Stupid though, can't be many 55 year old cars with og engines anymore. I have no idea if VW blocks have numbers stamped on them, but could it be a case of remove engine numbers then = factory motor?

kws Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Is the car jam record of engine numbers as accurate as inspectors get? So many “rusty/covered/blank” numbers on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I wouldn't worry about re certing it, the plate would be exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the cert system? I did try to get the chassis number changed, no dice! Lol. Would have to be same for same in that case I would imagine.

Would it be ok to put one stud in each wheel to locate the wheel and then factory bolts for the rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Do the bmw's not come with a long plastic stud you screw in first to hang the wheel on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 How often are you changing wheels? Make sure your rims are hubcentric and you should be ok, otherwise balance the wheel on your foot to line it up or if that's too taxing get a shovel and use that as leverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm sure most have seen this thing now it's great but so bloody illegal it's not funny. If I were to pull off the V-twin and fit a 50cc engine and treaded tyres could it be street registered ? It's a sweet ride now brakes work mint and it's quite Chuckable as far as handling goes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I guess they apply the entry certification process? https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/entry-certification e.g. for brakes etc Compliance with approved standards 4. A brake that is required to comply with an approved brake standard did not comply, or cannot be demonstrated to have complied, with at least one of the standards listed in Table 8-1-1 at the time the vehicle was manufactured. 5. A brake has brake friction material that is: a) not identifiable by markings of the vehicle manufacturer or a recognised brake friction material manufacturer listed in Figure 8-2-1, or not supplied by a recognised supplier and accompanied by a statement of compliance from that supplier. Condition, performance and modification 6. Brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir, or at remote locations, shows signs of dirt or contamination. 7. Brake friction material is: a) worn below the limits shown in Table 8-2-1, or separating from the brake pad backing plate or brake shoe, or c) cracked or otherwise damaged, or d) contaminated by brake fluid, oil or grease.
