Hey, this may sound like a stupid post, but i was just wondering, here in sunny old Brisbane, do we need to have our licence plates on the front of the car?

Can we only have the rear, or am sounding so stupid right now that no one will respond?

i would like it if someone could respond to me.

thanks

yea i'd say there is a special ruling for porsches and ferrari's, that and or lapd dont feel the confidence to pull over a 250+k car to fine him for not having a front number plate...the guy would probably laugh at the fine anyway. Having said this officer Hahn of qld's finest had no problem handing me a $120 for it....I was told this was the cheapest option and also the one without any points, so id be keeping that front numberplate handy.

I get a guy coming thru work every arvo im there with a plastic front plate. white background, black numbers, i asked him what the police think of it, he said he got pulled up a while back and they said can you put the rear DOT issued one back on, but the front was fine? Food for thought,

You'll find that porsche and fazz are no different to normal cars in relation to front plates. It's just that the fine are so small and carries no demerit point, so alots of the don't bother, or go the way of a stick on. Imagine drilling holes into a front bar of these cars

just an indicator of pricing of some exotic front bar.

porsche = 12k

ferrari = 24k

lambo murc =38k

lambo gal. = 6k

Also drilling holes in them, void your waranty on that part of the car.

So yeh, stick on are good enough for me atm. As I am a model law abiding citizen. Who has the utmost respect of the law and every officer that enforces the law.

;):D:)

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
