hey

I wanna sell my number plate "SXCSKY" gold n black style.....but i have no idea what to put it for ..i want $3000 including transfer .. wich i think may be reasonable for the name on the plate...it woud suit one of u guys with a sexy sky....would anyone want it at that price?????? il put it in the the for sale section now if anyone wants it...

Who actually buys number-plates? Who would pay $3000.00 for SXCSKY when you could just buy a similar plate (eg. SEXYSKY for $240.00/year in SA), or the same plate interstate?

Not knocking you, it just doesn't make sense to me.

im covering my costs ...go look at mrplates.com or the trading post there r many guys selling theres for $10,000 ....im covering my costs and its not the plate being sold its wats written on it ...and its $400/yr in NSW

If it were some thing like DIABLO VT or VT or 34 GTR then it would be worth a decent amount of money, personally I don't think a SXCSKY is worth 3k.

 

SXC doesn't really make sense.  

 

Just offering my individual opinion.

SEXC (Sexy) SKY(Skyline)

i was only asking if it was suitable price to cover my costs

SXCSKY,

That was my point. It doesn't really sound good.

Well not 3k worth anyhow.

I know its not what you want to hear but I wouldn't expect any one to pay any more than $500 if that.

Unless the C in the number plate really turns them on.

It all depends on if sum1 actualy likes or wants that plate.

If they dont, it doenst matter how much u charge no1 will take it.

But keep advertising it, if u get no bites, try lowering the price..

Yeah wats that yearly cost?

I payed 375 buks for "DRIVER" on slimline poly in W.A. 4life brotha.

Can you sell your plate in NSW? I thought NSW is the only state where you are renting the right to use the plate for that year, it is not actually your property.  Unlike others States where you do in fact buy it outright.

The renting is passed on with the transfer fee of $150.....which then the new owner pays $400/yr for the plate....so wen someone sells the plate to someone else they r selling the idea or the name on the plate not the physical plates itself....so if someone has the plate for 3yrs thats $1200 so he wants to get that bak so he puts wat it cost him with the transfer fee ontop....or if itys a good plate add some profit ...people have been doing this for a long time just check the prices at www.mrplates.com.au or the tradingpost...

In NSW it costs $400/yr to own "custom" numberplates.

Some of the asking prices for custom plates is completely stupid, but each to their own I guess.

Hell if I could even get $1,000 for my custom plates they'd be gone instantly. I Could think of much better things to spend my money on than a $3-10k plate.

right, OK...so you can try and get back $1200 but it also doesn't mean the plates are worth that much. As you said all depending on names, you could try for $3K but I also doubt many would consider a $3K plate.

True also, plates are plates and to me personal plates are more an attention seeker...normal plates for me.

I have always wondered about those ads in the trading post for multi-thousand dollar plates: is anyone vane enough to spend that much on a freaking license plate? I can think of so many other things I would rather spend the money on... can't others? Weird. :headspin:

T0nyGTSt: yeah, that's what I would think... I can understand some rich playboy/girl splurging for plates for their (truly) prestige car, but who the hell else would? Spend the x thousands on the cars itself FFS :D

Although, having said that, I quite like comedic plates. Any plates that are along the lines of "I am too good", "My car is too good", "You are envious of me/my car" should be destroyed IMHO (or be forceably changed over for "WANKER" plates).

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
