Number Plate Vs Airflow

[Johnny]

Have you seen the number plates in Japan? They are huge.

Slim line NSW plate mounted in original position doesnt block off that much.

+1 but then again japans temps are very low compared to the australian conditions; GTR's imported into the euro market are generally fitted with extra oil coolers to cope with highway temps.

ummm if you watch ignition dvd, there was an aus time attack gtr which went over to compete and when they tuned the car fo japans conditions it gained something like 50kw and intake temps fell to 12degrees.

On a hot day here we see 40-50+ intake temps, cold night??? im not sure, ill take a look (probably 20-30)

Why are GTRs not fitted with oil coolers here? Perhaps it's because Europe has better roads and average speeds are faster (especially Autobahns). Sustained driving at high speed would push temperatures up.

According to average max/min temperatures Japan gets hotter in summer and colder in winter than here. Saying Japan doesn't get hot is a myth. However Sydney has some mild days in summer and some stinkers, Japan may consistently be around the 30C mark during the day and seldom get much hotter.

i think we should all drive with the side mirrors folded in also.

I've got mine mounted to the side also. It's better than having half the cooler blocked off. Although I think there are legal issues involved if the plate is not clearly viewed from some angles.

funny thing is.. ive seen people do that LOL

You should all make more money and get smaller number of characters in your plates.

I suggest R

plenty of flow around that.

The Top Secret 350Z used to have its plate on a hinge so when it got enough airflow it folded itself up out of the way.

Thought that was pretty cool.

bought mine with it right mounted, but my qld plates are the same size front and back so im glad its not in the middle...
