Hi. Im registering my car tomorrow and dont know whether to get custom plates or not. I have always liked the idea of them but are they too much of a wank factor or i guess it depends on what you get hey? Does anyone that has custom plates find that they draw too much attention the their car as I dont really want too much attention.

Also please post if you have custom plates and what they say

cheers

Luke

my plates are "RUNVS2" said as "are you envious too?"

its just funny watching people trying to work out what they say, attention wise..........honestly havent noticed, i mean people look at the car already. but havent got any bad attention (knocks on wood) from the plates themelves.

personally i think there cheesy as hell. big wank factor. on a show car ok, as its a nice touch but on the street it screams.

"look at me/my car im cool" =wank factor.

some plate are clever, and work well with 'TUFF' cars

but most people just follow everyone else with abreviated words and numbers.

saw one on an mr2 in a mag 4DHNYZ "for the honeys' haha almost threw up. definetly not someone i would associate myself with. kinda embarassing really.

but some people think its cool and others like myself think its gay. each to their own really.

if you dont want too much attention, i wouldnt get them. save the extra 100 bucks and get something more useful.

I'm quite happy with mine. Attention level hasn't changed at all. At the end of the day, you're driving a Skyline, so if some commo is looking for a race to prove his manhood, he will be there... revving his engine whether you have custom plates or not. Get something clever that you like, not just something just for the sake of having custom plates

personally i dont like them. there are some that are ok, sometimes, on the right car. but all the NV and D (the) and other cheesy shit really do make you look like a wanker.

NISZILA isnt too bad, as its not an abbreviated try hard sentence, and relates to the car. more suited to a gtr though. but then, thats my opinion.

Man wtf? is there something wrong with your shift key?

i personally like personal plates and am getting some of my own soon,

that being said there are a lot of ghey ones out there and you should only get plates that mean something to you.

like was said before, dont just get them for the sake of getting them.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
