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!

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
