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

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
