the USA style ones should fit I reckon? anyone know for sure?

Yeah, I had USA rear and USA Slimline front on my R33.

The USA fits really well where a Jap plate has come out of.

I got the slimline on the front so it didn't hang down in front of the intercooler. Still same width as std slim, but no "dot" between letters and numbers, same as USA full size.

YES YES YES.. go the SAU PLATES!!!

i wouldnt mind a japanese stye plate, then it woudlnt be cutting into my front bumper..

don't quote me on this but a mate told me it was "illegal" to trim your number plate to fit, however you could always bend the edges underneath the plate, supposably this isn't

trimming and bending are both defectable!

no they arent :)

Mate works for DOTARS and has trimmed his numberplate, letterbox style. As long as all the numbers and letters are complete, its legit.

Defect station guy once pointed out that my rear number plate was bent (they dont fit on s13s), then said "oh well, guess theres nothing you can do about it" and ignored it.

yes they are!

Just because DOTARS says its OK doesn't mean your not gonna get defected.

This has been explained in numerous threads, Dept Transports rules are not the same as Police rules.

And it doesn't matter how many people at Dept of Transport or where ever say its OK, if Mr Policeman says hes gonna defect you for it, he will, because he's the man with the defect tickets.

Still the ADR rule says visible at 45 degrees from 20 meters.

Yep and that is what I quote and I have a bent plate...

Plus this is what the police use as a test, and have seen it done personally...and I have never been booked, and have had the "boys" look it over... :rofl:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
