Hi guys, picked up my V Spec R34 GTR yesterday. The front and rear number plates are bent at the edges as they obviously are wider than those used in Japan and dont fit straight in flush.

I have ordered new plates from the RTA. Will I have to bend those also, or is there a way to fit tem without having to bend them?

Can I use spacers or something?

Thanks

id go rubber spacers if you dont want to bend them.

isnt there some rule that you cant modify plates as they are still gov property or something like that. im sure i heard a story of someone getting done because they chopped the ends off instead of bending them. i think they turn a blind eye to bending them....maybe.

In NSW I think you can get the 'Slim Line' ones which are not so long and would fit nicely..?

But if not just bend the edges and bolt the plates on.

No such luck,their just skinnier.

I know your not allowed to,but i did cut mine,never had an issue,but the car is hardly driven.

Well looks like bending or cutting them is the way to go.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
