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

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
