Hey guys,

Can anyone enlighten me on how to mount a standard size WA plate on the rear of my 370GT? Dimensions of the WA plates are 372mm x 134mm.

I'm asking because I want to get some custom plates but to fit the standard plates when I got the car, (which are the same size) I had to bend in about 1 cm on each end of the plate to fit it. I would rather not have to bend the new custom plates and if I get the Acrylic ones it will probably be a nightmare to do. Actually now that I think about it, I need to get the acrylic ones so that I can get 9 letters on it.

Cheers

Al

some food for thought for you I guess...

I've got the really long euro style nsw plates

I used to work in a car yard & pinched a spare plastic mounting bracket from the workshop they usually just chuck out

I cut off the edges until it fit in the rego plate recess & it acts as a second mounting plate so the plate sits flush against the rear bumper.

A set of cylindrical spacers will do the same trick, just not as neatly :thumbsup:

      Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!

      Far out, that thing looks like some loose fun!  Nothing beats the rawness of a filthy old Nissan with zero aids to keep the wheels pointing in the right direction like modern "fast" cars!

      If there is no ridge at the inner edge of the battery tray (ie the battery tray is flat until it rolls off the edge into the open space of the bay), then no, it won't matter if it overhangs. If the battery would be propped up by any ridge, then that wouldn't be ideal. The bottom of the battery case would not be sharing the load. It would be concentrated on one end edge and a line across the bottom where it contacts the ridge. And possibly it wouldn't fit under the locking clamp either. I only upsized my battery to the max because: I sometime have to leave my car undriven for weeks at a time while I am away for work. On the previous battery (replaced a couple of months ago) I had to leave it undriven for months at a time!! I sometimes abuse the battery by running the stereo up loud for many hours while I wash and polish it. This is how I realised that the previous battery was on its last legs, because it got to the point where it was too weak to start after a couple of such. It was 7 years old though, so, fair play. Supercheap had a good special so the X was only ~$250 instead of ~$320, which seemed sufficiently less painful. I had already been using NS70 for the previous 2 batteries for most of the same reasons as above. The X is just the final boss level. I was contemplating going LiFePO4. But it's like $900 to do that properly, and while you save >10 kg of weight, you can likely only expect a couple of years longer life. So meh. Maybe when the price comes down further. Although, in ~7 years when I have to replace this one, I might not be allowed to drive such an anti-social vehicle anyway.

      If I get a larger battery and it hangs off the edge of the frame rail, would this be an issue? With FMIC a lot of people downgrade their battery size due to less room for shit, was wondering if it would affect anything but it would still be tight via the clamp.
