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 much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
