Cos it was NSW, you cant sent a letter of dispute to be reviewed like here in the ACT. I've tried before. You can go to court for it, and plead your case - still paying basic court costs, or you can pay the fine.

*edit* I was advised if take it to court, the judge will look at your driving history and other credentials, and there is a chance you may have your fines RAISED rather than removed.

if this one of 31 i would have just tex-screwed on to the bumper. lol

who cares if you have to drill a hole? the number covers up everything anyway. Certainly not an excuse for not attaching a plate for 4years...

Dispaying a number plate on the dash inside a high performance car is just asking for trouble IMO. Just buy a thin number plate from the motor registry and display it like I do on my R33 GTR S1 (see pic). As for the fine - I would probably just cop it and never do it again (lesson learnt). Do you really want the hassle of going to court and running the high risk of losing and then having to pay all the court costs and the original fine? Ten years time you're not going to care about any of this lol move on

Some 3M double sided tape will hold the plate on just fine. I had my GTSTs parte held on in the same spotas the above pic with double sided tape for over 2 years.just get the plastic ones made up without hoes drilled

option 1 - pay the damn fine

option 2 - pay the damn fine

option 3 - pay the damn fine and stop complaining

In terms of mounting the plate, get two pieces of metal, bend them into an "L" shape, drill holes on the bottom and the top, screw the bottom underneath the front bar and the plate to the metal. Offset it on the left or right of the front bar.

There's a boat load of adr's and shit that number plates need to comply to. Like must be parallel to the road, visible from X angle either side of the the car at Y distance from front and rear. Plate must be RTA issue and not made by ya mate at the sign shop (rapid now pick up on fake plates). Plate must be up right also not lying on your dash or on your massive fiberglass front air dam. They sell "drift spec" off centre plate brackets you screw under the edge of your bumper where you dont see, get one.

^ ^ ^ exactly.

In which case, the only way IMHO that you can get off is for a psychologist's report that can convince the judge that you suffer from a rare condition, "number-plate-on-front-bar phobia" or perhaps, "number-plate-on-dashboard obsession"

And just in case you are convinced that the above are suddenly plausible, it means that you're simply looking for a loophole.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
