The VIRM (WOF rules) has tables of what does not need cert, so anything else does. For suspension see here and go to tables and images https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/steering-and-suspension/steering-and-suspension-systems Grab a copy of the threshold document. It lists all the modifications that don't require certification in one handy location. https://lvvta.org.nz/documents/suplementary_information/LVVTA_LVV_Cert_Threshold.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the issue will come about from the angle of the steering drag link will be steep enough that you will probably need to fit a longer/adjustable drag link. That does require cert. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 As stated above, it's not the lift that kicks a 4WD into requiring cert, it's the additional mods that come with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just having to do faster correction bushed in the front control arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutiny Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Not sure if it has been covered here but I'm gonna ask anyway, Aside mounted number plates on motorcycles. Legal or no? Have been told not legal but sure as shit see a lot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Number plate is not a wof thing, only the light is. Here is what NZTA say “All plates must be fixed securely to the vehicle in an upright position. They must be displayed so that all the characters (numbers and letters) are clearly visible at all times. A motorcycle, moped, tractor, trailer or trade plate must be fixed on the rear of the vehicle.“ https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/licensing-rego/number-plates/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benno Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 My Zephyr brake rotors have some fairly deep rust pitting. I have tried to find new rotors, without any luck. I have spoken to someone who could machine some for me from billet steel. Would these be legal, for re-vin and WOFs? Apart from accelerating wear to the discs, would there be any issues from remaining pitting if I got my existing rotors machined to at or near the minimum manufacturers tolerance?

ajg193 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Custom made brake rotors are a no-no under WoF VIRMS. Aftermarket brake rotors the substitute rotors are: – the same size as the OE rotors, and – catalogued aftermarket items for that make and model of vehicle (and can include cross-drilled and/or slotted types), and – attached to unmodified OE parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I think there is also something about steel brake rotors warping more readily than cast iron? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Might have to spend some time with the Brembo (or similar) rotor catalog. If lucky, you might find some that just need the diameter machining down or similar. What sort of size are they? Do they share brakes with any other models that you know of? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my research, it seems capri rotors are similar. The height of the rotors is off by 2mm and the centre bore is a bit too small, but could probably be machined to fit. Unsure about the PCD, but the Zephyr discs are also 4 stud so could be redrilled if necessary. I think I'll get the existing rotors skimmed and see how bad they are, should be good enough to get me through revin at least. https://www.nzautomotive.co.nz/products/disc-rotors-ft-ford-capri-cortina-escort-mk1-245mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
