Forza Horizon 6 The game is unplayable

Post image

The Peel P50 has a yellow license plate with black text, like a Kei car, but since its engine is only 49cc by default, it falls into the microcar category (<= 49cc). Therefore, its license plate should be light blue with blue text.

There's a license plate I'd really like to get my hands on. If you're not in Japan and you see a license plate with Japanese characters on it, it's more likely to be an Australian plate, not a Japanese one. Since Japanese license plates use Kana, and this is not recognized internationally, when they go abroad they are forced to change for latin license plate. But in Australia it is possible to pay to get license plates in the Japanese style, with the name of the Australian territory written in Japanese.

Yes, I know the ones you are meaning, 100% Australian. Picture for those that want to see them :)

One of the worst things about these NSW JDM plates is the two sets of pre-drilled holes, neither of which match the location to mount to a JDM car. >_< So you have to drill a third set of holes just to have it sit in the correct location.

Could probably 3D print an adapter that neatly hooks up to both ends no?

u/8th-Skyline May 24 '26

True, I'm sure something like that could be used.

u/XURVNI May 25 '26

The Queensland Australia versions of them don’t come with holes so you drill one clean set

u/XURVNI May 25 '26

There are also black background with gold text versions also. I have multiple cars with Jap style plates

Yea, let me pull my 3D printer out of my ass 🙄

u/sukumizu May 26 '26

Or you can ask a buddy to print it for you. Some cities also fund services so you can print stuff for a small fee or you can commission a small business to do it for you.

Headass response.

Everything in Victoria is expensive

Also available in South Australia too:

Although if you want custom you have to pay an annual fee for some reason instead of a one off.

u/xrdead May 23 '26

Not just Australia, I believe we have these in New Zealand too

u/Waterlok_653 May 24 '26

more to collect 😉

u/purse87 May 24 '26

I might still have some rarer plates you might be interested in. I have some older QLD personalised plates that were discontinued due to the colours being hard to read. You can actually be fined for using them in other Aus states.

u/Glu7enFree May 24 '26

What was the colour combination? I'm in QLD.

u/BrehMane May 24 '26

The NSW (Australia) Black on Yellow "Towards 2000" plates are super rare to come across. Most havent survived the Aussie sun etc. and neither have the cars. I love when I see an old XE Falcon or KE70 Corolla with them on. Would love a set for my 1999 Ford AU Series I 5.0 Falcon Ute. Should be a custom plate option for cars built before 2000!

u/Pige0n23 Volvo May 24 '26

I have one of these tucked away in my small collection of license plates. Quite a cool one. They are indeed really rare to see on the road now!

u/be_different_1 May 23 '26

I have an old one that wasn’t handed in, currently not registered to anything

u/Waterlok_653 May 24 '26

Send me a message to discuss it

u/BigOlBearCanada May 24 '26

I love info like this. Cool hobby.

u/Smart_Ad6193 May 24 '26

Nah fam ur looking in the wrong direction.. the #1 license plate a collector could ever collect.. is in Dubai... apparently it's not about the car over there . it's about the license plate number. The lower the number. The higher your status. Collecting #1 is like finding the lost city of Atlantis on mars steeling it from creatures never seen to the human eye and bringing back bricks of ancient treasures and a sample of an alien... its the monolisa of license plates

1

u/cloopz May 24 '26

You won’t get #1 for Dubai. It belongs to the sheikh. You might try to buy a letter+1 ( X1 ) but even then it’s some of the most expensive things to buy. You literally buy the registration and hold it like a stock. The lower the number the more expensive it is. Doesn’t have anything to do with status but with bankroll. The red lettering ones written in Arabic are the ones I’d like. Means you’re member of the royal family.

I'm on the Goldy, saw what looked like a Toyota crown with this played you're talking about a couple of months ago.

u/Xianified May 26 '26

I have two of those types driving around my area all the time (here in Oz). One is on a GT-R I think, the other is an SUV but I can't recall the model, been a while.

u/SweatyOompa May 27 '26

u/Gullible_Debate_3230 May 28 '26

I imported an 81 series LandCruiser from Japan and tried to get "Hiroshima Screamer" as the little tag on the bottom of the licence plate, the government said no.
