Hey just wondering cause i never bought custom plates before, could you buy a custom plate and reserve it without fitting it onto a car? Also the cost is it just $200 and you pick up your plates or is it a fee for the plates themselves plus the annual $200? cheers

All i know is replacement plates are $35, not 100% sure but the initial $200 should include the plates , yes they can be held onto without installing on car .

$200 upfront cost includes plates.

Would you know if i could just go buy a custom plate and have it reserved until i decide to fit them onto a car? or would i need to exchange it for the current plates i got registered? reason asking cause im driving my parents spare car until i get my own but i kinda want to reserve a plate now so ill have it by the time i get my car before it gets taken or something.

Pretty sure that you need to put your new plates on within a week or so as your plates are attached to your car registration. You will need to surrendder your old plates within a timeframe (2 weeks AFAIK). Also pretty sure that you can't reserve any plates.

^^^ Correct, you cant buy new custom plates unless you can register the car their going on, so in that case you need a car rego for them to change over to the new ones, you cant just go in and buy plates, unless you register a car for them to go on.. and depends on the plate you want, my old IGTR32I ones were $280 a year, new ones are only $200 a year.. think you pay an extra $80 for an extra number/letter (7 all up instead of 6), but not sure on that..

You cant reserve them , payment must be made for yearly contract of $200 ,

payment of custom plates must overlap current registration if they go on a car - "pain in the ass"

At the end of the day they dont need to go on a car at all , you can put them on a wheelie bin , you own the contract

thats wrong actually.. you cant keep them yourself but you can store them at SAreg as long as you have payed the year infronts money on it.. it doesnt have to be registered to a vehicle

its not restricted to customs either.. been through it not long ago

I really don't know if I can justify another $200/yr on my baby. I guess I could go one of the non-yearly fee ones ...

Could get like JRMS-34 or JENS-34 but then people might think I'm 34yo :P .. hmm .. JEN-R34 would be win, but that would be yearly fee. Gheys.

next chance i get ill just pay a few years in advance, then i can regret it like all the money i spend haha

mines good cos it doesnt apply to one car. eg JRM 34 would be a bit strange on a S15.. RIPP3R goes on anything, that if you plan to keep it for a long period ect

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
