Makes sense as trade plates are not registered to a specific vehicle, they are registered to a business.

 

At entry/first reg you don't need plates for registration, you need a vin/chassis number and the temp paperwork states a wof inspection has been carried out to allow you to reg and get plates assigned. 

 

Who attaches the WOF sticker? More running around I suppose. 
I just bought an un-plated import. It had a WOF and when I arrived we ran it around to VTNZ and had the plates issued.

Yea it looks pretty much exactly the same, maybe a new fuel pump in there, and the headers have been wrapped.

We ran it the day i looked at it, nothing obviously horrible going on. I checked and its only done 6000 odd km since I sold it.

I am probably going to fit an uprated clutch, so If the engine is out I will drop the sump and have a geez.

I got it into the shed today, so ill see how much I can get through in the next couple of weeks.

Probably quite a few?

No security features on those plates, so you should be good to go on.

Even worse

Hard at work

Pre-86 plates are the ones to have!

I met a gentleman yesterday, who has just lost his home to fire, caused by his drone battery pooping itself while charging. 

Ain't never heard of Hydrogen hurting anyone ........ 

A workmate had the same thing burn up and very nearly toasted the whole place.

Nope

Looks like it has had a casting flaw that has been welded up and ground back.

is it legal to ride horse in the city?

Shit yes

Sensible chap.

4BT swap should sort out that dieseling issue.

Nice one on the gasket fix. Shocked that you used australian coins though.

But can it fit a sheet of gib in the back?

Lol, like that is a requirement for a ute these days.

Do you know much about them? Would there be more to the assembly or just the valve?

I dunno. Isn't there usually a lever that connects to the suspension somehow?

Would this part not apply? 

Or am I interpreting that wrong? 

As far as I know the problem is not exactly the missing valve but that the rear brakes are imbalanced and there's no adjustment

Getting a cert for a proportioning valve should be easy, but will cost $$.

Can't you replace the factory part? That would be the easiest and probably cheapest option
