Bling Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Is there any possible reason other than scene? Have seen blue done on a show car before, which from memory was all road legal. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2617510/1994-toyota-corolla/photo-gallery/ Quick question time. Are there requirements to have locating rings for mags for cert? I may end up with nothing left to fit a locating ring to when fitting mag wheels. Wheels in question have tapered wheel nuts. Have browsed the wheels / tyres PDF, but still not sure. Figured it might be an easy one you'd come across quite often. Aiming to not use any spacers. Quote

M.H. Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 When converting a car to auto does it have to be able to go into park? It's shifted electronically and only uses a cable for park Quote

Figured it might be an easy one you'd come across quite often. Aiming to not use any spacers. My certifier said yes; so I had to make some up, as they weren't available in the sizes I needed. My friend has an HK Monaro and his rear axle has nowhere to put locating rings on the hubs (hilux diff conversion), so his certifier said he didn't need them. 1 1 Quote
Bling Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Hmmm yeah pretty sure i'll have nowhere to actually put a locating ring. Will see what certifier says in a few weeks. 1 Quote
Nominal Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 There's nothing in the LVVTA standard https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Wheels_&_Tyres.pdf about locating rings so you should be fine. 2 Quote

But let’s say one wants to tint all windows yellow/blue/other colours for no reason other than scene points Nothing in the Virm about coloured tints. Can not be reflective and must let in 35% of the light. So go hard. Quote

Yeah, I’d had a solid hunt through it at work and couldn’t see anything, so just thought I’d ask for others opinions/interpretations 1 Quote
cletus Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 The only time you have to have locating rings is if you are fitting wheel spacers Otherwise as long as something centers the wheel you'll be fine. That includes tapered wheel nuts or shank nuts 2 1 Quote

Not sure exactly what your question is. Anything further than 100mm in from the edge of the screen is a fail. You can have whatever you want (opacity wise) so long as its not further than 100mm from edge or lower than the OE visors I guess? People have windscreen banners all the time, both solid and just words. A spray application should be fine too, so long as it meets all the requirements. 1 Quote

People have windscreen banners all the time, both solid and just words. A spray application should be fine too, so long as it meets all the requirements. Yeah I've seen plenty of people have fully opaque overlay but VIRM does say it has to be transparent but then later on it says print should be no lower than 100mm from the top edge so they seem kinda contradictory to me. The other one was about where the OE visor line is from outside or inside - that was a bit of a dumb question but I was trying to understand the intent of that particular rule. Quote
Bling Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Well the visor line will be from inside I imagine as that is the only point from which vision would be obstructed. I've just checked the VIRM to get some context as I couldn't work it out from the quote. Rules for overlays are different for front windscreen and all other windows. The way I read it, you can have overlay to the line of OE visors. You can't have any print or otherwise below 100mm. Which is because you can't have anything solid further from the edge of the windscreens than 100mm. Visors would need to be huge to allow overlay to be further than 100mm down the screen. Just how I read it. With a spray can, you're not going to have any print or anything else solid, so you work to the OE visor line. 1 1 Quote
JoKer Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 100mm from the top edge that's it : front glass is like Headlights literally a no-go area for mods or go ahead & try it & report back Quote
