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).

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
