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.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
