A couple of days ago i saw a new white porsche (model escapes my mind atm) with the plates '15'...then a couple of cars along, parked on the side of the road, i saw a Audi R8 with the plates '16'. the plates looked pressed outwards (appeared to be popping out, if that makes more sense).

Anyone know how much they would cost? im quite curious.

> 100X the value of your car!

Sometimes seen as an investment or the ultimate in vanity plates.

Very subjective, but get onto the Pickles Website for values of what they sold for at the most recent Prestige Car Auction.

What exactly does "you wish" mean Turk1?

Can be seen in many different ways lol...I once had some random chick come to my house and take photos of my car, posing with it and all claiming it was her car, changed her bebo name to "UW33SH" aswell hahaha, my mate pointed it out to me becuase he was like wtf isnt that your car :D

As for the plate, its a pretty uhmm... "stuck up" style plate if you get what I mean :banana:

my mates brother had 'FARQUE' on his 87 xf falcon about 18-20 years ago. He sold the plates for 15k in about 94'. I did see these at a car show not long after that but cant remember what car they were on. Im sure he wouldnt be allowed to have them now.

About 4 months ago the plates 'IMPORTD' were for sale...for $500 odd

Now, i don't know about you guys but i'd rather pay $10,000 for 'IMPORTD' then $10,000 for 'LEXUAL' (Lexus/Sexual) as seen on ebay and mentioned in above posts.

What i'm really trying to say is that there are some very greedy people out there who would rob you for leave you with a bit of metal and a nice yearly fee to pay to DPI/RTA, don't fall for the trap of "it's unique", because when you think about it...everyone's number plate is unique...durr.

Here is a photo (~2 years ago) of another 'F You' plate, owned by 'The Shark', some of the Gold Coast members might know of him.

Just bought "MY06XT" plates for my 'new' second-hand daily Forester.

Couldn't believe they were still available (as other similar ones were already taken).

Costs $99/year (tax deductible for bus.)

It'll help one day when I sell the XT.

My plates came with the r31 when i bought it.

The front says MYSKY1 but the back is MYSKYI so my old man reckons it stands for My Sky-Line haha

I guess we'll never know!

I got UHU55Y Number plates :laugh: haha

not rocket science to know what that says.

+ Side: random chicks drive past saying U HUSSY ! lol

- Side: Girlfriend slaps me across the head every time it happens LOL

number plates are hell expensive, true story,

in japan some dude owns a plate thats just "8"

cost him $7,000,000 AUD to get it (or around that, definately a few mill)

because in japan everyone believes 8 to be the "lucky number"

generally number plates ( with just 1 on it, or 666 or something) go for anywhere between 10-25k

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
