Could you use a rubber mount that already has a locking system? Another way could be to make a 'hook' that catches the engine mount bracket

It looks a bit rugged but I've had the go ahead from lvvta a couple of times for the same mod when I've asked One of the faqs on the website says it can't be done but that was from a long time ago

Public service announcement RUC price goes up 1st July. Stock up now!

He didn't earn his forum title for nothing...

Vl still had drum on some, vn was all disc from memory

Was there a reason why you didn't get a two fiddy big block one?

Sometimes it's a piece of cake to get details changed Other times it can be a major , I've got someone who I certed a car for, it had one extra letter in the chassis tag that wasn't on landata When he tried to get it changed it turned into a big drama as someone had removed the tag at some point to paint the engine bay and it turned into a big 'is this the right car for the tag' problem It's been ongoing for nearly a year now

Its Toyota, they are metric race cams. .750 race

If it's open you could use one of these- replaces the spider gears and pretty cheap https://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/nissan-hardbody-lock-right-locker-by-powertrax-1986-1997-h233b-31spline-p-3653.html

Should be a tag somewhere (under the seat or on one of the pillars maybe?) with an axle code on it That might help?

6 or 8?

Yeah that should be fine if they are made properly of a suitable material

yep- if you hear one with equal length headers on they sound like a normal 4cyl

Good idea to use them Stops the mount flexing too far

Shouldn't matter for lvv cert - it's not usually a requirement for a lvv certifier to sight the repair cert On rare occasions the certifier might want to see it- the only time I remember asking someone for a copy of a repair cert was an old car with a lot of repairs, where the owner had a repair cert done, then did mods and it turned into a scratch built vehicle, when that happens it is considered a new vehicle and the lvv certifier takes responsibility for the whole vehicle including the body structure So in that case it was me covering my ass as well as I could because I hadn't seen the body before paint

do you mean it needs a repair cert and you want to know how to repair it to that standard? or it has had one done and you need a copy of the repair cert? I don't know how you would get a copy of it, you might be able to get the repair certifier to make copies for you? its not usually something that the customer gets a copy of, the cert paperwork gets given to the vtnz/vtnz inspector

yep a half cage is certifiable cage requirements from an interior impact point of view, is here https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Interior_Impact.pdf head restraints https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Head_Restraints.pdf

cant see a problem with those, looks like a much better idea than the factory ones @Nominal they are escort top strut hats, the factory ones don't have a bearing to let the shock turn freely

Count me in for fridee acomerdation

It's a 2011

I dropped the wheels off at the bike shop, it wasnt very expensive for them to fit Fronts are 3.5", rears are 4.5", both 17" The biggest pain changing the wheels was those little plastic crash knob things... I said many swear words at those

Yeah the windyness is good for the license I think, it was pretty comfortable getting along at 90-100 Stock carb, might have had a re jet cause it's already had the common airbox mod and an exhaust Put some new tyres on it today, front is stock 120/70/17, rear was a 140/70/17 but I got a 150/60/17, bridgestone S21. Won't be doing any skids on these, bike tyres are a bit more of a muck around to change than car ones. And not cheap.

Keen. I'm in

strangely, I have a question for this thread if person 'a' puts rego on hold for the minimum of 3 months then sells vehicle to person 'b' after 1 month person 'b' then puts rego on the vehicle, rego then starts from the date of change of ownership, this is on the nzta website does person 'a' get a bill for rego because it was on hold for less than the 3 month minimum? the reason I ask, is I bought a bike with reg on hold, I put 3 months rego on it, but the date of expiry was 3 months from when the reg on hold ran out, not 3 months from the date I put it in my name. so I got nearly an extra month free.
