what the hell are u on about? who said anything about cutting my plates to fit on the car????

i think your a bit lost buddy.

im not in any situation wat so ever ive already got plates and they fit fine, what i said was i want new plates because i came up with something better then wat i have atm (at least thats wat i think) and because we cant put spaces between letters i was planning to cut the plate and space it out so it look like 2 words.....i dont know why your gettn upset about it though?

honestly i think ur actn like a lil girl a bit......chill out.

K simple answer for you. It will look shit, cops will see, they will laugh. And you will be at vicroads putting up new plates.

Nick was just using the bending plates thing as an example of modifying your plates.

yeh understandable....... still wouldnt mind giving it a go.....

what about ordering plates from QLD? and using em down here? is that allowed?

i rememebr u can make custom plates from other companies or something....seen em around....anyone heard of them?

You can make custom plates from other companies but they are probably just for show purposes. All plates that are on vehicles must be from Vic Roads.

how does vicroads know if a 3rd party company made the plates?

lets say i bring my plates i have atm to some company and told them to make me a copy.....im sure they could......how would police know the diff?

Well when you put it that way if they can get the exact same font and everything then thats fine, but if they chuck in a space in between letters then it would be noticeable that it isn't real as cops see 100's or plates a day they will be able to tell ''hey why is there a space here''

i mentioned cuttn plates to make spaces.....not to fit onto my car.....

i know that its illegal to modify plates man....shit i said it before.....

  R34NRG said:
i know its illegal but we all know thats totally diff from gettn caught lol.

see right there....i said it.....

tru tru....but wat about that diamond dot thats always in some plates?

im just thinkin out loud here guys lol....

yeh but the way u say that its like u wanted them on ur car

cause where else do u plan to put plates?

if u were gona buy plates for ur windows they go to a place that makes the $20 and they will make them how u like

ur saying to buy vicroads plates and modify them, either way im not gona argue

honesty i was just making sure u know that u cant use modified plates on ur car

to me it makes no difference wether you take my advice or not, your the one thats will be doing what ever you do to ur car

and thats not my problem so thats all im gona say

fair enough buddy, understood

moving along now

just a quick question in regards to plates here in VIC. can u put spaces inbetween letters on plates?

a quick example is if you wanted the plates "hotcar" could u have it presented like "hot car"

heres the link for anyone who wants to have a play.

NO YOU CANNOT PUT SPACES BETWEEN LETTERS..

Mods close thread, question answered...

    • Can't remember the last time I saw a good, healthy battery dropping into the 9s during cranking,  Too many variables to say anything about it with any certainty though.  A float voltage of 12-12.2 is tired AF and given how AGMs handle high C rate and DOD, will just die faster and faster with each cold start.   
    • I find most vehicles dip into the mid to high 9 volt range, even with a good battery. Hitting the low 9s, and especially hitting into the 8s is pretty indicative of a dieing battery. The other part to look at is the battery voltage after the battery has been fully charged. They should be sitting at 12.8V, as lead acids are dieing, they head down low and lower. Often getting as low as 12.0 - 12.2. You'll start seeing this when the engine is cranking over slowly. Interestingly, depending on the vehicle, when batteries get really bad, you can see some REALLY funky things going on. From very low voltages, to higher than 16V too. Something I totally didn't expect! This part of the super low and super high voltages I've been seeing on motorbikes, I need to do some further studies on cars. I suspect cars will act a little bit different though for a couple of reasons.
    • Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.
    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
