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 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?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
