Hi Guys,

thinking of putting my custom plates on the side, but wondering if anyone knows were i can get that number plate bracket so i can sit the front one on and not have to drill into my front bar.

Anyone that has custom plates especially with numbers and letters know you cant get slimline otherwise id just leave it at the front but ive seen you can get a metal bracket just wondering were and if anyone has any pics of theres on the side

cheers

:)

I just used 2 cheapo "L-shape" brackets, purchased from Bunnings. Just drilled new holes into the brackets.

Just a "heads-up", people have been previously defected for side-mounted plates on Skylines; even though you do see other factory released cars with their plates on the side. I never actually was defected for it.

I have it on my right side (from drivers seat) and Alfas have it on their left... but the place that was designed for, drives on the opposite side of the road...

I just screwed mine onto the front bar... works fine... i thought about getting L brackets, but it wasnt necessary and i like how it looks now...

a lot better then up on the dash... i had it like that for a while...

im suprised i have never been pulled over in this car...

PS: al, i LOVE that wing :thumbsup:

you need to be able to read the plate at a 45 degree angle on the left and right side of the car. i know pepple that have been done for this even though there was no other place to put the plate on their front bar.

basically the plate has to be at the very front of the car and facing dead straight. then you'll have no problems. i've seen one dude use a spacer to fix this problem. like the pic below. red is what most ppl have when they move their plate. blue *should* be acceptable

If you are serious, i am actually getting rid of it, as i bought a c/f 3d GT-wing to match my new c/f bonnet. :unsure:

But..........I am keeping the low-mount arms, but will provide the taller arms that came with the c/f wing.

just buy from hardware L shape flat metal brackets

then drill holes on bracket in the right position then

drill them in under the front bar so that

if u want to remove u wont have the drill holes directly on the front bar

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
