beachlander Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 wanting to create a new exhaust & tip but i've heard rumors that your exhaust isn't allowed to extend further than your bumper? True? if not how far is it allowed to protrude past? (currently pink stickered so i'l have to go through vtnz with it) cheers, oh also just curious about height restrictions as well if it IS allowed? ta. Pretty sure its 150mm past the rear most part of the body work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 where did you get that figure from? its not mentioned in the wof virm or the lvv exhaust standard. having an exhaust sticking out miles from the bumper is a fairly recent issue/trend so there is no rule as far as i know. having a hot bit of pipe sticking out where someone can walk into it would be frowned on by the authorities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 yea cant find it (online in usual places) but sounds like a fairly logical number/rule of thumb to go by? 6" max, any more any you'll attract attention etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have a friend who has modified his SUV. It's a ladder-type chassis with separate body construction. He installed a 50mm body lift kit. What is the legality of this setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Body lifts now require a cert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

be4ver Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 ok here i have a strut from a turbo ex lancer and im looking at fitting these here evo something calipers to them. The mounting holes are only a few mm off from fitting on there. Question is, will it be frowned upon if i were to slot the holes there slightly so the bolts go in?

japawagons Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Pretty sure its 150mm past the rear most part of the body work This figure has been quoted from the MSNZ Manual Schedule A, but is not a specified measurement used by either the NZTA or LVVTA.

Llama Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hey fellas, been looking at building myself a towbar to carry bikes (since my car would die trying to carry anything of size...), just wondering if it's legal to use one I've made myself or hacked up from parts? I've been looking around a bit, but all I find it stuff based on what you are towing, nothing on the actual towbar. Chur in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Pretty sure you can mash whatever on the back of your car as long as it can't be classed as a pedestrian trap, and doesn't affect any impact areas of the vehicle (not important on old cars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock-Lee Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 ^this. As long as its not a taxi/used for a busines you are safe. /that's what I was told when I enquired. *waits for Cletus the mighty* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Yes you can, as long as it's more tidy than "hacked". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datto_610 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hey Cletus have a couple of questions for you. First off, the exhaust goes through the rear crossmember on my Datsun 180B it's 3'' I.D the exhaust I want to run is 2.5'' O.D was just wanting to know if that will have a enough clearence or will I need to enlarge the factory hole by welding a piece of 3.5" pipe in place of the factory one?? My last question is regarding my front brake conversion. I'm following the write up here at http://ozdat.com/for...hp?f=31&t=15785 for my conversion, if you need more in depth info. On the write up it says to drill and tap the eyes for the brake calipers to either M14 fine or 9/16 UNF, 9/16 is easier to get but was just wanting to know if I could use UNC as its a lot cheaper. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 fine thread would be better but there isnt a rule saying it has to be. exhaust will be ok as long as you can keep it from rattling in that hole. decent mounts should stop it. you and Bart doing those rear camber adjusters?

Evan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 cletus! whats the deal with welding cast steel, everyone jumps up and down and says dont do it, A friend of mine has made his TCAs in his mk1 escort adjustable, now I know people say it is illegal however this guy http://oldschool.co....+rotary +anglia has done essentially the same thing (except he miged them,my friends tigged his) from what that anglias cert guy is saying, if its Tigged and crack tested its ok? or is it just a straight no? the search button throws different answers up. cheers.
