I want to get some custom plates for my GTR and was wondering if customs had on going costs or if they were pay once and they are yours...

I have a mate at work with custom plates and he doesn't pay for registration, and to be honest I don't really know where I got the idea that custom plates had on going payments but I just wanted to make sure..

cheers

Since this thread was posted in the WA section - common sense would say its in regards to WA rules. ;) If he wanted to know about NSW, he would have been smart enough to ask in the NSW area.... so thanks for making a useless post ;)

You still have to pay a yearly car rego fee like everyone else. As this registers your vehicle - not your plates - to use the road.

But once you pay for the plates - you dont have to pay any on-going "lease" or anything.

I am sure if you had rung the DPI they could have answered your question. Try this website

haha Liz ... Topaz originally posted this in the General Discussions part of the forum, which is where myself and the other bloke replied :)

']just remember you have to pay $60 for Holding fees, this is so they can hold the currently plates you have, you must pay it ;)

is that periodically or one off?

EDIT: do you mean my standard 1xxx - xxx number plate?, if so why is that necessary if you have custom plates :confused:

    • 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?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
