Trade plates have a red border, not a red slash.

Red slash plates can be issued temporarily from town offices to drive cars that don't have rego. You need to hold a valid licence and local third-party insurance as well as supply some other various bits of paperwork and ID.

Doesnt it depend on which area you live in. In Hokkaido I've used the red slashed plates for temporary driving of unregistered cars but also had jap mates from workshops use them when buying vehicles or picking up wrecks.

Probably because they don't need to use them super regularly. Red border dealer plates can be attached to any vehicle without needing to go and pick up a set from the city office.

Only designated employees of the company can drive on them legally though.

yep, bakadesu may not be as baka as he claims.... red slashed plates are not trade plates/dealer plates as people often think. they are definitely temporary registration. hence why you see them on lots of dodgey drift cars that are 90% track but want to get out into the mountains once in a while, they have little hope of getting even a dodgey shaken so they get temporary rego instead and drive on that. I would say a lot of dealers use them too for their cars hence the misconception that they are dealer/trade plates.

Here you go.

The amount of booze I've drunk in 10 years living in ping pong land one red plate looks the same to me.

I'm glad they arent green otherwise the Japanese would be telling me they are blue like their traffic lights.

Also in reality , the amount of shonkster abuse of driving without shakken is pretty prolific.

Anything from swapping plates to not using any at all to all sorts of dodgey shit.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
