i think the ADR rule states (and correct me if im wrong) something along the lines: All lights must be clean, visible and untinted so besides it making the plate less legible i dont think it would be allowed if it did. Got any pics, im interested in seeing how they look.

you would think that by making the characters light up it would be more visible at nite wouldnt it?? dunno what they look like durring the day though:D

as for pics well just imagine ur plates with the letters and numbers lit up in green at nite but the surrounding white isnt.

I recently saw a Japanese Z32 Camaro with Saitama plates and the numers 32...

I thought japanese personalised plates weren't available, but then again money can buy everything right :)

Actually, you pay a fee, and you can choose your number... it's that simple. Of course alot of the single digit numbers are "reserved" for Yakuza, or so it seems.

My number plate is "61-16"... totally chosen at random, I must have been lucky.

Can you choose them now? I did hear them revise the regulation a couple of months ago and what numbers they were up to.

As for the illuminated ones...yes you have to pay extra...why would I want to pay extra to have my plates more visually clear if I accidently ran a red :).

LOL...if only, the whole policing of traffic laws in Japan is simply. Break the law and you will get caught but at the same time you can be equipped with radars and the periodic revisions of where all the cameras are, so if you get caught your pretty stupid or deserve it.

I would have expected people here to be talking about the fixed angle plates or swing plates, obviously when you pick up speed the wind pushes the plate horizontally back so it sits flat.

I think this might be what you (B1) were after?

That jap person has done lots of DIY stuff on their cappuccino but the plate holder/lights seem to be off the shelf kit?

yeah at night it does look cool and kinda blurry but during the day time it makes the number looks bolder. now this one that i saw, instead of the screw on the back plate he has this bright, and i mean really bright blue light. when i was looking at it even i cant read his numbers, so that might one more alternative to look at. the swinging hinges for the front plate its only 900 yen from autobacs and it does work on high speed.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
