Hello everyone,

I have a red ZR6 and was hoping to get some personalised number plates here in Brisbane.

I've just moved here from Melbourne and wanted to know if - www.ppq.com.au - is really the only place to get them from?

I was hoping to get 'DHARSH' in silver letters on a black background (what do ppl think about its suitability colour-wise?) - but the site quotes me a price of $2295.

I had mates that had plates done in VIC for a lot cheaper - so could anyone please clarify this.

Cheers

Just a little more expensive than your budget?

Yeah, Personalised Plates Queensland is the only place where you can get proper personalised plates for QLD. The prestige ones certainly expensive compared to other states aren't they? At least the prestige plates come in a full framed enclosure. Looks much better than an aluminium plate; but then again, at that cost you would expect that at the least.

what do ppl think about its suitability colour-wise?

I reckon nothing looks more classy then silver writing on a black background. With the black trim on the Aurion, the number plate will fit nicely. If you need an idea on how it will look, just check out mine out.

Luckily not. One massive plate payment only.

Pretty expensive fee upfront :(

In NSW its about $560 a year for custom coloured plates

i guess in the long run your better off if you get something worth keeping :)

I paid $350 for mine a couple of years ago, one off payment. Decent enough looking plate, see if the footy fans can see what the letters and the numbers mean........I had mates coming up to me and saying "they aren't your initials man, what does it mean"..........

$2000+ is a bit rich for plates i think, but alot of people pay it so its personal preferance. If you want somethin personal or to do with your name you really got no choice and i think people with ones like that is pretty neat!! :P

I recently got a personalised plate last week. i sat it in the window for the auscam cruise on sunday because the transport department isnt open on the weekend <_<

my plates are 313GNT (ELEGANT)

some people get it straight up some people struggle.. wat do yous think?

Hey eSexSix,

I think you should post up a pic of your plate/car so we can tell...

I've seen a couple of instances where the letters/numbers combination to spell out a word looks pretty decent yea - like the other day I saw sofie/sophie on a plate as "S0F4Y" and it registered instantly as the name...

I think it works out a lot cheaper up in QLD if you do a 2number/3letter combo, or 3number/2letter - like $4-500 as opposed to $2300 - but the combinations I've tried for 'dharsh' haven't really done it for me - I'm prob just gonna have to save up for it - I doubt anyone would choose that plate so I'm pretty safe waiting I think.

Hey,

well it wasn't too much of a hassle for my speakers as I got it done professionally.

it wasn't really an issue because i don't have near enough knowledge to work on my car myself.

it turned out great because i wanted a single DIN head unit which was custom mounted really well.

the only real advise i can give about speaker installs is that make sure you measure the depth of whatever you buy because there isn't much room for the rear ones - i would have liked to have 6x9s all round, but i couldn't fit any pioneer ones without losing the stock covers. I have to admit though that it does sound really good with 6x9s upfront and 6s in the rear, with the sub - cause everyone that has been in my car has commented how good quality the sound is.

i think there have been a few posts re-speaker installs in the forums though - just do a quick search and i think you'll get some pretty good advice

looking forward to seeing the pics of your plate/car

A long-time friend of mine organised for me to be able to get a combination I'd be hoping for in the standard issue plates for some time. :whistling:

He was able to find the customer service centre where that combination was going to be issued from and spoke with the management there and they held it aside for me and I drove a (long-ish) drive to pick them up. B)

Got them attached to my vehicle and then customised them,next step is to have them personalised and then get a version that has no diamond between the letters and it's all done... ;)

A year ? Definitely they want to make money there. Down in Victoria, depending on type, color .... you have to pay from around $400 to $700 and can keep it for life, only pay a bit more to re-register it to other car. Can order it online from this:

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
