you allowed to off set it as long as its still fully viewable from a 180 degree angel.

this was told me the other wk by a QLD Transport officer when i got my defect notice for my number plate being incorrectly secured to the front bar.

Yeah - neo32 is on the money... 45 degrees is the rule.

As for the previous post about the distance being 45 metres... I think I would need binoculars to see it from that far away even at 90 degrees :angry:

... Spose, my eyesight isn't that great though, LOL.

it can be a $340 fine and 3 points if u own the car

it was the first day those red monaros were on patrol and i got done buy one bullshit situation she only saw the front of the car for 3 sec and then follewed me for 15 mins then pulled me up for it i protested it they came out and measured it and i was there when they did definatly 45 deg and 20 m

they had the speed gue and everything the thing is tho on one side of the car it angles away so from the far side away from the plate its imposable to read if its screwed onto the car if the plate was straight faceing froward no on the angle with bar it would be ok

I didnt think you had to display a front number plate?

Im pretty sure by law your not required to, but if they pull you up on that and you show them the legislation in writing, they are going to rape you for as much other stuff as they can.

Why not save the $90 or $340 and just leave it where it is, the middle.

If you have a modified / aftermarket front bar, it may not be practical to leave it in the middle. Plus the intercooler gets more air if the plate is offset. But as long as it can be viewed from the said angle / distance, then you should not get a fine anyway.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
