Been on the site and have seen some great cars with super mods, that R34GTR meet and greet had some great shots.

BUT what I have noticed with a LOT of these well cared for 32 33 34 Skylines they seem to just nail the Rego Plates on and it does not seem to matter where.

Everything looks perfect and these slightly bent and twisted Rego plates. I mean personalized plates that do not come cheap. Some are just put anywhere?

Is there a reason for this or just something that gets over looked :yucky: Maybe taken off when racing???post-52098-0-77663900-1396914475_thumb.jpg

Probably because the std place for plates obstructs airflow to fmic, i mounted my front number plate at the bottom of the plate to raise it into an unused area and looks decent...

May need to make a custom bracket to fit it where and how you want

I would rather put it where you have it, especially if you push your car hard, waste of time having a large air opening if you fill half of it in with a plate?

You can see where I ended up putting mine on, I was lucky the spoiler/plate was the right size for it, probably stuff it if I hit something but that would be the least of my worries,haha

It is not so much where they put it but the condition the plate is in, this is on many beautiful machines, buffed and waxed , motor you can eat off and a crumpled plate, shit hit it with a hammer a couple of times and put it in a plate holder, about $30 and looks a crap load better, I might be a little anal but it spoils the look of some of these great looking cars :woot:

    • 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 come 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.
