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:

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
