Was looking at this site: http://www.numberplatetrader.com.au/start.htm

Some of the plates are pretty expensive. Note that "GTR 34" is on the NSW for sale list and advertised for $8K. Does anyone know someone that has actually bought or sold Number plates for Big dollars?? Or is it a Gee up??

Got me thinking, how much could I sell mine for?!?

That's to 'rent' them off the RTA every year. So whoever has it, has to pay $7700 to the RTA every 12 months... That is seperate to the amount he paid the previous owner for that right...

yeah NSW sux with their number plate scheme. in qld you buy the number plate and you own it. no yearly fee or anything like that. i paid $365 for my plates and 3 months later the price went up to $395, LOL.

the autobarn here actually had plates that said "mad maz" for say a while back for $2000, which was actually a good price because the cost of buying the prestige plates new was $2200 at the time.

but yes, some people do pay stupid prices for plates. usually the ones that go for the most are ones associated with hotrods

actually there was a vw golf parked out the front of my shop today with the plates SR. seen it round town a few times. honestly if i was paying $2500 or whatever the prestige plates are in qld now, i would be wanting to make full use of the 6 letters and a space available to me

oh i just remembered a thread on here years ago where someone was getting angry because heaps of hotrods have plates using the numbers 32, 33 and 34 and someone had to explain to them that it was because that was the year model of the car, they weren't putting them on because of a trend started by skyline owners

LOL what a jackass. Typical riceboy ignorant of anything but Jap culture!

Good personalised numberplates do indeed sell for large sums of money. Problem is, 90% of numberplates for sale were bought by arrogant toffees from their RTA thinking they could make a penny on being the first one to come up with it. There are some absolute shockers on eBay. Some of the worst I have seen are BL-1942 (Bruce Lee, born 1942) which was asking $5000, and LEXUAL (Lexus and sexual spliced, go figure) for $10,000. I don't see the point to numberplates that state what the car is...unless it's a very unique, not easily identifiable car (or a classic). It's just pointless when you see RED-XR6 on a car that most people with eyeballs can see is a Red XR6.

My grandmother's numberplates "365" sold here in Victoria for an upper range 5 digit figure. They were on an old Mercedes worth 1/5th of that (owned from new though).

I love when you see really ghey plates that some clown has put on their car and paid extra for.... a couple that come to mind that I've seen here in Adelaide are a VN commo with "CALAY" plates and a VX Senator with "SENETOR" plates. ;)

I do occasionally see clever plates that would make the expense worth while

i dont mind personalised plates i actually have a pair [KOUKLO] most likely only greeks know what it means...but bad thing bout personalised plates is that people will always know who you are..so if you get on someones bad side you cant park it just anywhere and leave your car lol.

lol at some of the prices

I'd say mine are decent, be better than some of the ones I've found for WA on there & I wouldn't try selling them for near the prices some people have....

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
