Hi All,

Someone mentioned the change in private plates and what you are allowed to have and I couldn't find anything about this on the dpi website so thought I'd email them..

What I sent...

is it true there will be no more car specs allowed on number plates?

Like engine (RB25DET)or reference to car brands ie FORD or

HSV etc etc????

This is what i got back..

The Department has always restricted the use of words with Makes of

vehicles within the plate number. However from January 2008 the

Department have also restricted the issue of Models of vehicles that do

not have three additional characters with the model characters. The

additional three characters must contain minimum one alpha and number.

Also the additional characters must not be make or model related to a

vehicle

So who can make sense of that?

LOL

I know you are not allowed anything with GTR in it as Nissan has set of copyright restrictions or something like that.

Mike has battled with them over this and its not possible for him to get what he wants.

Mike, shed some further light on this?

Alrighty then.....

Ok from how I've read it:

RB26 would not be ok

RB26 2JZ would be fine

^ what he said

My money is on the fact that the licensing dept has seen what has been happening with the auctions of private plates, and are planning a new release of limited editions to make some moolah.

fkrs :D

Guys,

The reason behind the rule changes, has got to do with IP

and what they believe to be their property.

Nissan and Holden have both filed lawsuits against DPI and in March DPI settled for a sum of close to 2.5Mil

in regards to a claim filed.

NISSAN have claimed IP on:

GTR

35 GTR

GTR 35

R35

Nigel even tried 23 GTR as 23 is Japanese is Ni-San

Fail boat on that one too. DPI was going to take action against Nigel on behalf of NISSAN for the claimed infringement by Nigel.

This has all been worked out now.

But it is only in W.A

As there are already 35 GTR's kicking around with similiar plates as above.

All plates currently out, will not be affected, but new plates will be harder to get through.

Clear as mud

Mike

I've seen [HOLDEN] before though, guy that owned it also owns a Holden dealership I believe.

Edit: Wtf Bart, that's pretty shit.. Wonder what happened to those who already have [GTS ###] plates then....

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
