Last time I was there the custodian only wanted complete vehicles taken out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Vapour Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 14 hours ago, azzurro said: Im considering buying a deregistered rare italian vehicle from the 1960s. It has rust, but not so bad in the scheme of things. Im not scared of the rust but i am scared of getting it reregistered/certified. Other than the ownership malarkey (which may also be a bit of a thing - has plates and old stickers but no papers and carjam doesnt know about it), whats the story with the repair certification that it will surely require? Im not interested if i have to pay a guy to do the rust work, but happy to have someone review my work. Who is a good repair certifier to chat with in Auckland, west preferably. Basically this this a good idea or have i gone quite mad? I recently discovered that my car is no longer in the system. Long story short I fucked up. I spoke to s gent named Duncan about two weeks ago. An old mate did his time under him. He said that it's $120 for the first inspection. From there a plan will be made as to how to progress forward. I can't strip it till he has seen it as he wants to be "in charge" of the processes from the start. So he wants to see it pre and post strip. The plan is then made. He will mark out all areas to be repaired So He did not say it directly but once he was happy with how you work he would be happy with lots of photos to document each repair made. Total cost was unknown as it would all depend on number of visits and length of report needed etc. Hope that helps 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Would these speaker pods be warrantable here or would they be considered a dangerous internal projection? They look to me like they might obstruct your feet more than just a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Do you need working hazard lights for a wof? I cant see any mention in the VIRM so im guessing not? The switch is there but doesnt work. Indicators all work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Might be needed for a re-registration check though? / I'm not an inspector so I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Im sure i can narrow down what it is, and probably will before the test, but itd be good if it was one less thing i had to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 There is an 'entry certification' section on the virm site, I thought that this defined the re-rego check too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Thanks for asking that one, I was resigned to trying to fix mine for the corollas next WOF. Don't have to worry now, choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hi guys. Just after some general chat around the cert process, how hard it is, your experiences, etc. My MR2 has aftermarket seats, wheels, suspension (adjustable), engine (20v currently, soon to be 16v turbo for the cert), and brakes (slightly bigger from another Toyota). The seats are Bride Lomax, with rails to suit from NZKW. Im hoping these will pass inspection. Advice here would be nice! The engine that will be certed will be a 16v 4AGZE with supercharger swapped for turbo. Im guessing so long as things are tidy and leak free, it should pass fine. Is bracing for the turbo a requirement? I have an oil filter relocation, will this be focused on? The fuel system is mostly stock, with an aftermarket FPR as the only modification, though I do intend to upgrade the fuel pump too at some point. The suspension is adjustable, but a decent brand (Yellowspeed I think). Nothing really special about it, just a tiny sliver of negative camber, and fairly stiff. Been told these will probably not be a problem. Wheels, so long as they arent bigger diameter, you can go as wide as you want, it seems, which is good because mine are 20mm wider than factory. They are hidden under arch extensions. Obviously Im intending to visit the certifier soon to have an initial once over for advice from them, but was curious what you all thought as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what anyone here says, as it's the LVV certifier who has to sign off everything. As I import cars I have some dealings with both repair certifiers and LVV certs from time to time. Biggest thing is to not act like a dickhead or f...wit. They've heard all the B/S stories before, probably a hundred times. Like you're already doing, talk with a couple of LVV certifiers first, and ask them to clarify if what you're doing/propsing or done, is heading the right way. Far easier to clarify everything first, than having to modify again or remove stuff you've done. Here's the contact list. I have used Paul Urqhart before and know him well, however up to you as to who you contact, providing they are rated in the areas of expertise that you need. https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/suplementary_information/CertifierList-Website.pdf Edited June 22, 2018 by S124AB add link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
