Hey just wondering cause i never bought custom plates before, could you buy a custom plate and reserve it without fitting it onto a car? Also the cost is it just $200 and you pick up your plates or is it a fee for the plates themselves plus the annual $200? cheers

All i know is replacement plates are $35, not 100% sure but the initial $200 should include the plates , yes they can be held onto without installing on car .

Would you know if i could just go buy a custom plate and have it reserved until i decide to fit them onto a car? or would i need to exchange it for the current plates i got registered? reason asking cause im driving my parents spare car until i get my own but i kinda want to reserve a plate now so ill have it by the time i get my car before it gets taken or something.

Pretty sure that you need to put your new plates on within a week or so as your plates are attached to your car registration. You will need to surrendder your old plates within a timeframe (2 weeks AFAIK). Also pretty sure that you can't reserve any plates.

^^^ Correct, you cant buy new custom plates unless you can register the car their going on, so in that case you need a car rego for them to change over to the new ones, you cant just go in and buy plates, unless you register a car for them to go on.. and depends on the plate you want, my old IGTR32I ones were $280 a year, new ones are only $200 a year.. think you pay an extra $80 for an extra number/letter (7 all up instead of 6), but not sure on that..

You cant reserve them , payment must be made for yearly contract of $200 ,

payment of custom plates must overlap current registration if they go on a car - "pain in the ass"

At the end of the day they dont need to go on a car at all , you can put them on a wheelie bin , you own the contract

6 characters and below is $200, 7 characters is $255.

thats wrong actually.. you cant keep them yourself but you can store them at SAreg as long as you have payed the year infronts money on it.. it doesnt have to be registered to a vehicle

its not restricted to customs either.. been through it not long ago

I really don't know if I can justify another $200/yr on my baby. I guess I could go one of the non-yearly fee ones ...

Could get like JRMS-34 or JENS-34 but then people might think I'm 34yo :P .. hmm .. JEN-R34 would be win, but that would be yearly fee. Gheys.

next chance i get ill just pay a few years in advance, then i can regret it like all the money i spend haha

mines good cos it doesnt apply to one car. eg JRM 34 would be a bit strange on a S15.. RIPP3R goes on anything, that if you plan to keep it for a long period ect

      Does anyone know whats happening with harness on drivers door?

      The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.

      Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!

      So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
