ajg193 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I had no problem getting through cert with my new fuel line running next to the original one in the tunnel. No driveshaft hoops either. On the other side of the coin, my engine makes less power than a hive of bees 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 hey I have a set of 2" drop spindles at home, I have lost the paperwork for them, is there a way to get them checked out to be fit for use in nz? are they a good way to lower a vehicle in your opinion? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 What's the deal with modifying tow bars? My truck one sits a little high but I don't want to have it in a fixed position lower than it is. I want to replace the tongue with a 65mm box/50mm socket/receiver so it sits no lower but can have a lower towball to plug in. Will I get in trouble if I do that? I have a big 3 phase MIG that produces the most convincing of welds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoom Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Is this stuff all good for EFI hose?

cletus Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yep, will need clamps if pressure is over 60psi on a pushlock fitting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I didnt actually know about pushlock needing clamps until this lockdown actually, was trying to find suitable hose for my own car that doesnt crack and perish, many of the hose manufacturers recommended clamps if over x temp or pressure What you mention makes sense though , you wouldn't want to use clamps that put too much pressure on the hose and cut it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AALAWS Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hey Guys - Just been talking to the cert guy for the rust repairs on my corolla, and says I need to get a vin assigned to the car. Problem is, the shell is back on the rotisserie and the places I have talked to want me to take it to them an hour away. Now I'll suck it up and take if I have to, it but just checking if this can be done remotely or by a mobile service if anyone knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Aeroflow recommend clamps on their pushlock fittings if it's over X degrees hotness.

I've had a vin assigned by VTNZ for my project car (a US import) without them seeing it in person. I just took photos.

Jeffs_Emporium Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Having some roll centre adjusters machined for my gx61. Do they need a central locating ring like this Or are these fine Is there a maximum thickness Im allowed also. Here is the front suspension design with the steering arm sandwhiched between stub axle and ball joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Mine are like the second set, my certifier seemed happy enough. Worth checking with yours. My steering arm only has the locating rings around the bolts (IIRC), so that spacer copied that design. Test the height with washers, too thick and you may find the arm hitting the brake rotors. I found that anyway. I do have much larger rotors than factory though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTNZ are very good at being useless sometimes talk to land transport about it and see where that goes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
