So I returned the fully sick plates I had on the car I recently purchased in place for "normal" plates.

They were normal enough alright, they plates don't even match up! I only noticed after 2 weeks :woot:

Guess I'll be wasting MORE of my time lining up at the RTA to actually get a pair of plates that match up. Good job guys, we pay you more than enough and you can't even get something so simple right.

ROFL Gold!!!

Temptation to keep 'em:- If you get a ticket off the front plate, bring the rear one to court. If you get pinged on the rear plate, bring the front one to court.

That's a rare 'pair'. Must be worth sumfin!!

But actually on second thought, there may be another identical 'pair' Hahahaha...

If those plates were on a 4 door family car I would do it, already drive a cop magnet, I want to attract the least trouble & problems lol..

Hence I'm getting rid of those ulleh 19" wheels, anyone want to buy? Click on my signature :whistling:

I would not be surprised if they try to charge you $30 to change the plates because you are of the opinion that there is something wrong with a perfectly good set of plates that they issued to you.

I can't imagine the plate "swap" will be a simple process either.

Surely the car will require re-inspection, VIN, engine number etc verification.

Then the label on the glass and the actual paperwork, which plate do they show?

Sounds like half a day in lost wages.

One wonders if there's hundreds more similar cases, once the plate pile gets out of sequence ??????????

On the rego sticker it has the the rear plate as being correct. I'm going to see those idiots on Saturday morning to get it sorted. Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to charge me a fee for new plates. Watch me rage lol

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
