I agree... for example, this Mark II Blit would have looked a touch overdone if the owner had added one of those glowing number plates.

for sure, lucky he let his sense of good taste restrain him. :)

mate, having those plates is not only illegal, showing them off is pretty offensive.

As a Japanese resident i find it insulting. If those were my plates and i saw them in the back window of someones ride, id be pissed.

Hehe well unfortunately for readyGO I am 99% sure that numberplate came off a C33 Laurel and not a R33 Skyline. It is still pretty cool though.

I still have the plates from my S14 that was crushed. I am pretty sure legally, LOL, I could be wrong.

To be perfectly honest, I purchased them from an importer who had them advertised on ebay :)

Not sure how he actually got them, but I only paid $70 from them and picked them up from his place..

Just checked his ebay profile (he had a few plates for sale).. Anyway, doesn't look like he's a registered user anymore as of the 15th Jan...

gee...i wonder why...? :)

You know Laurence, If i had to crush a car id sure as hell keep the plates. Screw anyone who thought otherwise,....a little reminder of my dead bebe and all that...but buying someone elses off a dodgy Ebayer?? thats a little different.

To readyGO, you may not have known it at the time but you know now... those plates were supposed to have been surrendered but hey, if your conscience is clean, keep em! :banana:

M3gtr, when you deregister any car you have to surrender the plates so when you go and deregister your car before you get her crushed and don't surrender the plates (you tell them that they were stolen and go and get a police report) you are doing committing the same illegal, pretty offensive act as readyGO has. And as a Japanese resident, I would find that insulting if I hadn't done it myself a couple of times already.

The main reason I think they are from a C33 is that the "vehicle type" number 533 is for a "Passenger Car" whereas an R33 is a "Heavy Passenger Car"

Anyway it is more a matter of trivia than anything.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
