damn

why don't the aussie government take the damn hint then and realise that there are so many jap cars here and being imported, that instead of making those puncy looking euro plates, make jap styled plates, they can make more money!

just my suggestion

aybee is right... the Japanese plates are of course proprty of the Japanese government so they want them back when the car is deregistered. It's normal proceedure anywhere so I don't know why people think Japan should let their plates be given to anyone who wants them...

They're big ugly things anyways... whats to like?

Can't you claim that you lost the plates and get more made up? This is in Australia though. I'm sure if you were keen the same could probably happen in Japan, claim the plates were damaged/lost then get an extra set. Only return one set. But that kinda begs the question...why...

there's a company in the US I'm tryin to get in touch with that make jap style plates... if you wanna check out what they look like pick up the latest Hot4's and check out the US Scene section where almost 50% of the cars have jap plates on em.

Hehehe! PWND! The kaji (Japanese character) for "Osaka" in that link is wrong!

It should be "大阪"....

... Geez they should've checked with the Japan forum before making that website! :P

maybe its the same as many of the states in Oz where you have to return the plates to their transport office to be destroyed?
I never had to... i bought a car with WA rego and I still have the plates.

the only reason I would have had to send them back to WA was if i wanted to cash in on the rego that was left, but i didn't bother cos it was only a couple of months.

so i got ACT rego, and put the WA plates in my garage...for what purpose i have no idea lol. I'm a horder :Oops:

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
