Nah I haven't crashed, just offering a subjective opinion on custom number plates - if you're thinking of getting one, DON'T!! :D

Last night at work this regular rice-boy rocks up and starts asking me if I've ever seen and dragged a red GSR before. He asked coz he's looking at trading in his cosmetic performance for something a bit more tangible, and looked at this GSR for sale (thus where he heard the story)

So anyway I said "noooope" coz I haven't ever dragged any, and he goes "oh, I asked this guy about the performance of it, and he streamed off a few cars he's successfully dragged and one of them was a dark silvia, license plate PSIKO" ..................... :hellpisse

I was thinking to myself before I got the plates that this might happen, and lo and behold it has. Makes me wonder how many other hot sh*t Tom Cruise mofos are out there saying the same stuff bout whosever cars

Just interested to see if anyone else has ever heard similar stuff referring to their cars..?

Needless to say I will be out all this weekend, weather permitting, hunting down red gsr's

bitch

nah i never considered personalised number plates, i dont think its a good thing to be remembered on the road... also attracts unneccessary attention. or if someone sees you drive past with the stereo loud for whatever reason they can remember the numberplate, tell their dodgey mates and theyll kindly steal your stereo... (happened to a mate of mine) so yeh i dont think theyre a good idea

Yes I agree with Adam 32 once my car arrives, I will not be putting on private plates, it's too easy to remember for both the criminally minded and the police, you'll never know if you are going a little to fast past an off duty police office who notes down you plate and picks you up at a later date!

Well I don't mind about that, as they can only bust you at the time of doing it :(

yeah they may have a crapper attitude to you when they next pull you over, but if you have a bodykit and all this other stuff your car will stand out anyway and they are pretty wary of car models etc (Jimih was talking to a policewoman after she pulled him over and she happened to say she had seen a rodeo ute - described it perfectly, as james worked out it was one of his mates) :D

but if you drive like a dick then sukd in if you get caught anyway :burnout:

regarding theives: nice alarm

put away in locked up garage

and sleep next to a 12-gauge :uh-huh:

I like personalised plates, but it's some reasons that put me off of them, like rumors etc

Heh, been there.. altho was more a case of.. rumour was going round at kingsway/beldon i was running a form of nos.. so driving to a location cop pulls me over "u havent got anything in the back u shouldnt have?" "no i dont officer" "mind if i look?" "be my guest" he had a check of the tray etc.. nothing. Only found out the next day that people thought i was running nos and were talking about it in a less thatn discreet fashion

they wont be able to charge you with speeding but they can still come at you later with a careless driving or dangerous driving summons which means you have to battle it out in court

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
