Licence Plate Laws

[PrimeT]

Hey, I just a random silly question. I have recently learned the GTS-T license
plate flips up. If I were to install a actuator to mine as a joke what are the
odds of getting caught (do cops frequently inspect small things like that,
excluding getting it registered) and what would be the fine for having one?
This would not be for anything illegal simply for having one there to play
around with. Thanks all.

Edit: Totally spelled Licence wrong. >.<

Okay, I'll post what everyone is thinking.

This is pointless unless you're the transporter or Alex Roy.

[PrimeT]

Well obviously they are thinking that because I already said it would be pointless. But thanks for attempting to answer the question. Anyone know about the rules governing this?

[Dragon Humper]

There is no law that says you can't do that. Street Rod guys do it all the time. Just don't get caught driving around with the plate in the up position.

i dont know of exactly that law, other than that if you are planning to have 2 separate plates..ie your skyline plate and a random plate to anther vehicle. if you got caught you could get charged with Fraud and have your vehicle impounded..been there done that..lol

also i love the idea..i hope to see an DIY:P

and also just to add to the thread..i have received to tickets in the past 2 months for no front license plate..which i have no front bumper to attache it too..some cops are dix

[PrimeT]

LoL that sucks man. But thanks for the help guys. Wasn't planning on running them all the time up, just for some cheap laughs. Better luck with the cops.

Ive got the same sort of apparatus on my CBR600RR.. I use it for photo radar or... getting away from cops (which i DONT DO! ).. Anyways, it gets some serious attention from people sitting next to you in traffic until you boot off for the lane split and take off :P

You can definitely do it and get away with it, as ive never had a problem as of yet with the bike, and its pretty visible..

One way you can do it is run a 12 v source off the licence plate light to a small servo. Best and cheapest servos are Radio controlled aircraft/car servos. You can run the actuator so that it has an open/ close circuit instead of full range of motion. So in the end, T off servo's power source to a small switch at the front and give er' a flick when you need to.

I might look at it this winter, as Montreal is keen on keeping their photo radar for the next while..

I would rock this..

there is no law against it.. Its for "Show use"


however it could useful for certain toll bridges.. that are around.

ah yes, we had a convo about this ben a few weeks back at the thursday meet with john's friend from out of town who wanted to make a basic servo system for all of us.

Why would Nissan make it so our plates can flip up? Not for Photo Radar, would they?

I bet it's for "aerodynamics" at high speeds.

[supguyex]

nissan knew they were making the tools of the devil
hooray!

[M-type]

i would bet speed cameras, there all over japan, and being a tuner....on the jap scene
no..... no way do they speed...lol

I would say don't do it. Gettin caught with something like this is bound to get you in some sort of shitt and cops would find every little thing they could to inspect your vehicle further! As for making this a diy thread and have it stickyed I'm saying prolly not since illegal activity is not permitted on this site.

Its not illegal but there will be someone stupid enough to try and boost away from the cops, or something along the lines of that. It would be cool to have just have it, or if your building a show car. Small details can make a difference.
