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

thats what i did too, except mines side mounted

Hey Guys and Girls;

I solved this problem with the slimline number plate mounts about a month after I got my R33 typeM. What you need to do is duck into a good mountain bike shop and buy your self two Minora water bottle holders and use the stainless steel mounting brackets to mount the plates. The bracket is exactaly the right width for the number plate holes and the bracket bolts straight onto the type M bar mounting the plate right smackbang in the middle of the center bar section that runs in the middle of the large opening of the bar.

Hope this helps

the 'Slimline plates' are a joke IMO. i went to get some today but found they're the exact same width as regular plates (i.e 372mm i think, the slot on my car is only about 350mm) Worst part is the only way to get a shorter width plate is to pay $627 (this is the ACT by the way) for custom plates!

What a joke! you can't have a standard number plate made shorter... and by the way, cutting them is illegal but go figure, the people down at the shopfront had NO IDEA about bent plates. Guess i'm just going to have to bring the plate forward. This is bloody stupid though, they should be able to make the plates shorter instead of stuffing around and paying $627 odd dollars for something i didn't want in the first place.

True they're Japanese plates, but how hard would it be to make our plates 25mm shorter? Honestly? is that too much to ask? obviously it is. one size, unless you want to get custom plates. Why make them slimmer and not shorter? that makes no damn sense.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • 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.
