what are legal positions for front number plate? after getting my car resprayed i want to mount front number plate on the side but dont know which side?

i already had cops trying to defect me for number plate angle and only 2 screws coz they couldnt find anything else, so i wanna be sure before i drill any holes in freshly sprayed front bar.

i dunno whats legal but i have mine mounted on the left and ive had many cops look at my car and not say anything about it :rofl:

i think its got to be about 100mm off the ground to be legal or something , might have to call regency up mate

passenger side. only reason i chose that side is a lot of cars that come from the factory with offset plates, have em on that side (ie alpha romeo).

dont think they are to fussed on which side they are on. but it would make sense to have them on the drives side though, that way on-coming traffic can see it with ease

OK..

i was pulled up by a cop at a car park on one of kell's cruises,

i had it on the passenger side, right down the bottom of the bar.

she didnt mind it being on the side, or on an angle, but said it had to be ATLEAST 30cm off the ground.

first hand info right there.

I'm not sure about the ruling in SA, but in Vic it must be legible when viewed from a 45-degree angle from either side of the car.

Its about 20 degrees maximum in the official transport SA guidelines but like craig said, they're more concerned about visibility and height - I've never had any issues with my plate, it went thru regency fine with the relocation kit and that has around a 10 degree angle

-D

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
