would I get away with saying $5k for an evo seeing as it is listed as a 2001 lancer?

or do they inspect it now?

(it's been a LOOOOOOONG time since I bought a car with rego)

It's market value or purchase price same as stamp duty on a house

See the government cares not how much over the top you pay but try and undersell and boy are the on you like a tonne of bricks

Stop people rorting the system / not filling state coffers appropriately (in there eyes)

They don't inspect on the spot but they do random audits, if yours gets audited then you get a fine on top of the realistic value at the time. As well as your car being derego'd until you pay it

I just paid mine in accordance with red book. f**k taking the chance man. Came to like $6-700

And it is listed as a lancer evolution 4g63t if its listed as a lancer I'd like to hear from you when a cop pulls you over and knows the difference

It's not just what you tell em. It's what the vin comes up as

yeh, the Vin will be a CT9A number, however when you do a vehicle search this is the only thing that indicates an EVO

I might just have to pay it :/

it's not the money, it's the principal.. i'm fkn SICK of paying fines and fees to live in victoria

Market Value? I thought it was purchase price? When I bought my 33, the seller was like "Do you want me to fudge this value on the vicroads form? Save you some transfer money?"

Purchase price or market value - whichever is higher. So if you sell a car to a relo for $10 you should put market value... Believe vicroads can fine if you put something unreasonable

and on that note:

This is my official resignation from paying attention to speed signs and road rules.

I have tried to follow the law and no matter what I do I keep getting bullshit fines. In the last 10 years I have received two tickets for less than 5km over whilst trying to do the limit, and one for 58 in a 50 that I thought was a 60.

Add this to being pinned for using my mobile phone whilst stuck in a traffic jam not moving, and a red light fine for a light that was clearly orange when i went through and i've had enough.

They fine you one way or the other... I might as well just do whatever I feel like and pay the fines like I would anyway.

Well done Vic Gov / Vic Pol... I am now ofically less safe on the roads than I was before all your bullshit revenue raising.

:rant:

that's what I thought...

I cant beleive you have to pay 4% of the "market value" just to change the name on a second hand car... even for victoria that's bullshit

You can still be creative...if you happened to buy the vehicle with a myriad of problems (but still RW) at the time and fixed them up after transfer of registration, well it's not your fault the market value has gone up since your value-adding repairs were done.

My only concern would be...and I'm not 100% on it...if insurance would kick up a fuss in the event of a claim and refer to your registration stamp duty for a cheaper covered value.

no they wont.

i declared 6k on my 32R.

I definitely didn't put down what I paid for my car lol. Vic Roads only know my car as a 2002 Nissan Coupe. A GT-T is worth about $15k :)

And I know someone who did get caught once. All they made him do was pay the difference. No penalty fee.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
