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

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
