SA number plates to change from Wednesday

MOTORISTS will start to notice something different on the state's roads from Wednesday.

SA's standard issue number plates are to get a new look as part of an Australia-wide move to eliminate duplication.

From Wednesday, number plates will comprise seven characters beginning with a fixed "S" followed by three numbers and three letters, for example, S123 ABC.

Motorcycle number plates will also adopt the fixed "S" to be followed by two numbers and three letters, for example, S12 ABC.

Registrar of Motor Vehicles Martin Small said the new plates will replace the current alpha numeric varieties that have now reached the end of their sequence.

"We've reached the end of the line with the current model and the change is timely given the potential for duplication to exist between state plates," he said.

"While the new plates serve the national interest, the unique 'S' clearly and concisely identifies the vehicle as being registered in South Australia."

The new plates will not carry a slogan but rather feature the words "South Australia" only in a move designed to most efficiently identify vehicles.

The range of slogan plates presently available for sale will be discontinued, but replacement plates will be available in the various existing formats until current stockpiles are exhausted.

Also, a new range of 'Euro' style number plates designed specifically for European cars will soon be released.

A slimline style, Euro plate will allow connoisseurs of European vehicles to add a distinctly SA flavour to their vehicle while maintaining the original look and feel.

Motorists seeking further information on the new number plates should visit www.ezyplates.sa.gov.au or call Service SA on 131084.

No ones discussed the price of these new plates have they? :D

Bet you they'll cost a damn sight more than the old ones ... substantially more ... money grabbing government :D

I dread to think how large the plates for bikes will be! :D

Maybe a ploy by the Government to slow motorcycles down by sticking a huge air (drag) brake on the back of it :D

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      Custom titanium intake

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
