Rezz - what are the offset number plate brackets worth, and who makes them?

I busted a bolt that holds the bracket to the centre support rail when taking the plate off for track day yesterday :P and that offset looks like a good solution... and where does it bolt to?

Rezz - what are the offset number plate brackets worth, and who makes them?

The bracket was about 2,000 yen (?) from SuperAutobacs (Ikeri's place :)) but I'm not sure who makes them... some generic company who gets their gear made offshore (China). It bolts to the bumper directly... just used self tappers to screw into the bumper from below.

You could knock up some stainless brackets at a steel fabrication place for about $5 though right? (DIY ;))

ronin, ask bass junky to make one up for you, he's a sheet metal fabricator.

failing that get a vice, pop down to bunning and get a piece of sheet metal and just bend it n drill it. real easy to do, and yeah as rezzeh said, get some self tappers to go in the bttom, or for more security, drill a hole in the bumper and put a bolt thru and a nut on the other side.

Thanks Rezz, was actually thinking of bending two pieces of aluminium strap and bolting them in... but I am a lazy bastard so will probably run around without a plate until the police get angry :D

Grand total? A$8,950... including car...

:looney:

hey rezz just wondering about what you did with the holes left over from the stock rear spoiler? does that mini back spoiler cover them?? i wouldnt think so but...
I went to Kounan (or some generic lifestyle/hardware center) and bought these little rubber round thingies that popped straight into the holes in the boot... instant fix. Troy knows what I'm talking about.

The Nismo rear spoiler doesn't cover any of the holes in the boot though, I just painted the round rubber things body colour, thats it.

that colour coding with the wheels and the bomex lip is horn.... :whip:

oh and what are the intercooler kits over there worth? I found the blitz kits to be far more expensive than the Greddy items.. (atleast on the soarer platform) any idea why this is?

You mean grommets :P

hey Justin, great car mate! just found this thread. Very understated, yet very tough, i like it a lot! :D

and to Justin/Troy, would you guys be able to hook me up with some parts i've been trying to get, but proving very difficult? I'd pay you guys a little somethin', somethin', and up front too, but i thought i'd ask first, and then go into detail (via PM) if it's possible. I can put some stuff on a container that i know of.

cheers!

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
