Anyone who has tried to get a LVV Cert will know the problems of dealing with the LVVTA. As en ex LVV Certifier who has enjoyed Certing many subs, and takes issue with the LVVTA Hot rod focus, I have created a survey. We have a meeting with NZTA NEXT WEDNESDAY, and we want to take along your responses to improve the system! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7H8VXC2

I'm interested in routing my exhaust exit to the side of the car (circled below) and I have read up that the exhausts cannot sit directly below a passenger compartment, I assume where I want it is fine, but I don't know what the limit to how far it can protrude from the body is.

i hope not. bear in mind that website is run by someone who used to be a certifier but got kicked out for consistently poor certification decisions, then appealed the decision in court, and lost again.

he was well known for doing stupid things like posting videos of himself doing a 100kph brake test in an 80k area, another one was of him doing a brake test on a motorway onramp

 

i remember him asking in a training session what an external wastegate was for and why they were so noisy.

 

the only thing that concerns me is there is a lot of negative focus on LVVTA at the moment for a number of reasons, and setting up a survey where the outcome may not be good given the current situation, could result in losing the system we have, and end up with something a lot worse.

As I am also interested in the answer to this question,

 

( B ) terminates in a position where the outer end of the exhaust pipe is not

directly underneath the passenger compartment.

So the passenger compartment includes the rear part of the softtop?

If so, he can't put it there?

[cletus]

if it exits at the side ie level with the side of the body, then it is not under it, therefore ok

[Mof]

Oh yeah, I actually clicked just before, they mean under the cabin duh me

[Joel]

if it exits at the side ie level with the side of the body, then it is not under it, therefore ok

 

Thanks for clarification

I think we should all try search before asking repeat questions. Poor Clint

HI All,

 

hopefully not a repeat question - I've read the last 100 pages of this thread and not found an answer.

 

If a car has been on reg hold for say 10 years.  Is it best to get it back on the road unmodified, register it, wof it, and then do the mods.  Or just mod and cert.  Obviously the former is easier as you can test it on the road etc.  But, from the certification point of view - any advantages either way?

[japawagons]

If the rego is still live. I.e you could just take it for a WOF inspection and if it passes register it.

Then I would just modify it and get a LVV Cert completed. Its irrelevant how long its been in unwarranted.

[RUNAMUCK]

Get all the shit ready to modify it, then get a wof while stock. Then try get it modified to fuck before the wof runs out. That's what I'd do.

id just do what i want to it then cert then wof. that way you may save time and money by not getting it to wof standard then redo work to do the mods.

 

if you are doing it properly then getting a wof wont be an issue with it modified anyway

[kdotlowe]

This has probably been asked 1000 times, but I can't seem to find anything recent after a quick search

 

In the process of dropping a 1.8T engine from a MK4 GTI into my MK2 Golf - obviously will need to be certed.

Can anyone tell me how the process works & who are the recommended certifiers in the Auckland area?

 

Thanks in advance.

John Brett is a fuckwit, plain and simple. He could quite easily cause a big stink.

Falken tires says no more stance for you.

 

 

Falken Tyres NZ distributor have released a service bulletin going out to all nz Falken tyre distributors as well as all NZ LVVTA certifiers in regards to the stretching of Falken branded tyres.

For a while now many have used Falken branded tyres stretching onto wide rims because of a printed document stating Falken branded tyres to legally stretch further than that of other brands and the lvvta tyre compatibility guide.

THIS IS NOW VOID & FALKEN TYRES FALL UNDER THE SAME TYRE COMPATIBILITY GUIDE ISSUED BY THE LVVTA

PLEASE FIND LINK BELOW FOR LVVTA TYRE STRETCH GUIDELINES
