Andrew240Z Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Hey All, My 240 is in currently having the body re-sprayed (back to bare metal- the whole deal), and while I'm at it thought a bit of a general spruce up was in order (17 inch mags, Tokico Illumina adjustable shocks and springs, reco'd dash, vented/cross drilled rotors and 4 pot callipers front brakes and miscellaneous other shit). Its been about 6 months now and I miss driving it heaps! :'( Anyway, thought I would look up personalised plates in VICROADS for it and found DAT24O (That's letter O, not Zero) was not taken, so I bought em! Just can't believe nobody has done it. So keep an eye out in a couple of months for an orange/red 240Z with DAT24O plates (black and white). Can't wait to get it back on the road! BTW, anyone looking for an incredibly detailed body shop look up Paul at Rankins Restorations, Bayswater. If you are prepared to part with $$$$$ to have it done right, he's the guy for the job. Incredibly fussy, a perfectionist. To the point where he found some small faults in the paint finish due to an issue with the product and he took it all back to bare metal and started again, at his own expense. Delayed the job, but at least I know it's going to be 100%. You don't hear about things like that much these days. 1st class! Cheers, Andrew. Quote
George Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 congrats. now you are part of the leet gits with personal plates. Quote
Andrew240Z Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 F*ck! Rain on my parade why don't ya... Quote
stevo_gj Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I don't think George was trying to rain on your parade man. I reckon most members on here have personalised plates including me and I LOVE them. I got myself 26OZE which I'm pretty happy with. Quote
reverendzed Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Hey andrew, great stuff! how long did they take to get after you ordered? Rev. Quote
George Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 F*ck! Rain on my parade why don't ya... haha Sorry, I should have included a smilie at the end to show my jest. I'm one of those leet gits and didn't mean anything by it. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted January 14, 2009 Moderators Posted January 14, 2009 Well done...the original DAT240 (green and white) has been gone for a long time. Another good one I was thinking of was O24OZ which is still available last time I checked. I know A24OZ is gone, roman numerals I've seen too many times and every possible way to spell Datsun with numbers! I would love to get CBFED but the wife thinks otherwise.... Quote
mrp69 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 ive got MR 24 OZ looks good i like it and george is a street racer lol Quote
Mr240z Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 At least we dont pay the big $$$$ you do (george) lol Quote
mossy Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 George did you ever try to get V8ZED plates? Quote
George Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 nah. i bought mine way before i was into z's. i had them on a skyline r33 for a while and when i got the z i put them on and... well i've sort of tried to sell them (i do think that personal plates can be wanky) but they belong to the car now. hard to separate them you know. i just wish it wasn't so expensive. rego is bad enough and when you have to pay 400 on top for seemingly nothing it hurts. such is life. Quote
Andrew240Z Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 No Worries George! Sorry for the misunderstanding! Also, Rev I got them inside 10 days or so. I thought because I ordered at Xmas it might take longer but they came in right on schedule. Vicroads say they take about 10 days which isn't bad I reckon. Good work guys, glad to hear i'm not the only leet git out there! Andrew. Quote

That sucks you guys have to pay a fee each year, here its a one off fee of $495 Well done on the plates Andrew, your lucky you got them because I almost ordered them a month ago but changed my mind at the last minute Quote
