Get white WA plates man, would match your car so much better only $13. Just take your rego papers and current plates to any DPI centre. That's what i'm doing I got the WA yellow dinosaur ones haha. Until my car's decent enough/can afford custom plates.

Check that... maybe your gearbox is causing it? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i got the ve centercaps off ebay brand new for cheap as! you would want to look into getting a turbo box at least mate cos the na one will keep dying no matter what... if u want budget, get a turbo auto then a keas full manual valve body... will shift hard as **** and will hold up alot better than the na one and is a way better starting point to build off
