Whoa, where did you see this? I've seen the ACT Number 1 (also on a Merc) but not the Vic one.

Damn, plates are worth more than the car.

That plate might be worth over a million dollars... http://www.caradvice.com.au/6764/number-pl...orth-1-million/

why? i'm sure he has worked hard for it...

May have. may not have. I'm sure Paris hilton has worked hard to not have to work a day in her life either :thumbsup: That's not the point though. Why spend that much on a licence plate of all things?

Could buy a nice house for that price.

a nice house AND that car.

Dude seriously, I'm sure the owner of that plate spent that much money on that plate because he has lots of money to spend.

If you think he's only worth the amount of the license plate and that car you'd probably be mistaken.

To clarify i was pointing out it seems like a waste of money to me.

I wish i was in that position, because you know that if he/she's spent that much on a number plate, he/she's crossed a lot of things off their 'things to do with my money' list to get down to 'buy an expensive numberplate'.

plus, it's probably the only truly unique thing in the auto industry these days. There always a chance that someone else will pull up next to you in an identical murcielago/reventon/Aston DBS but no-one will EVER pull up next to you with the #1 numberplate.

you know what i mean, the odds of someone with a single digit plate being nearby are astronomical (that being said, i followed "27" down the monash a few weeks back) - if you decide to go for a personalised plate the individuality isn't nessecarily there is "SKYLIN", "SKYLNE", "SKYLN3", "SKYLYNE", "SKILYNE" , "SK1LYNE" and the infinite number of permutations mean you 'individual' plate isn't as individual as you might think. Whereas, single digits, well, there's only nine of them.

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
