nzta put me in touch with vtnz branch which can inspect and change class - they said a couple hundy for fees (i think) and just fold the seats down and have it fixed (so that it wont be able to be reverted for seating readily , i.e. without tools) i think they said i wont even need to remove seat belts. its a wagon. i "may" need the cargo divider, but not sure.
-
yup im aware of that section of virm, actualli i asked vtnz about some (i thought to be) contradiction in ther but apparently i was wrong. but anyway, just wondered how these cars get away with ~5% vlt tints (i had 5% glare strip), big stickers with some sort of "car club logo" or filipina thing or RIP whatever someone s name is, usually south auckland cars. was tossing up going NA but apparently extra 40 bux rego for up to 0% vlt rear side and back.
-
Do less than 35% VLT pass WOF, if OE fitment? There are heaps, I think most of them being Japanese import have way darker than 35% VLT. How strict are the WOF outfits when it comes to tint and gigantic stickers and such? I got pinged for supposedly 13% tint (came with the car) and I think that was about right.

its like this. looks like its not complete though, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 8th, 9th 10th and 11th ed. each sheet ~6x8". i tried at my local library and i can make things out pretty well. i cant remember as its been a while but i could save as digital image on usb stick or print. not sure what you have around your area though.

i think it's the typical arrangement with clips on the top window channel and double sided tape. the fiddly part is to get the clips out without cracking the plastic. its got a few clips (3 for front and 2 for rear) and double sided tape on the top edge and also a little pad at the B pillar ends. probably a fishing line or a skinny jnr hacksaw blade to cut thru the double sided tape and hopefully the clips fall out. have a quick practice on the rear left side and see how easy (or not) before spending too much time. tbh im terrible at this myself, destroyed a few of them at PaP practicing lol. here are some photos of them off car. cheers -
curious myself. a while back i had a few more grooves added to bilsteins (it might have been too low or not low enough) and had wof no problem but i dont know it was whether the inspectors were slack.
-
If anyone happens to be heading that way, it'd be cool to have RHS monsoon shields front and rear picked if in good shape. cheers
-
if either of you can help me out that d be great. time is not an important factor at all, so whichever way is most convenient for you guys suit me fine. tia FSR thread here for less spam here cheers
-
well, trying my luck, just in case. if no one's driving up, i'll figure something else out.
-
pardon me for spam but i thought i d post here too for max exposure. i ll see myself out now. @smokin'joe has kindly offered to bring a spare tyre/wheel i bought on TM to hanmeet. if anyone can take it up to Auckland (or as close as possible and store til the summer - currently 2nd week in a leg cast of 12 weeks total) it d be greatly appreciated.

I'm doing the same except I want to get the amp out as well. 12" and 8" sub and an amp. Will be using the second jaycar link for the amp power (i bought off amazon, 2 sets of M & F and they come with covers, which would be necessary for power. thinking of using either 1st jaycar link, speakon or deutsch for speaker wires and amp remote on.
-
amp staying in the car?

i just remembered, one time i had a motorcycle tank that had a sealer done before (but badly) - had a hell of a time removing the existing sealer first.
-
anyway i dont know what this AA guy is going on about - AA is supposed (i know they aren't really any more) to be the motorists' advocate, if stickers help as a reminder for due dates for this and that, that's the good for the motorists, their client base. the government IT system is not infallible (understatement), one time i didnt get the reminder for rego, got on the phone only to be told that it's vehicle owner's responsibility (fair enough), they are just being nice and sending me reminders.
-
do parking wardens have access to all that?
-
i used por15 sealer system twice, a fiat 125t tank and a motorcycle tank. both times worked well. with the motorcycle tank, i did reverse electrolysis first cos it was really bad inside. third one i cleaned up was another motorcycle tank, around 2 years ago, i used crc evaporust filled to the brim and left a few days and it cleaned up real well then i dunked it in electroless nickel tank. it still looks good but i ve not used the tank and it's just sitting in the lounge (for the moment)
-
i thought it was properly fixed to the pedal - didnt spot the cable tie. dodgy
-
looks like it's for a person with very short legs. i don't really see the problem there.
-
in certain context, lime scooters on a footpath are far more dangerous than say a moderately looked after p10. seen some with absolutely bald tyres
-
that second link from NZTA talks about tyre load and speed ratings suitable for the vehicle but do tyres on the same axle have to have matching ratings? it doesn't seem to mention it, so just to be sure. i mean, i'm guessing most tyres for typical passenger cars would have the ratings well above the required load and speed.
-
semi-related, how much of the guard has to cover over the tyre/wheel for it to be legal. most guards are widest at the top and tapers in down at sill level?
-
how often does this happen. if i was a layman who don't know nothing about cars (pretty much true), what am i meant to do?
