Hi All,
Someone mentioned the change in private plates and what you are allowed to have and I couldn't find anything about this on the dpi website so thought I'd email them.. What I sent... is it true there will be no more car specs allowed on number plates? Like engine (RB25DET)or reference to car brands ie FORD or HSV etc etc???? This is what i got back.. The Department has always restricted the use of words with Makes of vehicles within the plate number. However from January 2008 the Department have also restricted the issue of Models of vehicles that do not have three additional characters with the model characters. The additional three characters must contain minimum one alpha and number. Also the additional characters must not be make or model related to a vehicle So who can make sense of that? LOL -------------------- The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

I'd interpret that as;
Plates like FORD, HOLDEN etc are not allowed as they are classed as names. However FALCON35I is allowed, and FALCON351 is not allowed. See? -------------------- HKS Powered. 350rwhp screamer-spec. Like your mum.

I know you are not allowed anything with GTR in it as Nissan has set of copyright restrictions or something like that.
Mike has battled with them over this and its not possible for him to get what he wants. Mike, shed some further light on this? -------------------- |

^ what he said
My money is on the fact that the licensing dept has seen what has been happening with the auctions of private plates, and are planning a new release of limited editions to make some moolah. fkrs  --------------------  |

Guys,
The reason behind the rule changes, has got to do with IP and what they believe to be their property. Nissan and Holden have both filed lawsuits against DPI and in March DPI settled for a sum of close to 2.5Mil in regards to a claim filed. NISSAN have claimed IP on: GTR 35 GTR GTR 35 R35 Nigel even tried 23 GTR as 23 is Japanese is Ni-San Fail boat on that one too. DPI was going to take action against Nigel on behalf of NISSAN for the claimed infringement by Nigel. This has all been worked out now. But it is only in W.A As there are already 35 GTR's kicking around with similiar plates as above. All plates currently out, will not be affected, but new plates will be harder to get through.
