yes, but you only get back the cost of your plates, which is about $30

I've had 17 sets delivered,but they have now put a hold on anything that replaces an I with a 1.I've already sold some of mine that have 1's in place of I's,the last 5 sets I'm waiting for include V1PER which I have been offered $5000 for.They were meant to have a decision by last week.

Just got these delivered this morning:

hey hus, you've met me, so i hope you can take this as the joke it is...

if you put those plates on a car you drove around, that would not be a wise move in my opinion :P

i still reckon its the stupidest thing and biggest waste of money

$5000 - $495 = $4505

for doing practically nothing...doesnt seem so stupid to me

LOL, dont worry mate, i'm not that stupid :D Its for a mate of mine, he's going to put it on his Porsche 911 :)

Im so over these plates after 2 months im still waiting havent got a single plate :)

If u go N1NE11, i think we should get our plates with 1 in them.

Im surprised they allowed N1NE11, cos they have some pretty pathetic 'offensive' rules.

Ive got ST1 WRX on order but its being followed up cos WRX sounds like wrecks, effing pathetic!!! They should catch on to what the plate means!!!

So true lol...

I didn't even think Porsche..i was thinking September 11....lol.

But yeah, I'm surprised they didn't deem those plates as being "offensive"

Dont think N1NE11 was easy, after sending many letters, faxes, and phone calls convincing them that its going on a 911 porsche, finally they approved it. They called me on Friday (2 months after) i ordered GDZ1LA and ONV1SA saying its all good now. Its a policy by Vic roads to call everyone thats waiting by end of this coming week to notify them of the outcome. Inside birdy tells me all your plates with the number 1 will be approved, unless they deem it offensive.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
