in my old job one of our customers had BP-001 or something along those lines which were his initials

apparently was being offered 10,000+ from a BP bigwig for them at the time :P

I'm gonna register KFC-001 lol

I used to own [sPOOL] on my s15, was surprised it was avaliable at the time but when i tried to sell it; didnt even get an offer so i jst sold them with the car.

another r34 gtr in my area had [GTR-01] which he bought off a torana i think....did they have a gtr model?

I really would love to have the plates [JOHNNY] which i saw on a red c4 corvette 4 years ago but im sure it would fetch a pretty penny.

Hey Johnny, I saw an exact same yellow S15 around Campsie with "KEEPUP" plates. Gold!

Multi-meanings...

1) Follow me!

2) You're too slow

3) I'm the leader

4) You lost yadayada :laugh:

Wonder if 'yellow' cars are owned by ppl with these inspirations!!! (besides NY Taxis)

Hey Tez,

Lolz well not that mate but when i had mine it was more like "look at me, look at me." and "Listen to this, listen to this."

Im definitely not with the NV or SHY croud

buying personalised plates are actually a pretty clever way to lower yr tax...

as long as u can convince the tax man that it relates to yr business then u can claim a pretty handy deduction... lower yr tax and have some pretty cool plates :down:

pretty sure that's how all the big $$$ plates would be bought... the ones that run into the tens of thousands...u'd be absolutely stupid to pay for em out of yr out pocket

A friend had "69" on his Ferrari got offered 400k+ to sell em. I don't believe he sold.

Haven't seem him for a few years wonder if he still has it.

I bought UNR34L about 8 months ago as I was looking at getting an R34.

Almost straight away I had a several offers of around $800-1000.

I didn't take any because a) I thought I could get more, and b) I still wanted them for myself.

Then the economic crisis arrived, and I ended up buying a Supra. Tried to sell them for months at $800, but no one was interested. Finally let them go recently for $600 as I was just stick of hanging onto them.

Plates are tricky things to sell, I thought mine were unique, clever and would easily get $1500 (price I would've let them go at prior to buying the Supra). You have to find the right buyer, and that's hard. Especially in the current climate.

Why is NSW so bad at doing some things. I love the way you guys in Vic have it that you actually own the number plate.

yeah it's grouse down here.. we have hardly any speed cameras / TMU nazis :down:

Personalised HR32NA here in NSW :rofl: Just ordererd it a couple of months before they took the white plates away in NSW, which I think look the nicest.

Pretty self-explanatory meaning for Skyline owners/enthusiasts but doesn't mean shit all to regular drivers (which I like :) )

I had MI11NT (Mint) before, and just handed them back to the RTA when I got the HR32NA ones, but a couple of weeks ago my mate said to me 'you should have sold them', but it never really occured to me because I really didn't think people paid much for number plates. Afterall, it was only personalised.

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).

LOL!

Totally agree.

It's always amusing to see a guy in a BMW with a plate stating the same, when it's quite obvious to even the most ignorant observer.

Why pay good money to communicate a message that the badge on the back of your car already has?

haha, me and the missus were discussing that when in the city over the weekend... we decided we either wanted the plates "NOTCAR" or something like "BIKE" just to confuse those people :angry:

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
