  1. Crazy, my mates who aren't diy inclined advertised up here for a tiny job and still got like 5 people interested which surprised me
  2. Tried using builders crack website? Load up the job(s) and builders register interest/quote for it. Can be good for small jobs Theres work that requires/does not require a consent. If the work is technically consentable you may be able to apply for a consent exemption given it is minor work. This would save you a bit in council fees and processing time.
  3. Ah yes I remember stopper talk but didn't read the solution, shall continue reading
  4. I might have missed in ALL the detail Did you maintain vvti operational or CR/cams means you can't?
  5. ken to see 10k even without the power to justify, just want to hear it
  6. Not sure if directed to me but what I am saying is changing the system to something more privatized using so called qualified engineers will only see price increase and probably time taken too. The benefit of a system that is effectively self certifying is that there is a legal compliance line drawn, interpretation is reduced and those certifying are well versed in what is acceptable or not. Won't please everyone but neither will the alternative presented. What I was meaning is if all of my engineering and industry experience was automotive and I was effectively reviewing everyman and his dogs interpretation of the codes, which have been applied in bespoke applications, there is no way I would only charge $500 a pop for taking on the responsibility/liability for saying its safe. I wouldn't get out of bed for less than 5k. This is what nzta and lvvta will be wanting to avoid cos that ends up being unaffordable and so people just won't get cars certed There certainly are other similarly setup certifying within trades for buildings, id say plumbing, electrical and sprinklers/alarms are similar. Tbh i wouldn't be using the buildings industry as a great example, there's loads of inconsistency in quality of design work, installation work, and compliance processes. It would be faster, cheaper, safer if there was a cookbook
  7. If I had all my qualifications and experience from buildings but in the automotive field... There's no way I'd cert a car for only $500
  8. do it again? double, triple check. What else has changed I mean its a 2e it should be like fucken lightning so something is clearly wrong
  9. I'm enjoying the 3rd party fwd pain, good jerb keep it up
  10. well it is for a pipe that's having to move air and water at the same time (resisting rabbit hole)
  11. 2e alternators could definitely bolt up to a 4age, from memory they were a bit smaller, and lower amp rating tho. Basically race spec
  12. I have a few (mix of 2e, 4a, 3s) alternators in the way in my garage if you want to play lucky dip
  13. now i had to trawl through different nissan shitboxes, something like this
  14. Oh maybe, I thought wingroad but maybe it was some other povo pos that's even worse than this
  15. this is like the worst thing ive seen on oldschool A+, subscribed etc My memory of these is they have comical legroom for both front and rear passengers, like anyone driving who is not a midget needs the seat right back and that automatically means noone can get their feet in the tiny gap that remains, also maybe the factory radio just had a centre speaker on the dash?
  16. wish i had known about a place like coopers at the time
  17. Chur should have read the first page
  18. Chart is a way better set out btw
  19. @KKtrips thanks mate As far as compiling this how was it done? Looking at various manufacturers recommendations? Ultimately curious about the variance in rim width based on profile, is that because a 70 profile is generally designed to be a balloon sidewall but a 30 profile designed to be rigid?
  20. cable basket idea is lush
  21. mudflap dimensions gunna be written on cert plate?
  22. @cletus a "centering system" is a bit vague, one could argue tapered nuts on their own are centering, although it then says if tapered nuts used a close tolerance is "recommended". Presumably hubcentric rings are acceptable? As Richie says, impposibru otherwise
