I have heard this also, i do not know how much truth there is to it, but one of my reloes had a mx5 with no front plates, and i was like wtf, and they insisted they didnt come out with them because there was no where to put them, i was just like, yes ok...

Im sure you can get away with it, but you can also get fined on it. Ring up ur local tmu a few times, and i betya u get a few different answers regarding to it :P

just put it on, what harm is it doing?

You rnumber plate is to be fitted to the centre of your front bar.... Fitting to the side is as illegal as not having one at all...

It must be perfectlly visable from a 60 degree angle at 20 metres...

I did my research the other day...

Last time i checked the front numberplate could be mounted on the side but must still conform with the angle and distance rule thingo.

When did you check?

I never had a problem with it being on the side

As long as it is viewable as above standards you will not be booked. But you can never tell if the officer that pulled u up is in a good mood or not...

I have never had a problem with mine being side mounted either. But a friend of mine had her plate zip tied to her front mesh, and when she drove it folded up so you couldnt see it, and she got pulled over, and told to fix it or cop a defect. I think it depends on the officer you get too, but if they are in a bad mood they will do you for anything.

    • Wanted to add some of my R33 GTST  R34 GTR wheels, 18x9 ET30 with 255/35/R18 PS4S'   BBS RE-V7 029 18x9.5 ET22 with 255/35/R18 PS4S' Needs a bit of camber

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
