Their article then made no reference to the overseas composite experts who submitted evidence? I suspect that if it had been a T-bucket, (beam axel, no rollover protection, horizontal steering wheel,.... etc.) there would not be an issue.

ul9601 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 looked at virm, it reads like mirror tint on any glass is banned, including sunroof? don't some pulsars have them on back glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Cannot have mirror tints unless they are factory. I don’t think a sunroof would be a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 How close can a fuel line (hard line) be to an exhaust pipe? Is a heat sheild/header wrap an acceptable solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 A friend of mine took her car for a wof and it failed on light surface rust underneath and they sed it needs a repair certificate before anything can be done, they recommend she scrap the car. Has the system changed recently or something? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Nope. Would need to be a hole bigger than 50mm unless it is near a suspension or seatbelt mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 no, repair cert is only for unregistered vehicles sounds like a wof insector who is afraid of getting in trouble so is applying rules that are not valid for wof 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 My recommendation would be to take it to a panel beater to assess and get a letter from them. End of the day it is up to the WOF inspector, so maybe try a different garage {after a wire brush and some rust converter} for a second opinion/ WOF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ul9601 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 the scissor jacking points on the sills are bent over and have some (what looks like surface) rust on them. the sills themselves look (and feel) fairly solid - i.e. jacked it up there and didn't crumble or crush any further than the existing damage. would it be ok just to wire brush and rust treat or do i need to reshape/unbend or whatever else to the original profile for WOF?

Beaver Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Feel like a dweeb for asking, but adjustable damping shock absorbers (with a real obvious adjuster knob). Should I expect issues come WOF time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datlow Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 thought they had pics, but its all upper sills not the flappy bits, https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/entry-certification/reference-materials/non-structural-cosmetic-damage/sillsrocker-panels-minor-damage does mention this though 'A vehicle is not required to be referred to a specialist repair certifier if it has minor underbody impact damage as a result of ‘grounding’ the vehicle or some scraping of the sill seams." https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/entry-certification/i-and-c/vehicle-structure/threshold-for-requiring-repair-certification 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Baldy Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Question for the cert guru/s. On the old falcons i can buy a rear swaybar kit. Ubolts onto the diff and requires drilling through the chassis in factory spot to fit the upper link mount. Would it be certifiable to make 3mm steel mount plates to weld to the diff, and instead of drilling the chassis to weld the link mounts on? Am trying to find a decent pic online to show the setup...
