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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
