Hi,

Yep, asking for an 18RGTE number plate is the same as asking for "Destroyer of Planets" number plate. It is too awesome and too fearful for the general population.

If I got 18RGTE I wouldn't then have a car to put ORA28 on, and that would make ORA23 all lonely

Is that what you pay for them in Queensland? or is that what someone wants for them?

That's the standard price for prestige plates. Standard 3+2 or 2+3 plates are $405.

**Roscos** · 28-12-2010, 11:50 PM

You boys live in the wrong state, they are 1/4 of the price in Victoria and if you want slim line plates they are an extra $100 for 2 plates. And they call them custom plates down here.
So if you want 6 letters like l have, it's still $2295?

Yep 6 letters is a prestige plate and would be $2295. All 3 sets we have are $405 - MAG907, 74CEL, 89CEL. We don't pay extra for slim line though

Hey are the same as a Mitsubishi motor. Just go to repco and ask for some half moon grommets and see what they have

set the crank at tdc then simply put the cam notches straight up (set the pistons all down before you turn the cams or unbolt them to turn them so you dont bend vavles) , a straight edge across the notches works well, then slowly turn the gears one tooth at a time until you can get the pin holes to line up to put the pin in.

Are they the same as the 18r halfmoon plugs, the local car shop has those in stock...
