I'm thinking of getting a white on black background personalised plate for my white 33 gtr but I dont know if the slimline or the standard will look better on the car. Anyone have any recommendation? Or should I go standard on the back and slimline on the front? Cheers

Brandon

Going off this website I assume the slimline ones are called 'prestige'? If so, seems pretty similar to the front plate on premium plates in NSW, if that's the case I reckon it would look great on your car.

I've got slimmer plates on the front of my car and I'd say it wouldn't hinder the airflow to the intercooler as much as a standard plate would (even if the difference is only marginal). I just put some longer bolts and spacers between the bumper and the plate so that I didn't have to bend the number plate...

Ive got the same plates but black on white. They're definatly good looking and make a car stand out;

Maybe you could get "GTR 24U" :P

Had to be quick to snap up those plates eh mate? Good effort!

I think that cos they're both only 5 characters they also just fit the JDM lic plate holder nice and snug right?

Have had them for a while now actually :P

Yeah your thinking is correct, they both fit the rears perfectly, no need for trimming at all

slim line make a big difference imo, well worth it, finding a good combination is harder unless u go prestige. I got Blue on silver, slim front, standard back.

Looks like a perfect fit! What are series is that though? I've got different side indicators comparing to yours. Why is that??

Series 1 or 1.5 (1995) , (series 2 motor), modded front bar though, I removed the middle section (where the plate is now)and filled the cutouts,

Yours is a GTR isn't it Brandon? the front bumper/spoiler, front indicators and side indicators are all completely different to a non-GTR (GTS / GTS-t)

Yea it is. Just that I've never noticed that difference until someone offered me the side indicators for free only to find out they're totally different.

But yea, I'm settling for white on black. Placed the order yesterday. I've also took the carbon blade off for sanding and getting it recoated. The previous bastard who did it just recoated the faded coat without sanding it down... looks like crap and got some massive clear that's cracking from probably birdshit. 1/3 done!!! big job to just sand the bugger down (you'll see white powder when you start and yellow when you're through the top top and finally CARBON!).

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
