Hi guys,

recently, I bought a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-X and wanted to change the rego, XOB 444 (Yes, I'm tetraphobic but that's not the point). I then used the old plate on my mum's BMW (it's the extra long white Euro plates) and after I organised it with RTA i found out it didn't fit! What can I do? can I hand it on the spoiler with ropes?

can I screw them on somewhere else on the back bumper? I need a solution and fast!

The dimensions for the Euro plate is 110X520MM for front and back

What my car CAN fit is134X372MM on the back. I can hang the front plate somewhere else.

From Bunnings, buy some long "6M" size screws. (- these replace the existing screws)

Also buy metal tubular spacers that will fit over them.

Once you've attached the Euro plates the rear plate will extend out beyond the number plate light - but that's the risk you take. However, there hasn't been a police blitz on broken rear number plate lights for over a decade.

It'll be better to procure the plates "GTX.444" or similar.

I'll stick with that. What other solution is there?

...you mean the blitz?

I was answering to "fast" - not "legal"

LOL

tetraphobia is the fear of the number 4.

pretty sure GTX.444 is exactly what he doesn't want ;)

Yeah I don't know why people especially Asians have such a thing about "4"! I know that it has a similar pronunciation as "death" in Chinese.

I know what you're getting at now hehe

Stupid superstitions about the devil's number too.

a catholic priest in gympie once had 666 on his number plate. this was funny for more than just the obvious reason. it was on a honda HRV, which at the time had the devil in the ads, where i think they had 666-hrv as the number plate.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
