my licence in singapore mate, f**ken $450 (about 380aud), and that's just the testing.

would like to visit india one day.

Its about $2,500 - $3,500 to get your licence in Germany... So i think what we pay and what others pay is relatively mild. Mind you they dont have to repay every 5 years just to "hold" their licence, or i suppose keep it valid. I think that the fee we pay to renew our licence should go toward some form of retest. Does anyone know what that fee is actually for? - (the renewing of the licence) It cant just be a money making scheme???? Can it?? :(

"Administrative costs", it pays for someone to process your shit. But yes like all businesses it's designed to turn over revenue for the organisation, i.e. state government.

i do agree with this idea...

i havn't read all replies but how about it's not required for all drivers but if you sit the re-test say every 2 years, Vicroads pays the bill for the test and you get cheaper rego?

People who don't sit the test pay higher/the same rego to cover cost of tests.

Good drivers are rewarded, lazy/rich/crap drivers foot the bill

Rich drivers - They are one of the worst offenders (cutting in and out of traffic and forgetting to use their indicators grinds my gears), paying the bill is just an excuse for them to drive worse and think they own the roads.

I think everyone must take a re-test every 3 years. With an eye test and basic reaction test.

Everyone gets 3 chances.

1st time pass - You get a discount on your rego and the test is free. If you fail you get a 2nd chance.

2nd chance - If you pass you stll get a discount on your rego but pay an "admin/re-test fee". If you fail you get a 3rd chance.

3rd chance - Go to any registered driving school and learn until you are deemed competent and re-test. You pay full rego and another "admin/re-test fee".

If you keep failing repeat "3rd chance" until you are competent. Then drive around with P plates for 1 year.

+1

Some older drivers are VERY dangerous. I've seen some going 30km/h in an 80 zone, swerving across the lanes, cutting people off and completely oblivious to it all!

funny I've seen some young drivers doing EXACTLY the same thing :-D

I know some 60+ drivers that sheet all over most others.

    • Seems to be the case mate , still an OK price for a grey import.
    • I’m interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they’re still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
