Hey guys,

I'm pretty sure its not, but is it legal to paint your number plate? The blue/yellow/white plate doesnt suit the whole "Black, white and all shades in between" look that I'm going for with my car. Would I be able to paint all the blue bits on my plate black?

I know custom plates would be better, but I have NO idea what I want on them! And I really like my rare Albany plate, so I want to keep them.

Cheers,

Rhys

i would be 99% sure modifying your number plates in anyway would be illegal. Due to the following facts

1. Their not technically yours, they are property of the government

2. Altering the readabilty of number plates can lead to fine + sticker

3. Another thing for the cop to pick on you for.

I would just go personal number plates... As for keeping your albany plates.. you can just say you lost one of them... and keep it in your room :)

Damn :(

Thanks for the fast replies guys, I appreciate it.

The XX-##-WA plates are ok, but they are a different shape, and they look wierd when put on a Skyline. So looks like I'll have 2 keep my Albany plates til I can think of some custom ones. My idea of [DEF3CTIV] would just be stupid on this car :P

Cheers guys.

Any ideas on custom plates?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
