Well at work, sometime between 11-3 someone either reversed into the front of my car or used a foreign object to bend my numberplate on one side so it kinda closed. Peeved off that this happened and just wondering if a block of wood behind it and tapping it with a mallet would put it back to almost the original state. If anyone has put one back into shape then let me know lol.

By the looks of it, it got hit by the corner or a towbar, but it must have been a low car to only hit the plate! If it was someone using an object of some kind then i hope you get hit by a bus.

Yup, will never be quite straight again. Have the same prob with the front plate on my SP23. got caught on my pants as I was walking past the front of the car, and bent the corner big time :) Never been straight since, so only way for 100% straight is to buy a new one.

thanks Nick :D always Mr. Info :)

Heard any more about a Melbourne move yet mate?

I'm heading over this weekend to meet a couple of people. Doubtful anything will happen at this stage i keep on hearing the same old crap of "i'll let you know soon"

like someone else said, lucky it was only your plates!

I laughed when i read u jumped on it lol, funny

By the way, spotted you at marion one evening last week, was gonna come over n say hello but thought i would have seemed a bit.. odd

new plates are something like $25 - have a splurge and buy new ones

They came out pretty good by beating them with a mallet lol

be glad its only your plate that is smashed :P

Little bit of damage on the front bar from their number plate screws (i think) but yeah pretty lucky

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
