Good luck trying to change user name, im trying to do it now but funkymonkey wont reply.

as long as the custom plates arnt completley different colour scheem to the car they would be good (IMO)

I had mine changed just a few days after I requested it here

When I purchased my car it came with GTR.092 plates, They wern't bad I suppose but I went with BB plates slim front square rear and I think they suit it to a T.

I probably wouldn't...

Those plates sound crazy familiar... did you buy the car recently?

The decision of custom plates or not for me comes down to how noticeable do I want my car to be.

If you are not worried about being pulled over and defected, or not worried about members of the public reporting you for 'hoon' behaviour then by all means get a custom plate. If you want your car to remain a bit more anonymous then I would suggest sticking with a boring standard plate that is more difficult for people & cops to remember.

i totally agree, most of the time its more a ricer thing... anything with DRFT on it these days is asking for trouble especially if you dont drift...

my missus has custom plates which suit her n the car,, they dont represent a false thing... what would noxcuse be about on a stock car?

slim plates look the best

Totally agree.

Custom plates on any sort of performance vehicle are a cop magnet. I liken custom plates to walking around with your junk hanging out.

You may have a handsome face & a hot body, but that's not why people will remember you.....

dunno eh

I've been rocking the Dohmar plates for 18 months and only been pulled over twice for bretho and rego checks...

Never been queried regarding defects, never been drug tested, never been given the 3rd degree - all the police I've dealt with have been really professional and amiable too, I can't rate their conduct higher to be honest. I really cannot complain, and I cant see how my plates are any worse - if anything, its easier for a cop to type into their vehicle computer and pull up my driving history and see that I've been a good lad...

on the other hand, if ur king dori superstar, u might have uh... issues

-D

come to think about it i dont know why i went 'DRTY 2' when i had the 32?

the car was pretty much dirty all the time when it was dark blue but when i got it painted it almost never looked dirty even though i washed it less then i did before it was painted.

didnt represent anything to me at all and i didnt really like them all that much haha :D

    • Forgot to update. I ended up removing it and found out that it's dead. The car seems to run better than it did, although I haven't driven it hard yet. Literally just a flow restriction.
    • Sounds like the rack seals blew.
    • ^ This is all good advice. I can imagine that there's some passive components in the HVAC controller that run that PWM output that could die, or suffer bad solder joints. It can be worth opening it up, taking a schmooze around looking for swollen electro caps, evidence of liquid escape anywhere, tracks that have been hot, lifted, cracked, etc. A DMM might not be suitable for seeing if the PWM output is pulsing. Might be too fast and too low voltage for a DMM to keep up. An analogue voltmeter might give a better hope. I use a handheld oscilloscope (<$100 from Aliexpress if you want something cheap). A DMM might see the voltage across the motor flicker. Otherwise, as above. If you can successfully see PWM action, then the control side should be good. If you can't see it with what you have, you might need to step up the instrumentation used, as above. Beyond that, and dbm7's advice on testing the motor directly, you're down to looking for broken wires, corroded connector pins, etc.
    • So Thanks for the comments etc. To follow up on this, we went down the path of fitting a divider down the middle of the external pipe that was added to the exhaust manifold and the divider went from very close to the external wastegate all the way up to the "V" part where the pipes from each side of the manifold joined. After this modification it was finally in a position to do the dyno-tune with some degree of success. Top end power was down about 10kw (250rwkw down to 240rwkw) I believe from previous but it seems to be more responsive lower down and at least it is now driveable and fun and back on the road to be enjoyed. Apparently the timing couldn't be run the same as it was running into knock and boost was down about 1psi. For all we know this could have been from the fuel being a bit older, or perhaps some slight complication from the new head gasket as we didn't have compression figures from before that mod to compare. I'm no mechanic and this is second hand info but I just wanted to follow-up to those that commented or read the original post with interest. After so many months of stuffing around this is a big win. The interesting part was most of the info around this was gained from information around Barra motors and not GTR as the manifold setup on the Barra with single turbo was more similar.  Thanks for those that helped with info.

    • G'day ... first up, I very much doubt that's a resistor network (as used also for this job), but the part# looks right. The description of 'power module assembly' looks to be nissanese for 'PWM driven, ground switched, DC motor speed controller'.... the circuit in the schematic kinda infers that's the case... ...with the transistor symbol appearing in the unit described here as 'Fan Control Amp(lifier)'....being driven by pin20 on the HVAC unit,  and a feedback signal on pin19 from the motor negative terminal for some reason (might be motor fault detection, maybe they detect commutator switching to determine motor revs as well, I dunno)... but if they are  counting commutator spikes, a bad segment (or really worn brushes) will throw a spanner in the works... The motor itself will as said be brushed DC with segmented commutator, rated at 12VDC nominally ~ now-a-days I just unplug them, determine the positive wire, and hook them up to a variable power supply and find out how much current they draw, if they work etc etc ...you can also check for bad segments...ie; set the power supply up to feed 1volt @ 2amp max, then watch the wattage count as you slowly rotate the fan blower motor through a complete revolution ; any bad/dead segments will be clearly evident...some folks would just say determine the positive wire, and feed it battery voltage, and if fan spin, you've got a win...<grin>... well, at least that infers it should do something when plugged back in, and the HVAC unit commands it to run... and if it doesn't, you suspect the module, but you should check the PWM signal on pin20 is actually present, and if it is, blame the module ...
