Hey guys,

I want to get custom plates on my upcoming R33, I don't like the standard full size WA plates at the back or the front (too ghey)

To anyone that has custom plates, what size do you have ?

I understand there is 1/4 size, 1/2 size, 3/14 size and normal size..

I'm thinkin of getting 1/4size at the front, and 3/4 size at the rear. this sound about right ?

Ahh dont wanna let the wind outta ure sails but imho these are some bad points with personal pl8s.

1/ ppl recognise the car wether its good guys (cops) or bad guys (theives) ure better off remaining anonymous.

2/ they (like everything) cost money which could be put to better use under the bonnet.

3/ U run the risk of gettin the pl8s i had planned:lol:

my $0.02

Not entirely true.

You can have slimline at the back, you just have to make up a plate which covers the massive space left there and also to cover the big nut which holds the rear bar on. Have a look at mine next time you see me (bring on the next crooze!) to see what the hell i'm talking about.

Cheers!

I don't know what the story with the sticker type number plates are. I know that in order to get 3/4 size or 1/2 size plates you can only have a certain number of charaters on your plate. Mine had too many thus had to pay maximum $$ for polycarbonate as well.

Boostzor: Nope, wasn't me in Kings Park. Sorry. I was totally asleep at that time! :P

Strich9: I know it's not 100% official but is that car from Melville Auto Imports? Think I saw one line it there when I drove past the other day.

Cheers all :)

If you get the slimline ones at the front and normal at the back - does the rear one use the same letters as the front and what colours is it?

I was looking at getting the $110 slimline (the one where you dont get to choose the letters) so I get a slim plate up front to minimise airflow disruption to the intercooler, but the fullsize plate would look better at the back, depending on the style.

Or is it a full custom choice to get the slimline and fullsize plate (eg expensive) ?

i ordered some plates a few weeks ago. this is what i understood.

u can get those slimline plates for 110 or so bucks but they choose the letters. both plates are slimline.

or u can u the slimline plate where u can choose 2 numbers and 2 letters. both plates are slimline.

or u can get custom plates for 275 bucks(steel). u can choose the colour and size. there are about 14 different colours to choose from. front and back plates can be different sizes.

u can track down the wa licensing centre online to get all the details. i think i searched "custom plates wa."

hope that can help.

    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
    • Sounds good. Provided the panel is flat/level I'd be happy to start the painting process.  While you are learning, for sure you could do this. Its only paint, you can always sand it all back and start again. Its only your time and money on materials, but while you're learning, really its time and money spent on your education.  Once you know how to do this bodywork and painting, you won't want to waste your time and money on frivolous activities lol. 
    • Yep I will use a guide coat after putting filler, I will do it on the whole panel as I'm a beginner so chances I've made quite a few errors. In that photo, I think that was a low spot, I just for example said to pretend it's flat but I will put filler + guide coat after to assess where I'm at. Yep with that picture, the panel is wet as it rained when I took the photo. But all those scratches are completely smooth, I went over it with 240 grit and can't feel it, even with my nail digging into it. I was legit thinking to buy a 2k can and spray primer to see how it turns out but then thought to myself it's going to be a mess doing it haha. Good mention there. Thanks for all that info I think I know what to do next.
    • Prior to laying down the primer, you need to make sure the surface is completely level. For example, based on this picture, I strongly suspect that the areas marked in blue are higher then the area marked in green.  If you spray primer over this entire area, then paint and clear it, the finished result will 100% show the low area. It will stick out like dogs balls. Unfortunately the paint won't magically level out the low areas as you lay it down.  Without seeing it in person, I expect that the green area will need to be filled, then use a guide coat and check that the entire repair area is level with a large sanding block.  With this picture, are you saying that even though you can see the scratches, the panel is in fact completely smooth and flat? If this is the case sure you could prep and paint it as it is.     The picture with the paint you described as blistering, it's hard for me to comment on from the photo alone. It looks like the panel is wet? Dunno, looks strange. Does the panel feel as smooth as glass when you run your hand over it? **** Going back to your question again, generally you would only sand the primer if you made a mistake while laying down the primer.  If the panel is prepped properly and you lay the primer down properly, you should not need to sand the primer.  This wouldn't work - Don't prep the panel. Spray primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas where the issues appear. Spray more primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas....... Yeah you'd go round and round in circles getting no where.
