I tend to use small brackets that screw into the underside of the top section of the bar and then are bent upwards, keeps the plate away from the bar. Works a treat. About 45cents each from bunnings

thats what i did too, except mines side mounted

Hey Guys and Girls;

I solved this problem with the slimline number plate mounts about a month after I got my R33 typeM. What you need to do is duck into a good mountain bike shop and buy your self two Minora water bottle holders and use the stainless steel mounting brackets to mount the plates. The bracket is exactaly the right width for the number plate holes and the bracket bolts straight onto the type M bar mounting the plate right smackbang in the middle of the center bar section that runs in the middle of the large opening of the bar.

Hope this helps

the 'Slimline plates' are a joke IMO. i went to get some today but found they're the exact same width as regular plates (i.e 372mm i think, the slot on my car is only about 350mm) Worst part is the only way to get a shorter width plate is to pay $627 (this is the ACT by the way) for custom plates!

What a joke! you can't have a standard number plate made shorter... and by the way, cutting them is illegal but go figure, the people down at the shopfront had NO IDEA about bent plates. Guess i'm just going to have to bring the plate forward. This is bloody stupid though, they should be able to make the plates shorter instead of stuffing around and paying $627 odd dollars for something i didn't want in the first place.

True they're Japanese plates, but how hard would it be to make our plates 25mm shorter? Honestly? is that too much to ask? obviously it is. one size, unless you want to get custom plates. Why make them slimmer and not shorter? that makes no damn sense.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
