Well my baby has now been transferred from NSW to ACT rego and I have therefore lost my number plates.

So if there are any New South Welshman/Welshwoman out in our merry group with a GTR my old plates(GTR OOM) should now be available in the NSW.

On the bright side I do have some Y series plates(ends in GT 32R) on order that should do the job :-)

I had more money than sense when I first got my plates for the GTS-T. Still I like em on the GTR but $1800 could buy all sorts of nice parts for the car. Cost is $122 for replacement - but I know this fella who .... if your interested

I am advised there is a cheaper method for Personailsed Plates.

1. Register a business (whatever name you like) $100-$150

2. Get the plates (Business Name) $350 ?

3. Do nothing with the business! - Claim the cost of the plates as a tax loss.

Meh - Sounds good, anyone want to test this?

It's dodgy...i had a long chat with the lady at the Shop Front one day about ways to get around it, and she was very forthcoming with information. However, i forget pretty much everything she said, as this was a good few months ago

I have know that ppl have done that before, reg a buss then used the something about the buss name in the number plate of the car. Reg buss in the ACT will cost you $110, then to buy the plates it will cost $500. (have to have something to do with buss name.) YOu will also pay a bit more for reg as your car will now be a buss car, so you can park in loading zones and shit.

After talking to an accountant, you have to earn at least $4 000 before you can claim anything as a loss. They put this in place to stop people getting a business name, and buy heaps of stuff they wanted so they could claim it back.

My GF has a business name, but had not yet earned enough to claim her business expenses at a loss. This is how I found out about it. This can carry on for a number of years until you've accumulated at least 4 g's of business.

what was the process transfering nsw rego to act? I made some early enquiries and was told I had to have an inspection-I am concerned about getting knocked back on things like exhaust, wheels, inductions etc. (had bad experiences in the past-17 defects!-which were all BS)

Go and get what I like to call a REGO muffler made for you. This way you go over the pits/rego station with the pee shooter and then when you get home you take it of. Also helps with if you ever get a defect for noise you go home and get the pee shooter for rego etc. Braddon exhaust made ours and I am sure they would do you a good deal also. Dan

I was lucky with regards to transferring rego from NSW to ACT 'cause my GTR was one of the australian release ones so I didn't have to go over the pits.

As far as I know you now have to take all imports over the pits. But saying that I'm not sure if you have to go over the pits if you're transferring ACT rego to ACT rego.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
