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

'Vanity' plates in the US,

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

Tez

im only new to the forum....so great start for the first 2 replies guys i feel really welcome.

I just bought plates for about $2200 i got "GTS R33" i love em and think they are great.

What other plates do ppl have in here?

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

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
