How many of you have the standard government issue plates in your state(yellow in NSW). Honestly, i think customised plates make the car look too rice. My ones are IM-32-FK but thats how i bought it....its been like 2 months and i have never got around to changing it :huh:

meh

std black and white slimlines are the way to go in nsw, the yellows are butt fugly

custom plates can be nice if done right, none of those cringeworthy "2nv" or "sxc" no offence intended to anyone here :huh:

or plates for eg. where you go "no sh%t, it's a good thing you got custom plates spelling out "lancer/civic/commo" I just couldn't tell what it was from the badge and generic styling of the car alone"

Not always the case though, I was behind a VY Commodore today that had a big fat 'BT-50' badge in the centre of the boot

I don't mind standard issue plates really...

I do think that 'Premium' plates are more attractive...

or for European cars, 'Euro' plates too.

Without going over the top for personalised plates...

I do find that over the years, a combination of astuteness and opportunity can help you to reap rewards with purchasing personalised plates, when it comes time to sell the car.

My own examples have been...

MYI.64Q which remained on my Alfa Romeo 164Q

GTR.33Z which remained on my R33 GT-R

N.BM.523 which remained on my wife's BMW 523

Each respective purchaser had an emotional attachment to the existing plate.

I currently have...

GTR.34Z on the GT-R

MY.06.XT on the Forester

I'm waiting atm for...

N.BM.xxx for my wife's 5 series BMW but only as a Gov't issue plate. Currently the 'Euro' plates have crept up to N.BK.xxx

so I'm happy to wait until K > L > M

...now I'm expecting a joke about my familiarity with the alphabet lol

hence the generic styling inclusion :thumbsup:

what's even funnier is when they put a chevy badge on, I'm gonna buy a VL and whack on a nissan badge

just not to my taste, it's all personal preference really

maybe because a lot of cars with those type of plates I see are also 'sex spec' or bog standard 4bangers with horribly fitted rims and chop shop cannon :)

I have standard WA issued plates (white BG with blue letters/numbers).

IMO the standard plates looks MUCH nicer than the customized ones, if I were to go the customized route, I'm still just gonna go with the standard look except pick my own letters (they are also cheaper than the other customized plates).

I have 3 sets of gen issue VIC plates...all on my wall from cars ive owned that reg has run out on...VicRoads dont give you any money back for the plates...so hell i keep mine!

On my car, i have custom ones, my mum bought them for me as part of my 21st prezzy, honestly for the price you pay they aint realy worth it but as a gift it was nice.

i have what i call "semi-custom plates" they will mean something to anyone who knows skylines but not to the general public. i think that custom plates are a bit of a giveaway to make people think your a hoon. (not saying it does but i just think thats how the general public perscieve them)

my plates are Vic standard issue and are:

The only RTA-issue plates that seemed to be in any way significant read, "OMC.111" on a a new '87 R31 Silhouette.

Even the guy who bought the car off me was surprised that I was willing to let them go.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
