Can anyone explain the Grandfathering system that the LVVTA use and how it applies?

If a modification can adequately be proven to have been modified prior to the date of a standard being introduced then the earlier standard can be used. Not every everything has grandfathering rights though.

What in particular are you asking about?

@KKtrips Is there a go-to place for NDT in Wellington? The guy who did this last time for me seems to have vanished.

SGS seem to be pretty good. But it always pays to get the F008 form filled out by the certifier prior to sending parts for NDT so the test lab knows what they are looking at and what they are testing for.

Have nothing but awesome to say about them. They do the whole process from start to finish and with the correct compliant paperwork.

My certification guy has disappeared from face of planet it seems. I have had inspection done and fixed everything on list and awaiting recheck for 8 weeks (understand holiday period and they are busy people being a small business owner myself) 

I assume recheck with someone else would mean re inspection and the $700 odd fee paying again? 

I don't wish to name as I see no merit in it, I am completely happy with the process other than this hurdle and I would just like my car certified. 

Yes it will mean starting again unfortunately. PM me please.

SST means Special Service Tool - LoL, it's a length of wire/paperclip/split pin

I have an E1 but the closest to T1  is Te1.

Oh it's an FE? I just assumed GE. I should have read the OP. LoL

Still could be advanced a tooth.

Making your own marks after the belt has stretched can be a rookie mistake. Its probably advanced the inlet cam.

Have you reset the timing? It sounds too far advanced.

It will need to be registered as the 521, as it is what it looks like. So get the 521 rego alive and then go through the cert process as per normal.

FYI - my memory tells me that @Chris.QCR did a very similar conversion back a decade ago

Not much appears to have changed from 5th Feb to the 10th Jan, just a different truck...

I could be interested @Unclejake. 

What dimensions is the space in question?

Need to figure out if there would be enough room for the Commy, a rollcab, 3 cabinets of parts plus a couple sets of wheels.

Looks sweet bro

You guys have probably all seen this guy before but his videos are so incredibly soothing.
