100 a pair

40 each

scroll down nd find it :D

Paying $100 for something like that and in that condition is ridiculous. I hope SAUers are wiser than that.

How many of you guys are interested in these plates anyway??

So yeah, just get [Michael] or err me to buy it for you. I am pretty sure that nobody else that buys from Yahoo is worth dealing with :D well maybe sewid or Beer Baron or Blitz ummm, ah whatever, just ask anyone. Especially sponsors. :)

I just got my plates!! Freaking hard to get custom ones here in Jp. Basicly you get the usual plates. If you want a special number, you pay a small premium but the hard thing is its a lucky draw or need to know someone. I applied for a single digit plate which as you can imagine is so difficult to get because there isnt alot left. Today got the call from the dealer and he got me my plates! :)

For those who are interested, the plates here actually explain a number of things about the vehicle.

In Tokyo, the plates to have are Shinagawa (品川) Any other plates dont cut it. Cars registered with these plates are regarded as educated or richer residents in the Tokyo area. Adachi (足立) plates are looked down upon. If you look at the two plates below, you can guess who is in the better area and one got lucky with the - - 35 number. Most luxury or connected people have plates with 8 on them only. If you see any black Mercs that have 8 on them, try not to piss off the driver :(

Anyway, just wanted to share that with you guys. Now when you see a car in JP, you can know alittle more about the owner.

yeah you can order them like that. personally I think they are a bit camp. maybe ok on your toyota estima, or your nissan homy but on your GTR? no thanks.

edit: they work because the numbers are transparent green and there is just some simple light behind it that shines through.

yeah they seem pretty popular on trucks, vans, hatches etc, but anyone silly enough to put them on anything decent I'm sure would be laughed out of just about any place they step into. hey if I drove a rasheen or something I might get a set.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
