I agree... for example, this Mark II Blit would have looked a touch overdone if the owner had added one of those glowing number plates.

for sure, lucky he let his sense of good taste restrain him. :)

mate, having those plates is not only illegal, showing them off is pretty offensive.

As a Japanese resident i find it insulting. If those were my plates and i saw them in the back window of someones ride, id be pissed.

Hehe well unfortunately for readyGO I am 99% sure that numberplate came off a C33 Laurel and not a R33 Skyline. It is still pretty cool though.

I still have the plates from my S14 that was crushed. I am pretty sure legally, LOL, I could be wrong.

To be perfectly honest, I purchased them from an importer who had them advertised on ebay :)

Not sure how he actually got them, but I only paid $70 from them and picked them up from his place..

Just checked his ebay profile (he had a few plates for sale).. Anyway, doesn't look like he's a registered user anymore as of the 15th Jan...

gee...i wonder why...? :)

You know Laurence, If i had to crush a car id sure as hell keep the plates. Screw anyone who thought otherwise,....a little reminder of my dead bebe and all that...but buying someone elses off a dodgy Ebayer?? thats a little different.

To readyGO, you may not have known it at the time but you know now... those plates were supposed to have been surrendered but hey, if your conscience is clean, keep em! :banana:

M3gtr, when you deregister any car you have to surrender the plates so when you go and deregister your car before you get her crushed and don't surrender the plates (you tell them that they were stolen and go and get a police report) you are doing committing the same illegal, pretty offensive act as readyGO has. And as a Japanese resident, I would find that insulting if I hadn't done it myself a couple of times already.

The main reason I think they are from a C33 is that the "vehicle type" number 533 is for a "Passenger Car" whereas an R33 is a "Heavy Passenger Car"

Anyway it is more a matter of trivia than anything.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
