AllTorque Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 It is not legal to paint a white plate black. I haven't heard of anyone getting a ticket for it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/licensing-rego/number-plates/ http://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1998/0110/latest/DLM3701906.html http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/1995/0136/latest/DLM201140.html http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1998/0110/latest/DLM3705398.html#DLM3705398 Here is an email reply from the NZ Police regarding this matter. A bit out of date: Thank you for your email dated 21 September 2011. Registration plates with a black background and silver lettering were produced until November 1986, no further black and silver plates were manufactured after this date. A plate with a 3 letter 3 number combination (i.e. ABC123) would not have been manufactured on Black and Silver plates. Legislation states that only official registration plates may be used. Therefore the plates displayed on this vehicle will not be legal. My understanding is that it is not legal. The legislation doesn't account for people painting later plates to look like the early ones however due to the reflective background on modern plates, painting them (legal on older plates to 'restore' them)is modifying them from their original purpose. They will no longer work as intended (the 'distinguishing mark/marks' are no longer visible). I have seen a driver receive a ticket for using them, but he was a cunt. I've been pulled over with them and the cop didn't mention them. It hasn't really been targeted specifically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Fonts are also incorrect on modern plates. /I'm still waiting to be pulled over for my home made plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 A few years ago I took a Ford Anglia for a reVIN, it failed on brake performance but it has a 1600 motor in it witch they didn't notice, would that need a cert, or would no one ever notice? I need to finish it and get them to do another inspection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Insurance might notice if you park it in the side of something expensive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have just removed the adjustable suspension from one of my cars, its certed for that and a bunch of other stuff too. Is the wof man going to tell me to refit my aftermarket suspension (i have other track cars now and am enjoying actually having some suspension travel too). Or complain that the height listed on the cert plate doesn't match actual height? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Clint, Whats the deal with chassis mods? If I were to say, buy the back section of a chassis that is IRS, and stitch it to the rest of my chassis in my Crown wagon (talking solid chassis cars here) whats the legal requirements? I assume fish plates, but thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Benno Posted April 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2017 Not relevant to the topic, but please don't do that stupid F shit. This isn't facebook, commenting F does not notify you when there are replies. Do this if you really want notifications for this topic, don't spam up the thread. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Lol. I don't do face book, so was about to ask what the fuck f meant, unless you happened to be referring to the diff head code, which in this situation, will in fact be an ' f ' 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsnz123 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 you know I never knew that button was there. back on topic slightly. @Seedy Al why convert from (I'm assuming) live axle and leaves to IRS. Crown wagons aren't fast enough to benefit from the improved cornering. Unless its Massive turbo 2JZ-GTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Is there not a crown which comes full chassis and IRS from around 1990 (ish) or maybe sedan only..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yeah but changing whole chassis opens it's own issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Handling benefits? Na mate, this is all in the name of slam I guess. Although to correct its already 4 link and coil springs from factory. Kinda want to go full retard and air bag this thing. But being a Wagon with a dicki seat I don't want to sacrifice any floor obstructions with diff heads and c notches. As far as full chassis swap goes I would encounter the same issues, and others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
