  1. The underlying point is the certifier is declaring that the vehicle is legal at point of cert. So taking care of basic wof shit is in your best interest.  But anyway Clint will some what confirm more.  I actually can't remember if I went for a wof pre cert on my crown sedan or not. 

    But the wheel alignment thing I can also understand as camber needs to meet correct standards.

  2. Re- switch mounting for front. ...... 

    If it's concluded you need a front switch but as stated levers to suit look gross,  could you use a hydraulic operated switch instead and hide it somewhere less all up in your face on your bars? 

  3. Even more so as that is a reference note.  I can't read the virm on my phone but as mentioned there will probably be a year where you can have one or both. 

     

    As for testing stations they have no idea what they are on about most of the time.

  4. 50 minutes ago, kdotlowe said:

    Does anyone know if front & rear brake light switches are required?

    Now the above from the NZTA Portal would indicate that just at least one would have to work?

    Finding aesthetically pleasing front brake levers with switch holes is impossible. Keen to lose the front one if I'm able to.

    Reading that would indicate you can have one or both. 

    But that is reading off what you have posted and could be out of context.  As the virm is good like that lol

  5. Lol I have actually been contemplating the same thing.  Been midly sick of throwing dollars down the fuel filler, but in reality I don't think it would make much difference. 

     

    Things to note: the ecu from a 5me doesn't control the ignition,  that's all done at the module for the electronic ignition. 

    So it really only does fuel, and a bunch of emissions stuff. Which does make it a slightly easier conversion.  Could easy eliminate all the emissions shit and have a pretty basic setup. Manifolds fit straight on etc. Then its just a matter of powering the ecu, and fitting an inline fuel pump,  assuming you car has a fuel return from the carb like mine did? 

     

    But yeah.  I don't actually know if the gains are worth the effort.  One thing I have been contemplating is swapping to a 5mge setup from an mx73. At least that way there is more power to be had with twin cam life and probably more fuel efficiency also. And shitty old cressidas are still around with the right hunting. 

     

    Really wish Toyota had made a deisel motor series close to ld28. Oh well.

  6. Yeah as @Steelies said,

    I have a carb setup he built for a 4age that im looking at offloading. 

    Thinking it might be easier modifying something that is already sorted,  as has a sweet cammed spindle for the throttle and everything, combined vacuum lines etc. Has been run successfully on his starlet.   Im looking at selling everything I bought with includes a fuel pump but also a 4age magic ignition box which you could sell on.

    Im at $500 because that's what I paid.  Should be able to sell magic box for at least half that.
