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.

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!

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on.

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
