Gday guys..

This is a question for the guys that have been here a bit longer than most of us (in japan that is).. Im after a japanese numberplate for my car back home in brissy.. is it possible to get one from somewhere for next to nothing like a wrecker or somewhere.. or have one made up? or is it better to just find a car thats been dumped (there seem to be a few out this way..) and borrow its plate? Any ideas?

Thanks =)

There are plenty of dumped cars around, but simply unbolting one and taking it would definately not be an option as technically they are Japanese government property. You'll get picked up at the airport, and I hate to think what would happen after that.

Right... dumped cars near public spaces (parks) and alleyways etc usually have been deregistered and therefore have no plates.

But as Rob said a screwdriver and the cover of darkness is all you need to score yourself a (front) set... no that I condone that sort of thing, but it's about the only way you can get plates.

Btw, I have 'stolen' plates before (confession #1) and I have successfully gotten through Japanese Customs at the airport with, what, 7 or 8 plates in my suitcase... IG if they're stacked together they look like a metal box in the X-ray machine so it is possible to get through customs with them*

*No responsibility is taken for someone stupid enough to do what I posted above.

hehe i could just imagine rezz playing dumb when the customs guy opens his suitcase in australia and a tonne of numberplates tumble out. :) honestly they are just some trinkets i found in a gift shop officer

could you not post them back over to aus? when xrayed they must just look like a flat metal plate so noting too conspicuous could be anything really

Question...WHY?!?!?!

It's Ghey! The same topic was brought up on PF.

Some plates that have made it on cars to Aust would have been by accident.

They removed your plates when you deregister, also you get soem money back for Shaken.

They take the plates back so they can keep an accurate record of how many cars are actually stolen.

Justin, BTW did you check if the dealer plates are still in you car? If you find them give Steve a call, he's sweating over where they are. Transport Dept also giving him a hard time for losing them and a mark on his company.

email me if you guys are looking and i will try to help you out!!! I know that when you deregister a car that you can keep one of the plates.... that is a fact! if it is a matching set that you are after, then that can only be done illeagly! as stated here they are property of the government. If you do not care if they match or not then i can get you some with no prob... It is cool to keep one and then turn the other in when you deregister... PM me and let me know.

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
