Is there any intention to ever get an unpaid uni intern to slowly transfer the old plate system info and photos into that database?

The new LVVTA online data system is pretty nice. All it needs now is a sale price box and trademe could be put out of business https://lookup.lvvta.org.nz/search/?search_id=r3vznnobh1dg @cletus I hope you made him rectify those short window winder handles

Also all four wheels can be travelling at different speeds without slip - like when going around a corner. You'd need to account for steering angle if you wanted to know the 'exact' moment of excessive slip initiating.

What about a situation where a car has a dealer option genuine towbar from 38 years ago and never had a load rating?
-
As far as I'm aware there is nothing in the vrims about tow bar load rating documentation and he would therefore have no right to fail them?

You'd almost need new undies after the close call at 2:45 Also, is that safety car one of them newfangled GR Yarii?

This is all resolved now. It appears the biggest issue was the fusible links (sections of wire designed to safely fail if overloaded) at the end of the +VE wire from alternator are old and couldn't cope with the current - resulting in large voltage drop and heat generation. I ran a new wire in parallel (auto sparky recommended as it can be difficult to remove the factory wire from loom) with the old one and put a 60 A fuse inline (a proper fusible link fuse). New wire is 7.92mm^2, rated for like 80 amps on a 2 metre stretch. Also threw a brand new alternator in for good measure as
