Mounting Rear Nsw Rego Plate ..

[rtune]

I lost my brain and bought euro plates at the RTA. And then lost my brain and

didn't try to mount them to till the next day. Of course the rear plate doesn't fit

under any circumstances. $130 lost (as I didn't come back to rta SAME day).

Now I have the regular ones. Is there a rear plate bracket solution for R34?

the stock one doesn't work, in fact, the plate doesn't even fit flush there

isn't quite enough space. I have a temporary solution involving sticking a

metal plate to the back of the non metallic rego, then two ridiculously strong

rare earth magnets that are thick enough to hold the plate out enough so

there is more room (looking down from above, the space looks like \_x__x_/

where the X are the two magnets that the plate can be stuck to.

Nevertheless it still doesn't look right as the japanese frame is too high..

Sorry, long post on a short problem.

Get spacers (washers which are quite thick) This may help but honestly you have almost no chance fitting euro plates to a r34. Sounds like it semi fits but ive never seen a aftermarket plate holder for the r34.

yeah I figured. I might try to remove the japanese frame completely see where that leaves me.

Does anyone mount their small front plate very low down on the spoiler? literally an inch up

from the lip.. ?

attached two pics front and rear ..

You bought euro plates for a VERY Japanese car?

If you take off the cover, it should fit perfectly. You have the slim line ones (front is smaller) and the holder design for the 'lines is the same throughout the chassis I believe. Mine fits absolutely perfectly

Also, technically, those covers are illegal and defectable. (read it on an ADR bookmarked at home)

it was my fourth visit to the RTA in two days and my brain was fried. I took a liking to the colors, ok? ..

mostly black.. bit of gold..

really? those covers are on almost every nice car in sydney. Barloworld put one on my

golf last service because some parker cracked the last one they also put on. Maybe

they are defectable but then I guess the cops keep that in reserve for people they want

to piss off!

honestly the rear holder doesn't fit the plate, not without HUGE spacers and bolts I'd have

to find as well. Over 15 mm out for the spacers, more if you want to avoid the plate edge

touching the fender.

Cover doesn't wrap the plate, it just clips over it so the plate is no bigger on or off..

It will fit with spacers..

They arnt euro plates, I thought those weird euro ones with a N at the start..

Anyway Spacers will lift it up about 5mm and it will fit minus cover. You can get rubber grommets at dick smith which are soft so bolts wont scratch your plates minus the cover.

Hope u get it sorted.

Don't know if this will help...

Here's a pic of my old r34, you can just make out the edge of the plate cover, these are the plastic ones I pinched when I was working for a dealership and they clip around the plate rather than just sit on top with clips.

Don't know the size of the spacer, but it JUST fit on the edges of the reverse lights with the cover and still sat well inside the bar, looking nice and factory.

I used white slimlines which are exact size as your metallic

I'll try to find a pic I haven't completely covered the plate

PS. I too bought euro plates for my new car only to find they wouldn't fit properly, but I went macguyver on it's ass and fabricated a custom plate bracket, wouldn't look as well on an r34 though unfortunately

Just bend the plates a bit and bolt them on, thats what I did. No covers or spacers.

The standard bumper hole on the r33s and r34s (not sure about the 32s) fit the number plate when you space it out by about 1/2 cm.

To fit my plate cover, I modified the cover by using a bench angle grinder and grinding the black side edges about 1/2 cm narrower on each side. Looks like I bought it like that - and that is how I like it (Took about 1 hour of my time but imo, it was well worth it).

get spaces dude fits fine

I have had 32, 33 and 34 (and 35 I gues) GTRs to fit plates too and the easiest way to fit regual NSW premium plates to a 34 GTR is just to slightly bend each end about 10-15mmmm in from the end. just stick the plate in a small gap somewhere and bend it about 70-80 degrees. get rid of the covers, they are illegal, make the plate impossible to fit and to be honest don't look that great.

a little hard to make out in the pic, but that's the beauty of it. it's barely noticeable.

actually found a better pic to show it.

i see the bend. I don't like it

but I moved my plate up, the rare earth magnets are doing the job of spacers. They

are scary things. You can smash a finger if you get between two of them..

[jay1]

looks good

This one fits with no bending, and same with mine.

Thats a WA plate, might not be as wide as NSW ones
