cletus Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I want to fit headlights from a facelift gx61 chaser onto a pre facelift, this requires cutting front panel from circular to oval around where the lights go so they can slide across., I have the correct panel to use as a jig, is this legal to do? i would say yes is do able, would need cert though.

BlownCorona Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Even if I'm converting from carb to efi, and using the section of old hard line as the return? It's debatabley not even used for its original purpose. Still if cert man down here doesn't like, it won't be hard to run a new return.

Popular Post cletus Posted December 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2016 do able, if any of the roof structure has been removed, ie any bars going across the vehicle, then you would have to replace that strength, make it look tidy and so that none of the strippers hanging out of the roof can cut themselves on any sharp edges. mounting the stripper pole will require some thought as there will be nothing to support the top, so you may have to concrete it into the spare wheel well, you will need to supply specs on the concrete strength vs the wall thickness of the pole so we can assess the maximum safe working load of the pole if you want to use large strippers we could probably look at some sort of ground anchor and support rope system, so those big 100kg plus ones can really get stuck in to their performance 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 As of 1 December you don't need a high level stop light on pre-1990 vehicles The Associate Minister of Transport, Hon Craig Foss , has signed into law 13 amendment Rules that make minor changes to existing Land Transport Rules The changes to Vehicle Lighting 2004 .... remove an requirement to fit high mounted stop lamps to vehicles registered or manufactured before 1 January 1990 http://www.ecos.co.nz/files/Omnibus_Amendment_2016.pdf Means I don't need to keep the (detached) high level light under the seat of the Mercury I suppose. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Im just happy I will no longer need to pull half the interior out of old American cars to run a wire from the brake light switch to back windscreen. Im actually really suprised they did this. Usually they make everything so hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Yeah, and the complications about the flashing brake lights as indicators on US cars. I read about it in the latest NZ Rodder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 When did high stop lights become compulsory as a retro-fit on old cars? I remember when they were first a thing in NZ in the early '80s all the talk was about how all new cars had to have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when they were first a thing in NZ in the early '80s all the talk was about how all new cars had to have them. They had to be fitted depending on first registration date in NZ, so didn't need to be retro fitted to old NZ cars, but anything imported had to have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when they were first a thing in NZ in the early '80s all the talk was about how all new cars had to have them. It used to be that even if the car was old, if it was first registered in NZ after 1990 it needed a high stop lamp. So silly having to retro fit something on one car but not an identical one that happened to be registered in nz prior to 1990. Can't recall exactly when it happened but I've been pinged on it before. It's also been missed before on WOF checks simply due to the crazy nature of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
