I ordered a set of personalised plates through EZYREG in SA, and when I went in to pick them up, I was asked what vehicle they were going on. When I told her I didn't yet have the car she said "then you can't have the plates". Even though I have paid for them she said the agreement was that they were to go on a car. How come then, the website let me order and pay without putting in any vehicle particulars. Mind you I've kept the personalised plates off my previous car and have not heard a squeak out of the rego dept for 3 months.

By putting in the order in you can at least secure the plate number even if you can't pick them up. On the EZYREG site in SA just leave out the details of the "Old Registration Number"

I'll be making a phone call tomorrow to find out if what I was told was correct. If I knew I couldn't pick them up I wouldn't have wasted my time going there, that's what really ticked me off. At least I got to see them...GTR-333 maroon on white. They looked nice for the short time they were in my sight. I should have grabbed them and done a runner.

As I'm thinking about this I remember there was an option to have these plates delivered to my home address. Maybe if I chose that option, I would now have them in my hot little hands.

EDIT

I just tried a dummy run using my address for delivery and not filling in the existing plate information and it wouldn't let me continue with "our agreement".

you cannot pick up custom plates without handing in old plates of the car you want them on...simple as that! :happy: hope this helps.

I've had the same personalised plates on two diff. cars and all I did each was fill out a form stating the old plate number and what the new one was to be. Each time I kept the original state plates and when I sold the cars I filled out the appropriate paper work and I bolted back the original plates that I had kept at home. After selling the last car a few months ago I kept my personalised plates which are still sitting in my shed. Nobody asked for them to be handed back in. This is in Sth Aus.

The thing in my original post was that I went in to pick up my new plates that EZYreg let me order and pay for. I was just surprised I couldn't have them after making a special trip in to pick them up. Maybe I missed the fine print on their website.

      New to R32 ownership

      By luke gtr · Posted

      Unfortunately,  it feels like it's been on the decline for nearly a decade. Especially as wallet racing became popular with them(biggest wallet can pay off a car that wins). It seems like a different mindset kf ownership these days. But, hopefully people like yourself keep some of the skyline scene alive.

      Realistic Injector/kW Limits on E50 & E85

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A bit of data is always good, beats the Facebook experts with their opinions Although the kWs aren't anywhere near what you are after, it should give you a good indication. I have Bosch 1480cc injectors, often called 1650cc (only when run at 4bar). I run mine at 3bar base so I don't thrash the fuel system. Up top, making 437kW with boost dropping, injector duty is at 69% on E80 (might have had some residual 98RON in there)

      Realistic Injector/kW Limits on E50 & E85

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I have some downtime due to winter, and just wrapped up converting the car over to flex fuel. We don't get E85 at the pump over here in Canada, but I will be running Ignite E90 Race gas. I'll be mixing it with 99-100 RON pump gas and shoot for 50% ethanol content, up to possibly 85% content if there's any noticeable gains. Here's the question. Most I'll ever want to hit is ~600rwkW. I've currently running 1200cc injectors and want to keep them under 90% duty cycle. As per some online injector calculators, I should be good with 1200's well past 600rwkw on E85. As per other calculators, I'll need 1600-2000cc's. The variety is rather amusing.  With you Australians having E85 at the pump, what realistic duty cycles are you seeing in those kW ranges on E50 & E85 on your injectors? Thanks,

      No issues here with my PRP gears in an OEM pump housing. I did confirm all housing clearances were to spec prior though. Cheers.

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By 32.det · Posted

      Thread is a bit old but figured id give my input anyway just incase. Have had lots of water problems in my R32 and was getting sick of wet tools in the boot and water filling up half my taillights. I ended up finding that whenever my car had been repainted they didn't reseal the taillights to the body of the car so water was just flowing straight into the boot, this is amplified by all the water around the bootlid being directed down to the taillights so would get pretty wet whenever I washed the car or it rained. You could probably use silicone to seal them to the body but I think from factory they use a roll of automotive grade butyl rubber. Hopefully this helps you if that ends up being how the water is getting in on your car!
