Hello

When the wife and I picked up our V35 sedan from the car yard, they have bent the outside of the number plate to fit it in. It is an offence to modify your number plates (up to $320 fine). I know the US plates will fit but the wife is not keen on getting personalised plates. What have other people used to space the number plate forward? I was thinking some perspex or the like.

My 180sx has its rear plate cut to fit in the rear bumper... never had a problem with the plate being cut even when I was defected by the cops, or when I was @ the pits this is in QLD however

Thankyou for the replies. The car is going in today at an import specialist (compliancer/mechanical workshop) to get the once over, as I don't fully trust the people I got it from. He has the right brackets to sort it out. He was surprised to hear that the compliancer didn't mount it properly (it has only been complied for approx. 2 weeks) as he said it is part of compliance.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
