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.

    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
