I dont think its a bad idea, to be honest paying a few hundred dollars for the price of a plate then reseeling it in a years time or when you can get good money for i think is worth while. I have been looking into doing the same, i have found a combination that i know i will get money. There is a difference between doing this and a scalper. A scapler will buy a ticket to a concert, then after the concert is over you only have the memories (and a light wallet), a number plate you can have for as long as you want and have something tangable that you can hold in your hands not just a memory.

Whats the difference in buying a number plate, holding on to it for a period of time then selling it for a profit to buying a second property, holding on to it for a bit then selling it at a profit when the demand is there?

I think it is smart investment and good luck to you if you can get 5k, 10k or even 500 bucks.

Isn't this akin to the days where one could happily buy a .com address and then sell it on and retire?

Nah , youd be a scalper type if you did that, lol.

Youve managed to come up with an analogy i couldnt because i was too frustrated.

I dont know what its worth but all the hype surrounding the GTR has only served to prove the plates were a good idea a year ago.

Im sure there are plenty of other people who have secured the various combinations in all the states so good luck to them.

Also good luck to you.

I think its worth what ever someone wants to pay really.

Like i said, having the plates is nice even if i cant afford the car at the moment.

i dont really feel all the negativity is really needed in this thread.

This is the way the world works. If you can make money doing something people do it.

m3gtr, im sure youll be able to make money off all the plates you have. just dont try to sell them stupidly expensive.

goodluck to you. if you you didnt buy these plates im sure someone else on the forum would have.

i just went out and bought some plates myself

R35GTR was available on V-plates but when i went in it wasnt ;)

so i got CBAR35 instead

What does the CBA stand for?

Not in banking are you?

You are all obviously pissed you didnt think of it yourself, this man is smart and will make astronomical amounts of cash from these plates.

Half the pussys who buy the r35 are going to be loaded wankers and a 10k number plate is a walk in the park because to his mates hes the bloke who blew 10k on a plate (it makes him tough) to us it just makes him a wanker.

Nice work snapping up the plates!

theres nothign wrong with what this bloke did. he seized on a business opportunity and will make money from it.

he did nothing illegal.

he did nothing immoral

he bought something, and will sell it later - like buying art and then selling it. why would u give him sh1t? he took the initiative to apply for the plates and paid cash and picked them up.

I wish i bought VL2NV before that one sick leb did!

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
