If we call them 'Customised' or 'Personalised' plates here and...

'Vanity' plates in the US,

What do they call these plates in other countries???

If you got nothing else to spend money on, then go ahead.

IMO they are a waste of money, nothing gained except a "nicer" looking number plate.

Number plates just a number plate.

Just realised there are 2 threads.

Here is what I said in the same/other thread.

I think its not a bad idea. It kinda brings the car together in a complete "theme"

And sexual number plates and attempted pick up lines on plates should carry heavy heavy penalties and loss of licence!

$2200 for number plates? I paid $200 for mine!!

In WA, you can get [XX ## WA], so i got [NA 33 WA]. Its an NA (Naturally Asperated) 33 (R33) from WA (Western Australia).

I love them, but I'd prefer something a little more personaly. Like a work or something.

Custom plates give the car a bit of character and atleast people can call the car by the name, i know i refer to all my mates car's by their custom plates. Better then saying, "you know that silver R32 GTR with the 5 spoke wheels...."

So IMO not a waste of money at all, however there are certain circumstances where i think money has been thrown down the drain completely on certain plates.

I'll have paid $2200 for my plates if I kept them for 13.5 years, damn RTA and their annual fees

I got NII-54N which was supposed to just be a phonetic spelling of Nissan, but I had a stranger admiring my car, who happened to speak japanese, point out it also spells the japanese word for big brother

I hadn't realised lol so it was kind of cool, like getting 2 for the price of 1

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.

      I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense

      yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
