I have an intriguing question...

How have you guys mounted it to the front bar?? I have an R33 with M-spec bar (not that that matters) and i find the plate is too wide for the slot... at this stage i have just tried to pad in behind it, but its not going to well and the paint has been scraped from the pressure by the number plate.

I have noticed that my mums B4 has a similar situation, but she has some kind of bracket behind which makes the number sit further forward, hence not rubbing against the paint...

I hope you guys know what i'm talking about, just wondering if anyone has some suggestions for me.

Cheers.

you can put brackets in or you can cut it... well i am pretty sure it may be not so legal but i have done it with mine the only thing that is missing is a little bit of the silver off the sides it fits perfect now you can hardly tell... well sorta but it looks better ;)

Before I got my mspec bar cut, my plate used to just bend a little in the middle. I screwed it into the normal place, but it didn't scrape or anything. Just slightly arched the middle of the plate.

It didn't permanently arch it either. Cause now I've got the front bar cut, it just sits flat along the top.

when i got my car it was already like this, but the plates are bent right at the edges so its the right distance across but its not actually cut so i think it should be ok legality-wise...

Got S2 front bar and car was sold to me from dealership with bent plates...

Might be a silly question, but does anyone know if there are laws against bent number plates?

In Qld it is Illegal to have bent plates, they call it defacing government issue items, or some shit like that........However i have only ever heard of ONE person being booked for it.

It may depend how nice you are to the officer that pulls you over.

I tend to use small brackets that screw into the underside of the top section of the bar and then are bent upwards, keeps the plate away from the bar. Works a treat. About 45cents each from bunnings

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
