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....

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
