hey all,

Just trying to find a front number plate holder that sticks a tiny bit out from the front bar as it screws in from behind my front bar possibly from the sub frame?? so i dont have to screw it into the front bar, ive seen them before but only on cars from japan and bugger all of them too lol. If anyone knows of this let me know cheers :cheers:

i just bought the cusco one but do not really know how to fit them on properly..does anyone have a pic of how they should look like after fitting? i cant seem to find any on the internet but only manage to find the "password" brand type..cheers

Where did you get yours from?

boostin, looking at ya pics, please please tell me that the pic with the plate in the middle is where you have it,

it looks so stupid ot the side, considering there is a space for it,

Here's a bit of useful info for recessed number plate space etc...

To screw on your number plates without having to bend them - use 6mm bolts/fasteners which are standard anyway.

Front:- Bolts only need to be 30mm long with spacers so the plate doesn't rub against the bar

Rear:- Bolts need to be 35mm long with spacers and the plate can remain straight - without rubbing against the rear fog light/reversing light.

Bunnings sells 5x 35mm/6mm fasteners for $2.50

    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
