I think they look awesome and I kinda feel they should have been here before the 'Aussie' range ....

I wonder if we'll see the opposite problem to Euro plates on Japanese cars?

Would you get Japanese plates for your car?

What's the logic in that? We live in Australia...

These will appeal to pretty niche group of people, would be cool to see them in production though.

Those aussie plates are hideous! And probably have an even smaller niche market than jdm plates...

The look awesome! And considering EVERYONE on this forum has whinged about plates not fitting properly...

Wonder if NSW will follow?

Oh but I don't like the jap symbols... looks tacky

One of our likers on FB has provided this image of the possible NSW plates;

I'm totally unconvinced by this. Absolutely can't see "I ❤️ JDM" on plates provided by the RTA.....

Thats disappointing, I didnt realise the writing was fake. :(

sorry i dont know if its fakem i dont know what it sais, maby its correct and propper but its still *to me* like sticking asian kanji on my car thinking im all that.

its still there to "LOOK" jdm.

but im all for properly fitting plates. this is a good thing

The whole concept dovetails with "SAU" > "Importing Cars" > "Auctions of Cars of Japan".

Rationale is that Cars of Japan are manufactured with Quality Control that is arguably second to none. Sure there's been a shift in recent years for the general public to go Euro, but have you ever taken anyone for a drive in your 'rice' machine and your 'shotgun' keeps nodding with approval? Heck, I've even heard neighbours raving about a Thai manufactured Honda and how well made it is. Overseen by Japanese QC of course. So I can see in future, Accord Euros running around with Japanese style plates rather than Euro plates hehe...

Hmmm, I wonder if Korean style plates are in the offing, depending on how these Jap plates go.

From the Hondas I qc'd I doubt anyone took a second look at them, even your accords were put together with what seems like a 5yr old with eye and hand coordination misfortune.

Doubt you Vic guys will be getting these plates as every other state has been talking about them and the picture in which prank posted seems awfully familiar to the others.

I just can't see an Australian number plate being released with a foreign language on it. Maybe a 'style' like Leroy's pic above, but definitely no characters.

I have also liked and voted on nsw plates.

I'd be after A or B.

And why not have a foreign language on our plates?

In nsw, we have hsv and FPV plates.

Euro plates.

Girl plates with high heels on them.

Tattoo plates.

And I'd like to think of Australia as one of the most open and multicultural countries in the world, adding a foreign language will just progress this.

Also, car sales companies can now get (and have for a while) their companies websites and logos on them.

Surprised we haven't got sau plates yet.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Man I hate those dealership plates! I'd be pissed if I bought a car with dealer plates because you'd have to pay to replace them.

I'm all for foreign languages on plates but I just can't see them going into production.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
