any z licence plate ideas?

[echocluster]

i want to get a z licence plate. do you gyts have any good ideas?

[v12horse]

Hmm, I want to tell you some that I have been thinking of, but then I won't be able to get it. Oh well, here they are.

1. 2404lyf
2. 240z4lyf
3. s304lyf
4. Ilovemy240 (I think you can use the heart symbol for love to make it fit)
5. Zweet (thanks Zrush)


I can't think of anymore. How much is it anyway to get a custom plate?

-Ben
:classic:

p.s. I don't own a 240 so it is okay.

You can go to the DMV site and they have all the costs there and even a place to check combinations for availability.

Sorry, echocluster, I noticed you were in Canada after I posted this.:stupid:

[v12horse]

Now you guys got me excited. Thanks for the link Stephen. What does everyone think? Should I get a custom plate? Hehehehhe.

-Ben

[Zrush]

The '77 280Z has "Z Rush" and the '72 240Z has "Itsa 72Z".

I wanted "InZane" for the red Z but the State of Florida has cracked down on what they deem as offensive plates.....wha???

Some other cool plates...

Wa Wa Zit - I saw this on a Z06 Corvette
X TA Z - Was on a Z28 Camaro
Fazt Z
Zweet
Zpeed

Just about anything that has an "S" you can use for a "Z"

Vicky

[sblake01]

I have three of them, one on each Datsun. Keep in mind that you pay the fee that the plate originally costs every year! On top of your registration.:mad:

[gema]

Ones I am considering:


ALLZCHX -too funny, but my gf would kick my you know what
Z LIFE - probably what i'll go with
ZMEPASU - but what if i'm driving the speed limit?? (rare but it happens)
ZITMOVE - would look awesome if i broke down
ZMYZCAR - self explanatory

For not Z-themed:

DRVNDLY

[Gav240z]

In Australia and Victoria here we can only have 6 characters so this is what i've come up with in the past.

EATZED (AS in Eat led).
UZDUST (U see my dust).
ZHERGO (AS said above if i broke down 1 day lol).

GAV24T (So everyone will know :)).
L28PWR( L28 power).
70ZPWN (70's Porn) My g/f would hate this also.

Had a few more can't remember now.
A friend of mine had MYMADZ.
:D

[Fun_in_my_z]

Thats crazy! I was thinking of putting custom tags on mine in the future.
In Arkansas you can limit the numbers on your plates,but it cannot be more then the letters/numbers the regular plates have.

So ive got some options.But thats atleast a year away so i have to wight:( .

[Chino 240Z]

One letter to let the other car know what they've been past by, on the track.
LOL

[v12horse]

Here are some that I have seen in the states, but canada may not have them:

2fourty
2fourtyz
hls30
ZULATER
1GENZED

For me:

2sixtyz
RLS30-(I really like this one. It is so Z nerdy)LOL

[sblake01]

Here's the one on my 78 280. It has a double meaning:

I love da 'Z'

or

I love Daisey (my wife's name)

[sblake01]

And here's the one on my 79 810 Coupe. They were advertised back then as 'The family sedan with the heart of a Z.' In an attempt to keep it Z related I won't post a picture of my truck's plate wihich simply reads '64 L320.'

THANK YOU!! I knew I had seen this but could not find the URL, I'm so glad someone else could. It's a great place to get ideas for your own plates.

A friend of ours was over for dinner last night and I asked her about this; she's from Japan and currently teaching Japanese here to high school students. She could not figure out what you were talking about and I was of little help to her. She told me that the spelling out phonetically of the letter Z has several because it can be pronounced differently in different words. Was this what you were trying to convey...the phonetic spelling of the letter Z?



Also a plate I've seen at a building I used to work at was V8 Z

I'm assuming that they didn't like the drink that much but that the car had a V8 engine in it. ROFL

[seerex]

I believe hs30 is the members name that typed it but not sure , I am probably describing it wrong , maybe it was the translation for zcar , it just seemed diffrent and was gonna get a tag for my z with it on it and it also is very much how you interperate the words , I will keep searching :)

[seerex]

my friends used to want me to put on my first z the tag of "ZBEAST" always thought it was pretty kewl :)

[peterc]

Not a Zed related plate name, but one that I like anyway as its simple and deviously funny.

QQQQ


When someone asks what the plate means, you just smile and say "four Q" ROFL ROFL

Cheers,

Peter

[Fun_in_my_z]

I like it! Where do you guys come up with this stuffROFL

[Daniel]

I had a friend that wanted MNMNNMM or such pattern that way if he ever zipped away from a cop the odds were againist him calling in the tag correctly. Can't you hear him?? It wasMNNNMN no wait I think itwas NMNMNM....ROFL VWVVWV would be goodhuh? OH better yet!- UNKNOWN - That way the cop would call in 240 or 280 type Z car... Tag number unknown...:stupid: ROFL ROFL I did a similiar thing at one of those laser quest type things. when you shoot some one it appears in your gun display who you shot. I choose GAME OVER. When the enemy would see that and head for the door I would kill them off. It worked so well that the manager told the employees not to accept that anymore as a "code name". No problem.. My next name was SYSTEM RESET ROFL While they looked at the gun dispaly I killed 'em all.!!!

[GunnerRob]

My dad always referred to his (now mine) 280z as a Japanese Jaguar. I tried to get "JAP JAG" at the California DMV. They wouldn't issue it to me because DMV headquaters told them it might be offensive. I replied that because the XKE influence in the Z's design is a compliment to Datsun it would be just the opposite. They didn't agree so, no personalized plates. But, you're welcome to try it if you want to.

[lvmy240z]

how 'bout

lvmy240Z

[Bambikiller240]

I used to tell my (ex)wife that I was going to get HOTPUSZ as the plate on the first Z I tricked out :stupid: Figured that might keep her from wanting to drive it all the time!


guess I'd better go back to bed......... :D

[77 Z]

Unfortunately in my state you can only have 7 letters..and I keep coming up with really good ones that are 8 letters long..unless I drop back to 3-5 letters...you guys that are in the 8 letter states can really come up with some good ones.

CA is a 7 letter state also. I corrected my post. Had too many S's the first time around.:stupid: It never would have been approved by DMV anyway.

go to z wall (search the forums here for the url) to see other peoples z plates.

[zed240au]

the plate i had for 15 years until i got special interest reg was

zz 0240 haded giving them up but for half the rego and half the insurance the special interest rego was too good to knock back always liked ego 240


Mick

[Gav240z]

How about this 1.

NVADUN 6 letters and it stands for NEVER DONE.:cheeky:

[daddz]

How about:

GDZILLA, GODZLLA (this is one that I had in mind for a Turbo Z whether it is hybrid or not). I was originally going to have this installed on my '88 Supra Turbo since it was capable of roasting the rear tires all the way through second gear and into third for a brief second. Fun, fun....

FeO2 Z----the chemistry majors will have a good time with this one, unfortunately most states want to capitalize all of the letters.
LOL

[zhead240]

for u californee dead heads- gr8tful z

[Dtsnlvrs]

Lets see if anyone can figure this one out.

SUN-MOON

[Sean240Z]

I've got Ontario plates with

TWO 4TZ

[zhead240]

sean240- why ontario plates from alberta? were u from ont. if so where?

[Sean240Z]

Yes, I grew up in Cambridge, Ont. I'm in the Air Force so I move every 3-4 years. I'm on my way to Florida this summer!

Cheers,

Sean

[daddz]

Buck,
Nice one "SUN MOON"! I already know the answer so let's see who solves this puzzle.

ROFL

[seerex]

all right you guys made me go get one for my 240z , lol alot of pressure there , got HLS30 , figured those who truly knew would understand :)

[hls30.com]

I appreciate your taste in lisence plates-Copycat!

OK, we have two states with HLS30 plates-who is next!

Mine is in pre-post for my gallery.
Congratulations!
Will

[seerex]

ahh didn't realize I was a copycat , just saw it as one of the thoughts someone had listed , probably won't see mine too much :)

[hls30.com]

There are worse things-even though right now I CAN'T THINK OF ANY! ROFL LOL

Seriously, it was good enough for my plate, my user name, and my website. I had exactly the same thought, those that know:love: will get it, those that don't :stupid: will be clueless!



Will:

[v12horse]

Well, I went the HLS30.com way, and I got plates for my Z. "RLS30" I am quite exited to get them. Hehehehehe.

Ben:geek:

[hls30.com]

Well v12Horse, congrats, What about pictures?

I was at the Nissan parts counter here in ol' Champaign, IL yesterday, and the parts database only went back to S130 days. I had a heck of a time with the parts guy getting him to understand what an S30 was! Nissan guys need to take Nissan history lessons...

[v12horse]

Hey HLS30.com, I just ordered the plates last night, so it is going to be 8-12 weeks. errrrr

[hls30.com]

v12horse
If your order goes like mine, the plates will get to you on the exact day the temporary expires! If only the rest of the world could get mail delieveries to the day!

mdbrandy
Order the club cd, it has the Nissan assembly \breakdowns and Partnumbers, that way you can get exactly what you want instead of what a lazy parts counter guy think you want-been there too many times with Vaden Nissan here in Savannah-too many wrong parts with "No refunds on special orders"-I Just call Chloe at MidwestZ and, other than paying the bill, you're done(She has great prices too by the way)

Oh, I already have a fiche CD, and I walked in with part numbers. However, their computers have some superseding numbers that confused him, since their fiche only goes back to the S130.

And I actually went there to see how much more expensive they were than Chloe - answer: a lot (20% plus or minus)! That's what I figured, but you never know. I was just looking for some tuneup stuff this time. Believe me, Chloe probably knows my credit card number by heart by now!

[echocluster]

well i got my plates now. i picked 1 sweetz. they look good on the car but i cant take a pic of them yet because my camera is on the fritz.

thanks for all your replys.

I think the DMV rejected your proposal not for the combination of the words "JAP JAG", but for the use of the word "JAP".

The word "jap" is a racial slur.

An analogy would be if you wanted a plate to read, "KRAUT CAR" or "WOPMOBILE" or "NIGGERVAN". Get it?

[LisaB]

Here is what mine says:

1-RAD-Z

I see people reading it all the time in my rear-view mirror!

or you could use:

1-BAD-Z or
A-BAD-Z

[gealicpride]

when i had my 280ZX back in the late '80's i was going to borrow from Van Halen and do OU812IZ. the car didn't survive long enough....

[Zrush]

Scott wanted to get a plate that has "NO V8 OK". He really got tired of people telling him he should have put a 350 in there. Plate ideas for the Z car are endless.

I've got 240.DAT

DAT.240 had already gone (we're talking Western Australia here). I think that HS30 would be good...but probably a little obscure for non-Z prople.

[moyest]

I know DAT.240 - he's in my Z club.
Problem with "international" advice on plates is that people pronounce the letter "Z" differently - "zee" vs "zed".
But here are a few I really like:

"Z YA" or "ZEE YA"

"ZEDHOT" (especially if your Zed is red, as in "red hot").

"REDZED"

"EARLY Z"

"Z FIRST" (i.e. the first)

"ZED SLED" (if you can fit that many letters - can't in Australia)

"ZED HEAD" or "ZEDHED"

"ZED NUT"

"Z 1 Z"

[moyest]

Talk about "impulse buy"!!! Having read this thread, I bought a plate for my Zed (hey, that rhymes!!!) -

[moyest]

In New Zealand that plate cost NZ $567.00 (so about US $450).

My search revealed that you can buy the single letter "Z" for NZ$250,000.00!!! (for a car worth NZ$20,000.00!)

Now THAT'S overkill!! ROFL

:eek: What!!!!??? A custom or vanity plate costs THAT much. What's the justification from your DMV on that. Here in Florida there is no difference between a random plate or a vanity plate. It just takes awhile to get it.

Vicky

In other countries people are free to sell plates to other people which causes a market (with huge markups) for desirable plates.

Here's are some examples:

Vicky

Oh tell Scott I know exactly how he feels. I get people telling me just put a RB30Turbo in it or Rb20 turbo or RB26 and be done with it....

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I'm gonna build a monster of an L28 infact I'm in the process and finally no it's not a rotory how could anyone mistaken the Z for a mazda grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :finger:

[Zrush]

If you build the L28 out far enough it sounds just like a V-8. When we pull into a car show everybody swarms around this little red Z wanting to see the V-8 inside. We open the hood and they all just look stuned LOL . They can't believe the mighty inline 6 can rumble with the big boys. When and if this site gets the ability for sound, I'll load up the 77 280Z...........it's a beautiful noise :love:

V-8 Z...been done...been over done IMO

Vicky

[Gav240z]

I honestly couldn't agree with you more. I understand the thrill of a V8 but I love the exotic note of a hard tuned L-series. I have a video which I wish I could remember the link of. It has a nice Z running tripples and is running around a Nascar track and it has the sweetest sound I must have played it back 20 times+ . :classic:

[Fun_in_my_z]

Ill stick to my L series engine.
I heard one at a show. A L26. I thought it was a V8 :surprised
It had a nice set of tripple webbers on a E88 head. sounded awsome!
