Called up Vicroads a week ago and paid for N1NE11 to go on a friends Porsche 911. Just got a call now saying the plates are deemed inappropriate due to Sept 11 bombings. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Dont remember saying I was selling.

A plate is only worth what somebody is willing to pay.

I am very attached to my N1SMO and R1GTR plates,plus afew others I have coming.

I dont need to sell,plus ELV1S will be good for me.

LONG LIVE THE KING.

Whats stupid Paul,I dont need to sell these plates,if someone wants them they can pm me,ELV1S will be going on ebay,as will some of the footy ones,I'm only posting up car related ones (besides ELV1S).

The reason I have not put prices on these is I dont believe a forum is the best place to sell plates,as most of us are still modifying our cars,but if someone is interested,pm me.

I'm planning on owning all 3 GTR's,hence the ammount of Nissan related plates :)

Here's some more STUPID plates,just for you :)

The guy that bought R32/R33 and R34 GTR I am told spent around 25K on different plates as an investment :)

how stupid

Got more plates today.I did some research and found that ELV1S spelt that way,sold for 75,000 pounds in England and ELV11S sold for 45,000 pounds.

Still think its stupid? :(

Now thats some serious Elvis love :lol:  :lol:

That may be the case and I know of several higher than that but in the UK we cannot buy a custom plate that has much variation for a flat rate like you can here. Private plates have a proper market of their own like used cars that I havent seen here. ELV11S would have been standard issue and working roughly in years it would have been the late 70's.

The less letters and numbers, the more cost. I believe the highest if not one of the highest was CK1 which was on a jag. OAS1S was also very high and bought by the drummer of Oasis in the late nineties.

Sure you might get a bit more but people can think again and get a fancy plate for $500.

Got more plates today.I've covered my costs with my non car specific plates,so if anyone wants any of the plates I've displayed in this thread,pm me.

I've given the F100 plates to my mate,alot of the others are available.

yep still think its stupid

I agree with you paul. People that would pay soo much for plates have more money than brains. Even though i have a custom plate i dont go crazy and order 1000 plates in order to sell it. jeez.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
