Early jap nuter Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I had to deal with this company for work. They were not the easiest to deal with and always a bullshit problem during the job. There’s dodgy Ute places these days everywhere and some of the shit they are fitting is so sub standard I cringe when I see it drive past me. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
187inc Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 That sucks for the driver, not only what happened but the way the company at fault treated him also, but.. Why would he not have personal income protection? I thought that was the first thing you get when self employed to avoid having to "borrow off friends for mortgage payments"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintin Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 There must be more to this story that they aren’t saying, Why could the 8 staff not chop down trees and split firewood to keep the business going, just sounds a bit off to me. Just my opinion 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 So back to this Morrie I have In its history report it it was dereg in 2014. It had a pre registration check in 2016. It has a vin plate on it, I assume from that check. Will I need to go through pre registration check again? Or is the vin still good? There's no record of it having any further reg inspection that I can find anywhere, I couldn't find it on ltsa flagged vehicle page (tho it only had one Morris in it flagged for flood damage). Doesn't say failed inspection in the carjam report Is there any way I can find out if it did go through an inspection and if it did fail on anything? There's plenty of information on importing and flagging an American car, but nothing for re-registering a car already here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Vin no will still be ok. Once it has a 17 digit vin assigned to the vehicle, that's it for life. Next step will be fix it, get repair cert, then take it back to a vinz/vtnz for re registration inspection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Anyway to see if it's flagged for anything? Says no on the carjam report, but does a re Rego check count the same as an import flag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Not that I'm aware of. You could ask a vinz/vtnz guy to check for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhangareiKE70 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hey y’all, Happy new year and all that. Trying to get this ute of mine sorted for cert/Nats, doing some bar work and am slightly confused by the part of the Car Construction Manual with regard to fenders/wheel coverage 13.5.2. Is the third of the circumference measured as a line starting from the centre of the wheel? Because the body is so high up over the wheel it makes it hard to get one third coverage if the line does start from the wheel centre as obviously anything lower than the chassis will not be covered except with maybe a mud flap, and does that count? See below for a poorly marked up version of what I am thinking of doing with the bar work (the bar will come out as far as the edge of the tyre to cover the whole tread then kick back in to join up with the slider/side step): TIA, Hayden.

If i want to change the wheels in the future do these need to be re certified or does it fall under the first point above? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Can only swap wheels if you don't have a cert. Get a cert and the wheel specs on the car are recorded on the cert plate for all time. Will need to recert in order to change wheels (to a different size) in future. So ideally you cert it with the wheels you want to run in future. Can get it certed with more than one wheel size. But will require multiple full sets of wheels in order to fully test and certify them suitable for use. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 What type of cert inspector would i need to involve to build a trike? Preferably so i can register as a car to save on the massive rego costs will be running my Honda gx690 engine with a turbo on it for added fun. Will graft a narrowed independent subframe to a bike chassis to keep it all fairly straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the rules around tyre tread coverage are a bit confusing as the lvv rules are different to the wof ones But a big mud flap should be enough to make it comply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have any WOF inspectors on here that could chime in? All good if not, my neighbour has a WOF garage so will ask him next time I see him.
