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.

    • Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold? 
    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
