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 ;)

LOL!

I always wanted to get the number plates STOLEN.

Drive around with those on and watch the attention you get from Police and Public alike...

plates ive owned and the price sold for

HKS32 - $350

IDV82 - $350 ( I Deviate Too )

XXR34 - $400

OIM007 - Current (Im 007) < forsale

OFA79 - Current (FAT) < forsale

FASTCAR - Current < forsale

Personally, I've never bought the really expensive Number Plates for fear of overcapitalisation and waste of money.

That's never stopped me from admiring the good ones though.

Funny how the US ppl call them 'Vanity Plates'

What I did find however, after buying sets for cars I've owned, is that they can actually help to sell a car; particularly to an enthusiast.

3 Cars that we've had, come to mind...

GTR33Z off a R33 GT-R

MYI64Q off one of only 40X Alfa Romeo 164Qs in Oz

N.BM523 off a BMW 523

All 3 new owners admired the plates that came with the cars.

Please, no-one ask, "Yessss, but were the cars any good?" Because the answer is, "Yesssssssssssss they were!!!" ;)

i picked mine up for 200 bucks brand new.. he was asking a thousand.

only GOOD plates are worth money, and its a matter of luck of a person who is willing to spend it coming across you.

Was speaking to a bloke about a week ago.. just bought himself a Porsche Boxter. His wife has a particular number plate that I never seen before on her Mazda 3, said he collects them for all his cars... One for the Porsche he wants was $20,000 or $40,000. Cant remember, but anyway... ridiculous for a number plate!

Saw some Government Holden the number plate was Black with a gold Crown on it and that was it. Was turning into the government house in rosalie

I saw this in Ballarat in Vic about 12 months ago. Anyone know what this plate is for? Wonder what the rego sticker looks like lol.

That would of been the Governor Generals car. The crown representing the Queen.

The Prime Ministers is 'C 1' (Commonwealth One)

Out of nearly all the plates avaliable, i would choose to purchase the 'QLD' Q Plates. Because they were the sets of plates released in 1921 to 1955. From what I have seen they are the ones that are rising in value and are sought after.

For example:

356spd_3288_1024.jpg

'Q21' sold for $97,000, 'Q575' sold for $25,000, 'Q890' sold for $15,000. This was back in 2007 at the official PPQ auctions.

'Q2' and 'Q3' were passed in for $280,000 and $270,000 respectively back in 2005.

'Q1' owner was rumored to have turned down a $1m+ offer on it. He had it on his Porsche for a bit, but now resides on his Bentley.

I have been watching the QLD number plate market for a while now, and am looking/waiting for the right 'Q' plate to pop up. Lowest number possible with the amount i'm willing to pay.

All the ridiculously stupid prices people have on their 'personalised' plates (NVS42 or shit like that) are just that, ridiculously stupid.

And i can't believe there are still people stupid enough to 'buy' NSW plates.

A forum member on here had "OMG" in Vic slimline... about $500 brand new, he sold for $1,000 I think something that he coulda got way more for.... :)

Some plates are absolutely ridiculously priced though, some that aren't even half decent.

Ive had offers of 2k + for my typer number plates when i owned one! only cost me 495 haha

man RTA is a major d0uchebag of an organisation

I pay $130 annual fee for my personalised plates and now they charge $90 annual only for my exact type and style :P

I knew it was a stupid idea to get them and pay an annual fee in the first place, but I splurged on buying my current car so I thought what's a bit extra?

I'm now considering handing them back and going back to standard white slimlines

apart from NVDIS, VL2NV, YBNVS, YPURV4, QUPNCY etc etc etc which are so bad they should be melted down and poured over the owners face, the ones that i cant stand is when people cant get what they want so they put an "X" or "O" on either side, like XBIMRX etc

+1 ^^^ because by the time I've worked it out, I've just about rear-ended them...

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
