im thinking of relocating my number plate to the RHS, just wondering how u guys mounted it.

i dont really wanna drill into my bumper in case i wanna move it back, but is that how every1 else is doin it?

i hope you mean passenger side ?

drivers side is ILLEGAL due to camera not being able to read it so cops will rape you if you hae it there

I had mine on the drivers side

I always carried around a speeding fine in my glove box that clearly showed the camera seeing my plate

never got in trouble but the guys at the pits made me move it to the middle before they would pass it

ill probly end up using double sided tape n see how that goes :)

as for it being illegal on the drivers side thats probably true, but a stupid law as ive driven past speed cameras on both the left and right hand side of the road.

cheers fellas

i dont think its illegal as such i was told ( by an inspector) that as long as the plate is straight and can be read from anywhere in front of the car its fine but the fuzz will still use it as an excuse to pull you over

ive put mine on the drivers side with a small bracket fixed into the underside of the bumper

double sided tape did the trick, excuse the crappy fone pic.

i recon the front end looks alot better now :D

of yeh i ended up using my apexi safc stand to hold on 1 side of the plate lol, came in handy

I had it on the drivers side...was there for 2 yrs.... multiple rbts later... then one officer mentioned to move it... i moved it then and there... he then complained the holes were it once was wasnt correct and I'd need a new front bumper... but as it is now the plate is on the passenger side and they have left me be since. just a thought.

All recent Alfa Romeos have their front plates on the left side. So, if some cop tells you that you cannot have it to one side, he/she is talking through the wrong part of his/her anatomy. I am sure there is some other make around that has a side-mounted front plate, which is on the right, but I cannot remember which one! The ADRs only require that the plate is parallel to your front axle (or some other definition of straight), i.e. it cannot be angled to one side, and vertical, i.e. it cannot be sloped back.

I have left mine on the middle, but the workshop moved it up, so only a third of it protrudes into the intake area. Some shims help overcome the indentation in the bar, so it can sit flat. A slight bend back at the bottom and top would help airflow.

Cheers.

I dont think rhs should be any problem at all,eg: a NISSAN nomad van is mounted stock on rhs. http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:6we0IF...33945-thumb.jpg this is the stock mounting spot..............so im guessing whats good for the goose is good for the gander...

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
