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

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
