Hello guys, I just got my car back after it had a little accident a while ago, made a few deals with the repairer and he put on a nice 400r front bar for me :)

Was driving away when my dad ( drove me there ) was driving infront pulled over said I didn't even have a front number plate :D never realised haha.. was just drooling over the new front bar..

Anyway.. My old plate never came to the shop because it was on my old front bar which dissapeared somewhere..

I got new plates... The back one is done and simple..

Although here's where I need help.. The Front bar has no holes where it appears the plate would go.. Just the space for it in the middle.. Do most of you guys put it there.. or is there somewhere else you can put it?

Below is my bar.. if you could circle where to put the plate and what method to use I'd be very very grateful :)

Guess I'll go with that.. don't have the tools tho :)

if anyone lives around the Bondi area and wants to come help me out.. ( bring a drill or what ever is needed to put the front plate on ) Pm me

Edit: As a temporary could I just tie the plate to the mesh.. seems strong enough for the light plate to me.. ?

Edited by ignuz
ignuz dont u have a drill you just need to drill two small holes and screw the number plate on using two screws, 5 min job, if you havent got a drill borrow of a neighbour,

i wouldnt let that set you back from driving your car

I didn't :( Tonight I just temporarily screwed it into the mesh

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
