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

']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:

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
