Called up Vicroads a week ago and paid for N1NE11 to go on a friends Porsche 911. Just got a call now saying the plates are deemed inappropriate due to Sept 11 bombings. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Dont remember saying I was selling.

A plate is only worth what somebody is willing to pay.

I am very attached to my N1SMO and R1GTR plates,plus afew others I have coming.

I dont need to sell,plus ELV1S will be good for me.

LONG LIVE THE KING.

Whats stupid Paul,I dont need to sell these plates,if someone wants them they can pm me,ELV1S will be going on ebay,as will some of the footy ones,I'm only posting up car related ones (besides ELV1S).

The reason I have not put prices on these is I dont believe a forum is the best place to sell plates,as most of us are still modifying our cars,but if someone is interested,pm me.

I'm planning on owning all 3 GTR's,hence the ammount of Nissan related plates :)

Here's some more STUPID plates,just for you :)

The guy that bought R32/R33 and R34 GTR I am told spent around 25K on different plates as an investment :)

Now thats some serious Elvis love :lol:  :lol:

That may be the case and I know of several higher than that but in the UK we cannot buy a custom plate that has much variation for a flat rate like you can here. Private plates have a proper market of their own like used cars that I havent seen here. ELV11S would have been standard issue and working roughly in years it would have been the late 70's.

The less letters and numbers, the more cost. I believe the highest if not one of the highest was CK1 which was on a jag. OAS1S was also very high and bought by the drummer of Oasis in the late nineties.

Sure you might get a bit more but people can think again and get a fancy plate for $500.

Got more plates today.I've covered my costs with my non car specific plates,so if anyone wants any of the plates I've displayed in this thread,pm me.

I've given the F100 plates to my mate,alot of the others are available.

yep still think its stupid

I agree with you paul. People that would pay soo much for plates have more money than brains. Even though i have a custom plate i dont go crazy and order 1000 plates in order to sell it. jeez.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
