AllTorque Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 What kind of vehicle/springs? You can add 50mm blocks to leaf springs. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/steering-and-suspension/steering-and-suspension-systems see tables for what doesn’t need a cert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Depends on the vehicle and what sort of suspension. Suspension geometry is the biggest issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 What size and thickness does an underfloor doubler plate with captive nut need to be under a bucket seat mount on a floor pan? I've just discovered that although the hole is there,because it was a bench seat model there's no factory doubler plate (or captive nut) present where the inner seat rails will reside. Non stressed seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 So about 70 mm square. Or some combination of sizes. 75mm^2 is also the size doubler plate required for an N2O bottle too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 3000mm2 is the minimum. If its for a seat, the seat rail, if it has that in flat area touching the floor, can count as the upper plate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 What's the deal with tail pipe length?, put another muffler on the 121 but was about 50mm short of pipe.. sits just even with the rear valance but inside the bumper line.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 It's actually pretty good, not real noisy anyway.. cheers, I guess I could always put an extension on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mof Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Do I need a seal (e.g gearstick boot) around the gearstick and handbrake for a wof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early jap nuter Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Do you need a cert if you replace windows with steel? For example a station wagon if you take the windows out of the rear doors ,weld a full plate over (but still leave the door handles and locks in) and take out the rear side glass out and did the same. So it’s kinda like a panel van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Failed WoF today needing a cert for the EFI. Booked in for next monday. Cert guy wasn't very helpful in answering questions regarding things. I'm using factory mounting locations for the fuel hoses on the car, but the mounting points are more than 300 mm apart. I guess I will need to go out and get a whole load of P clamps and put shit loads of holes through my car all over the place to bring them to 300 mm spacing? Also the fuel lines go through the driveshaft tunnel (factory location and there is nowhere else to put the fuel hoses) and there is no driveshaft safety hoop as the increase in power is only like 1%. Is this acceptable or do I need to do heaps of stupid drastic things? If I have to put too many holes in the car I would probably rather just rip the EFI off and go back to carb. Especially at the $565 cost of a cert... I've moved the electrical wires for the pump up further into the tunnel, they are connected to the brake pipe mounts, so as not to be right next to the fuel hoses wherever possible. First image shows fuel hoses in driveshaft tunnel. (Handbrake cable, electrical wires, brake pipe, fuel hoses from left to right) Second picture shows fuel pump setup Third image shows electrical feed cables running through tunnel along brake pipes, fuel hoses at bottom of image along chassis rail So basically: 1. Is my wiring location alright? 2. Will I have to add heaps of clips to make factory fuel hose supported at 300 mm (I did also add the flexible hose, which I guess definitely needs 300 mm spacing)? 3. Fuel hoses run near driveshaft, will I need to put in a hoop? EDIT: "Note that where a production vehicle is fitted with its original fuel tank or other fuel system components in their original locations, the requirements in this chapter do not apply" Does that mean I only need to put P clamps on the added flexible hose and call it a day?

ajg193 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Also the ECU has no way of knowing if the fuel tank is empty. The fuel systems pdf says that the fuel pump cannot run if the tank is empty. Will this be a problem for me? https://www.nzhra.org.nz/Merchandise Page Files/J - Chapter 10 - Fuel Systems.pdf And with the cert plate, can I just request that it is put under the spare wheel or do I need to clutter my engine bay with so much shit that they have no choice to put it somewhere else in the car?

tortron Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm probably no help cos it's a cert from the bad old days, but my fuel pump and efi power has a manual switch Notice tank is dry and turn it off? Haha the engine not running situation is handled by the oil lamp circuit. No pressure and the pump doesn't work, but is set up in a way that pump turns on when turning the engine on. Well that's the idea, mine been bypassed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 They reckon I could put quad carbs on without a cert. When they dropped the car back on the ground after the underbody check the guy asked the other guy "did you even put that down?" *sigh... high life* Christchurch cert guy reckoned wiring didn't have to go through the inside of the car, just use common sense so it isn't right next to the fuel hoses incase it gets crimped in a crash. I think it is currently in a position where it is reasonably safe. Not sure about the legalities of just cable tying it to existing clamp points around the car, but that's the way Toyota routed their wires for various things. Do cert rechecks cost, even if it is something as simple as just putting in a couple of little clips in certain places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
