i suppose we will be seeing the same plates over but with letters replacing numbers. i am not a fan of this. yes it does open up the imagination to different plates but i still think its gonna be crap like majority of the NSW ones that people have done.

I would much rather the plates go on enthusiasts cars rather than car yards.I am also willing to swap for parts.RAC1NG & ELV1S should cover the costs,the rest will be profit.

you've done really well mate, ELV1S is going to make you a mint.

I actually thought about this a bit more.

The value of 'custom' plates now has decreased significantly.

in the past you had to be really creative; eg:

"CAYMAN" becomes "C4MAN", "CAYM4N", "C4YM4N"

The original loses value, and the subsequent ones will never fetch the money the original would - if I wanted CAYMAN i'd not want "C4YMAN" for $1K when the original would be 3K

Also, with so many possible combinations going, say you wanted $5K for a plate like R32GTR, someone will settle for a combination that is similar like "R326TR" for $500.

Further, no point getting stuff like "LS1SS" as the potential asking price is too high a percentage of the vehicle price, as opposed to "GT3RS", which $5K is a small percentage of the purchase price

But ELV1S will score some big bucks though ;)

Buying plates to re-sell them is pointless lol. ELVIS is worth something, ELV1S wont be worth close to the original. Not to mention people would prefer to buy mods on their car than plates for $1000.

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
