I dont know if nsw is the same as vic but once the plates are stolen you can not get another set the same because someone has the other ones.

That's correct.

There should be a way of getting a number plate frame that can be locked?

saw a thing on 5th gear a while back, over there with all there extra tolls and congestion charges number plate theft is huge, they had cops walking around handing out screws that once they are done up tight enough the heads snap off and you cant get the off without f**king the number plate.

From what ive been told you cant get them replaced because then there are 2 sets getting around, also to get number plates replaced you have to report them stolen, if you get the same plates again your driving around with stolen number plates, also you can get out of speed camera and city link fines by saying you were not there and it must have been the ones that were stolen.

If im wrong i might have to report my plates stolen and then get a new set :P

you can get them replaced DEFINATLY...

missus had her reAr plate stolen on her astra 'A55TRA' and we reported it to cops, called vic roads and they sent a new one but we were told to carry the report around just in case we got pulled over. next week we were pulled over and pulled ouuta car cause plates have been reported haha. but deifantly if plates are stolen they are replacable by vicroads, with a police report. in vic anyways

Nice, and then they put them on the same car as yours, get a couple of speeding fines and citylink fines and you have to go through all the shit of proving it was not you, id rather just get different plates.

those '1' plates are on a silver E55, it's owned by Peter Bartels ... I live in the same apartment building (see it parked downstairs all the time)

No wonder why....

"Peter Bartels is now the highest paid executive in Australia." Some of his inflammatory comments had included the following: "His earnings of $55,000 a week - disclosed in the company's latest financial statement"

true i spose its the shit u gotta go thru after some cheap prick pinches them but hey, there was no way the missus was giving up the plates lol. shes in love with them.

we havnt had any trouble yet about them coming back on the streets but she still carries the police report just in case.

Also, i hate plates that state the obvious like:

"BLKGTR" ok, thanks for caring, but I AM NOT colour blind.

"MYGTR" Duh, if it wasn't yours, obviously you wouldn't be driving it, but just so we're absolutely clear, you are driving your own car. Congrats.

"LANCER" Thanks for specifying the model of your vehicle, as hard as it is to believe, I am NOT incapable of establishing your vehicle make and model on my own.

Geeeesh...sorry!

Hardly a 'smart' plate, but I like it!

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
