Also where that 06 is is really where they put the vehicle category for taxation and ton age, mostly used at the toll gates. 33 is the most baller you can have meaning your wip has at least 5 litres and your willing to pay up to $1100 a year in taxes.

By the way Shinagawa in this case is a district that includes Roppongi and Azabu
Eh, using the letters is the fun part. Thanks for the tip on the 33.. that works too for the Z33.

Def neat for the garage and as posted before for track/show.

Ordered!

It's like getting "Beverly Hills" plates versus "Tahoe" plates. Yes, In Japan, drivers know where you basically reside from reading your plates.

Shinagawa has more prestige of all districts in Japan.

Having lived four years in Tokyo, I not sure that I'd agree that Shinagawa, a suburb of Tokyo, is considered the Beverly Hills of Japan. The most valued addresses in Japan would be the Akasaka and Hiro districts of Tokyo (just listed as Tokyo on the plates). However, if one had a choice of Nagano and Shinagawa plates, the latter would be considered less rural.
