Hi,

I have just gotten in to skylines so I thought I would join up here as it seems to be the best forum for Skylines in Aus, I have an R33.

I just saw a listing on a popular auction site for the NSW plate "SKYLNE" for sale

Would this be worth much? the seller reckons he was offered up to $15,000 a few years ago but has a low starting price.

What do you guys think it would be worth? is it worth going for?

Thank you in advance.

Andrew.

Hey Andrew, welcome to SAU.

A number plate like that is worth whatever you (or whoever the buyer is) are willing to pay for it. There's no way any of the rest of us can put a value on what we think it's worth.

Just remember that it will STILL cost you close to $500 a year to keep the plates in your name - it's a serious rip-off, but that's what the RTA charges. :happy: Personally, I prefer to spend my money elsewhere.

Personally i wouldnt get personalized plates,,watse of money honestly, besides, your car says "Skyline" on it anyway, why write it again?

Just my opinion, so if u really want it, go for it.

And welcome to SAU.

Thanks GoldZilla and Benzino33

I have always been in 2 minds about personal plates. They may make the car look OK but they are also way for the cops to remember your car...

I think i'm still going to bid on them, even if I just hold them. I did enquire and the RTA charge $400 per year holding fee.

Like it has been stated before, if you think it is worth $15k, then it is worth $15k

Personally I would not buy plates that said "Skyline" for what is probably the same value of the car. I'd find someone to knock a replica plate up and chuck it on for photo shoots and track days for $100 and even then I'd probably go a Japanese style plate :mad:

Besides, as far as number plates go "Skyline" is not very imaginative. I would (and have :happy:) get something that to the majority meant nothing but to a few select people mean something :D

I'll be honest aswell - it makes you look completely dyslexic. dont bother. :down:

Hope i just saved you $15,000.

wow now ill never forget what kind of car i drive AND people will think im extra cool for reminding them because skylines arent that common and people will be like 'hey wot kind of car is that?', and i'll be like - 'read the plate lolololololol'.

I love it when people try to decipher my plate ... have had a few ask me "dude are you a doctor?" I felt like stabbing them with a syringe

what are ur plates?

To OP, plates are worth whatever the buyer is willin to pay for it....(but damn...if ur considering payin 15k for a set of plates....then come to me and ill MAKE a piece of metal with skyline written on it and charge you ONLY 1ooo K hahaha....15k is so not worth it..)

It's even worse than people who put those massive banner stickers on their cars of their model/make.

Like, how many people haven't seen a Commodore before and need to see the word "HOLDEN" covering the top quarter of the windshield to figure out who makes the car?

saw plates TER-10S on, wait for it, a diahatsu terios, whodathunkit?

i think ive seen this car before. I read it and thought WTF

ive got personalised plates but just in the standard context so its much per year

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
