hey guys ive just bought an r32 gts-t 1989 and im getting its all registered and plates ect and for the stamp duty they say they want the market value of the cars but they places they told me i could find it dont have them for skylines do you guys know how much or when i could find some info? i know its $8 out of every $200 of the market value i thought it was the purchase?? thanks in advance!!

Stamp duty is 4% of total purchase. So for example a car you buy for $10,000 you will need to pay $400 stamp duty (in victoria). When I called up a few insurance companies to ask about the "market value" of skylines, I was told that since they are imported the usual "market value" price estimate is not available, but that really doesnt matter, on the registration form you can pretty much write down the purchase price as anything, Im just taking a wild guess but since your car is a 89 R32 GTST (assuming its just imported) you may have paid around $7000 for it? Just right down that price, pay the $280 and bobs ur uncle!

Well in NSW... and taken from NSW RTA website...

"You pay stamp duty on the market value of the vehicle or on the price you paid for the

vehicle, whichever is higher. Stamp duty is 3% of the market value of the car, up to

$45,000 then 5% on the value over $45,000."

So say if the stamp duty is based on $8000 you will pay $240 stamp duty.

Hope that helps.

Just quote the purchase price, if they think its too low, they'll send you a letter. But as the car is moe than 15 years old, they probably wont care.

When i bought my r32 2 years ago for $16.5k, they wrote me a letter saying that was too cheap! Ends up they looked up the aus delivered R32 GTR as its the only skyline on the system. I just wrote them a letter back and it was all fine.

that for the help guys i got her 2day!!! see how it turns out im going to vic roads on wednesday.... the guy i bought it off put 4gz on the receipt hopefully its only about 200 or so. the car cost me 11gz though.

    • Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡
    • Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink 
    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
