Guest - i5oogt - Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 That sounds pretty ridiculous (rings a bell though). So I'd cancel the rego and have to go through the revin process? I may just be nuts enough to do this... wouldn't you just personalise the plate number you wanted to use instead of a cancel and revin?

Guest MRWEST Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 is anyone likely to notice the difference corrollagt? eg if it already says brake mod on yoru plate is the wof man likely to know its not thee brakes you had on for cert if its all decently fitted??? Cletus arent they or werent they meant to be changing the rules so you can get more changes done following the original cert or not? My other question is, is a wof and/or a vin man likely to notice a 350 chev in place of a 283? THey are both SB Chev obviously? Is it likely theyd check numbers or something like that?

Guest MRWEST Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Also say you were going to do a conversion to another engine from the norm and bought some off the shelf mounts from overseas, is there some requirements on thickness of plate etc, Or am i better off to get some made here?

flyingbrick Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Can any competent welder shorten a diff? Will this diff and custom arms from chassis to diff need to be crack tested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camo_78 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 hey guys,im moving the battery to the boot in the mk5 sport,do i need a sealed battery box for a normal battery or can i just clamp it down as it would have been in the engine bay??

Yowzer Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sealed box with external vent, or sealed battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachlander Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I thought Mx5s batteries were already in the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think if your boot is completely sealed off from the cabin you can simply bolt a standard battery in there without a box, but that could be wrong. There's also regulations on the battery mounts too. Ya have to use certain sized bolts with certain sized steel etc etc. Cannot recall what they are. I think Keegan knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japawagons Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah Yowzer is correct with regulations. At least MSNZ certainly requires them and LVVTA usually run on the same wave length. Now what they are I can't remember and can't look them up on my phone. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other question is, is a wof and/or a vin man likely to notice a 350 chev in place of a 283? THey are both SB Chev obviously? Is it likely theyd check numbers or something like that? it was proposed that the cert plates/system was going to be changed to allow certs to be 'updated' cheaper. from memory it was canned due to being too complicated. as for your engine, depends on the vin guy, there are little differences but only would be noticed by someone who knows a bit about sb chebbys. i can id an early engine from what it looks like but still coudnt tell you the difference between a 265/283/327, even more difficult if its been modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Whats the minimum wide tyre i can run with my 8 inch 13's i guess my 185's will be out the window? according to the lvvta sheet a 215/50/13 or 225/55/13 might be better off looking at falkens and seeing what their fitment range is like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this diff and custom arms from chassis to diff need to be crack tested? yes can be done by a competent welder, doesnt need to be crack tested.
