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?

would double-sided tape hold it? im just worried at high speeds if its gonna hold (on the track of course :P )

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...

    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
