If this is true, its very very cool.

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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
