Got my car registered today and the Back plate will not fit, about 10mm either side to big. I own a R31 GTS-X. Questions are:

1. can you modify the standard plate to make it fit?

2. Can you get a Sticker/sign writter to make one up with a reflective background.

is it legal to do the above any off the above if not what the hell do you do???:P

Yeah you can try and put a u shaped bracket on both ends, I'm not sure though if it would look good, I've done it to the front of my skyline

The only way I can see I am going to get it to fit without getting in the way off the number plate lights it to cut it in half and slide one half over the top of the other making the letters & numbers closer to each other...... Yep they are slimlines

Ok I have attacked my plate as recomended by Vic Roads & others on here. I rang them this afternoon about this, and there words were bend cut bits off as long as it is afixed to the car. So out came the tin snips and some trimming & bending has accoured...:D

      I know you said no amps in the boot, but there's enough space next to the battery for a pair of modern small foot print amps OR one small 6x channel amp. This is what I did over 6 years ago, used 2x marine amps (no decent 6x or 5x channel amps back then)

      Pressure delta gauge is pure pron. No guessing, no excuses.

      That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.

      There is no impact. Granted, mine is in an R32, so there are a couple of other things going on, but.... my auto ECU came with the auto engine. Bolted it up to the manual gearbag and suddenly the TCU is just spare parts along for the ride. The ECU doesn't (really) care. Nistune is the fixer of all wrongs. I have no ABS CU or traction control. That would be a recipe for fault codes and permalit check engine light. But....just go into the diagnostics pages and turn them off. Presto, ECU no longer cares that it can't talk to those CUs. If you're worried about the TCS light being lit on the dashboard for some rason (that I am not catching right now), then.... remove the globe. No-one needs the TCS anyway. That is what throttle control is for. I certainly don't have it - haven't missed it in 12-13 years or so. Never wanted it.
