Hi There,

I'm just about to buy some premium plates (white and black ones).

It says they are slim size for the front, does anyone know if they fit into the standard R33 gts-t series 2 bumper (with out having to cut them or bend them?)

What have people done??? Any photo's would be good...

Cheers

Rob

please post if anyone knows. ta.

Thanks for the help...

Ps. I know the premium plates (white back ground and black letters) are about $60 bucks and you can not choose what you get, is this the same as the black background and white letters???

thanks skyline33 and riggaP!

i would have never have thought of something so simple as a little spacer.

does anyone have any recommendations what i make it out of? i dont wanna scratch my paint. maybe if i do use metal i firstly spray in in rustproof then paint it black? is it possible to buy plastic spacers for my front plate?

wow.. 60bucks!!! they cost $110 i think for a slimplate with numbers u cant choose in WA.

in perth.. i know that if u get the black background and white letters u get to choose your letter and number combinations but it costs an extra $50. so its about $160 here.

if u go the full custom they cost $275 in perth, thats for steel paltes not polycarbonate.

Just use shock eye bushes to space the plate, the kind that press in from either side. They are rubber and won't damage your paint and when used in conjunction with longer bolts are a cost effective option. Get them from any good spare parts joint.

In QLD (not sure about other places) you can only get a slimline plate for the front, the rear has to be standard. Or what they cal "yankee style". This plate is taller and not as wide as normal aussie plates, and fits in the space at the back perfectly.

But the front slimline is usually longer than the space allocated. What I did on my Bomex bar was cut out some hard plastic (think it was the devider from a wheely bin) to fit in the space and screwed the plate on through the plastic. Bit dodgy, but is never to be seen again and cost nothing.

Robo, you CAN choose what appears on your NSW Slim-line "Premium" plates, and here's the link to it...

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/nd/nd4/ndconfig....LPS/pgCarPlates

It's got all the details you were asking for, including price, dimensions (measure the space you have on your front bar), etc.

Hope this helps...

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
