So recently I did a number plate swap (I wanted a personalised one) and I didn't know it at the time but the white Euro plates were extra long.

I did'nt know until I got my plates from RTA and tried to fit them on. The front one is fine but the one at the back doesn't fit into the gap (where the nubmer plate is supposed to be) instead it goes over it. I don't know what to do and my mum would be MAD if I spent more money on my rego

Just to tell you I'm 18 and just got my P plates. So any suggestions that don't include swapping or restyling plates or destroying the bumper because I have a unique body kit...

Please help!

note: I already spent $400 just receiving the plates so yeah... my mum would go spastic

that is a pickle,confused.gif

i had to bend mine they were just standard n they didnt fit in the 34 gap...

maybe put plate brackets on the back bumper but u gotta check if its legal too....

Idk... bending them doesn't seem plausible....

Where would I get plate brackets?

and to the other guy, its a R34 25GT sedan

I don't know if anyone has done it before... You can get them custom made google is helpful but like I said not sure about how legal it would be you would need to be sure their still lit up at night, etc.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
