GARDRB Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 If I want to have another set of wheels added to my cert plate, it has been discussed that this can be done for $100. Does this have to be done by the original certifier? Or can I go through a different certifier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Just a heads up for anyone interested - from Jan 1st 2013 the "20-year emissions rule exemption" (for used imports) is reverting back to a rolling year system, to bring it in line with the current rolling year systems for frontal impact and LHD exemptions. So instead of only being able to import and register vehicles manufactured before Dec 31st 1989, from next year vehicles manufactured up until 1993 can be brought in and registered. In other words, no more SIV permits will be required for 1992 Skyline GT-Rs etc. (and 1991 FC3S Infini IVs...) YAY, it means you can start bringing in FD's AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muncie Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 If i drop a v8 into my Triumph 2500 What are the definate other upgrades needed to pass cert? i've done 2 rover v8 conversions on them and got them certed but that was 8-10 years ago so suspect things are bit harder now. main thing is will i need to do the brakes? as they are all basicly new and pull up real good.

RUNAMUCK Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Is there any rules regarding the construction of surge tanks? LIke could I just get 150mm of 3" exhaust tube (Steel) and have a top and bottom fizzed on, along with a couple of hose tails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 that would be sweet, just make sure its mounted well a lot of ones i see are held in with self tappers or rivets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this have to be done by the original certifier? Or can I go through a different certifier? its up to the individual certifier how much this costs doesnt have to be done by the same certifier. it often turns into a cockup because the car is mysteriously lower than when it was certed or there are more mods than the owner lets on and needs re certing anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Dear Mr cert man, if a car had a drivers side air bag factory, but the steering wheel has beenchanged to an after market item, will a standard cert cover this change? Cheers, VG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AG_Addict Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Can't find the link right now, but know that vehicle must be at least 14 years old before removal of airbag steering wheel is allowed & able to be certified. Also allowed in race car with current motorsport authority card i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
