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).

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
