Front Number Plate Placement

Sorry if it's a repeat topic, I did some searching and didn't come up with anything (forum search software blows).

Now, I'm about to get a FMIC on my R33 S2 and I wanted to know, where is it ok to put my front number plate?

I've seen a couple of cars with it off to the left hand side which is good for me because I'm wanting to do a simple air-intake where the side mount used to be. But what are the legalities involved with relocating the number plate?

Eventually I'll get a slimline plate for the front to make things easier (plus I prefer it to be the the center -- looks more balanced), but until then where can it go?

Get some custom plates and get a slim line plate for the front :action-smiley-069:

Yeah, I think I might have to do that sooner than I thought. Maybe I'll just mount the number plate a little higher until I have more money to blow on plates. :)

The hard thing is, space is pretty limiting. The fog lights may be a bit too much in the way to put it off to the left.

Get something like a couple of L brackets & join it to the bumper in the gap underneath the lights.

Yea, thats what I've done. I just made a bracket that lifted the whole plate up by about 60 to 70mm.

Mine is mounted on the drivers side on my BNR32 Righthand side. Cops have pulled me over and said nothing. And unfortunately the multinovas still get ya. Comes up clear as day in the infringement photos. :banana: and i'm sure thats all the police care about.

I have a Cusco number plate offset kit that uses the original holes and moves it off to the passenger side. I never used it. Stainless steel bracket, still in the packet. (That rhymes!)

Let me know if you are interested. By the way, all Alfa Romeos have it on passenger side from factory. The only legal requirement that I am aware of is that it has to be mounted so that it is parallel with the axle - so you cannot have too much of an angle.

Cheers. :banana:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      That's the thing. Especially at idle, changing the cam angle by that much could be spewing more fuel out the exhaust courtesy of everything happening that bit later. More fuel also means more air (if the fuel didn't burn, then neither did the O2) and so the O2 sensors can start to tell interesting but misleading stories. And the specifics of what is happening could easily be affected by everything else you changed as well. And it could be dynamic, where a few revs more or less could somewhat change how the engine is breathing.

      Good idea on the temp probe. The mv readings of the O2 sensors are very similar to one another, as is the injector pw. I went through logs in the past to see if there was a discrepancy and there is. Because they alternate up and down as narrowbands do.. they do often 'switch' as to which one is more. They were never 20%+ (more like 1-2%) so it's possible the difference between 20 and 15-17% is a similar discrepancy to 2.0% and 1.7% which I wouldn't have really noticed in the past. We did think about spacing the strut brace. Unfortunately the ~20mm that the GTR brace is lower than the GTT brace is effectively what you need to clear the vents. Moving it up would make it very uncomfortable, but it's plausible that 10mm is a unhappy medium between both hard places... The good news is.. using MR HAMMER it was actually pretty easy to bend back the bent bits to make sure the guard and headlight/new headlight tabs line up right. Yes, we used a R34 GTR guard to make sure the bolt holes all lined up with a known straight guard. As above, you can see the side skirt and the GTR guard are not meant to play together, but everyone seems to think this is a simple fix to the point where nobody who has had these talk to one another mentions how... ...so I'll just assume they know how to fix it when it comes to paint jail time again. Whoever they are. Nobody returns my calls. There's so much changed with regard to the ECU and the car.. that the next step really is to connect the scanner and attempt to drive the thing. It'll be pretty clear pretty fast how in or out everything actually is...

      That's nasty! I think there is perhaps an inherent problem is using elastomers in such environments. The whole thing can and will get quite hot, and elastomers are not famous for their temperature resistance. On top of that, if the components are cast rubber or urethane and so on, there might be QA/QC problems with bubbles or voids in the material that could critically change their performance. They might just tear apart after being squished (presuming that any elastomers are used in compression rather than tension, I'm thinking that you squeeze one with a void in it and it tears the wall of the void to the outer edge of block, then the next time it extends or otherwise twists, it just gives up). This is all purely hypothetical, but it makes me wonder if the things that they have put into it to make it nice to use/live with are perhaps going to cause occasional failures like this. I wouldn't be getting up in arms over it, unless there are many repeats. I have personally ruined an Xtreme clutch - just an HD thing. I can't remember if it was still behind the 20 or was after the 25 went in. But it inverted some of the retaining spring/clip things around the outside. No-one could explain it. It wasn't thrashed, there wasn't heaps of torque being put through it, and there were no obvious problems other than the above. They were quite concerned by the event so they replaced it even though it was a few years old, which was very nice of them. As far as I am concerned, these things happen with clutches.
