If a car on the road needs a cert for something that is factory fitted to another car, that factory car should need a cert on entry before rego. If I doesn't meet cert rules, it shouldn't be allowed on the road unless modified to meet the rules. Should get some horrible sounding, loud harleys off the road. #oldman LS1 in Corolla vs Commodore or whatever they come in? Quote

More like a factory car coming with super loud exhaust that is switchable by the driver at the push of a button. Can't fit it aftermarket, why should it be allowed when factory fitted? Just because something is factory fitted, doesn't mean it should be exempt from the rules that everything else has to live by. 7 Quote
ajg193 Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 That actually really does clear up your argument, good point. 1 Quote
Bling Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Which factory car are we talking about that's exhaust is beyond the noise limits? 2 Quote
yetchh Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Maserati's are pretty noisy.. Not that I'm complaining.. I like noise Quote
ul9601 Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 If I take a car for WOF well before its expiry and it fails, is the car legal or not? Quote
johnnyfive Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Unexpired WOF is still valid, though vehicle safety and legality to operate on the day still falls on the operator, regardless of WOF status. 3 Quote

So if a cop pulls me over and runs WOF check, it should be still cool then? What about insurance cover? Cheers Quote
Snorkpipe Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 The sticker is still valid, but the car is not road legal due to being not up to WOF standard, no different to going for a fresh wof then throwing a set of slicks on 5 Quote
AllTorque Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 If you fail a wof, it is entered into wof online and your car no longer has a current wof, even if it hasn’t expired in the sticker. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/introduction/inspection-and-certification-process/operating-a-vehicle-without-a-current-wof-or-cof 5 2 Quote
ul9601 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 So what's the deal with WOF inspection up to 2 weeks prior to expiry is allowed without bringing forward the next expiry date in case of pass? I don't see the point of it??? Quote
ajg193 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Lets you book it in for a time that is suitable for the workshop/you. I always get my WoF 2 weeks before expiry Quote
JoKer Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 they also have the discretion to post date it 2 weeks / that Quote
Driven Goose Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Any suggestions on who to talk to/how to go about getting a collapsible steering setup in my project? Not quite there yet, but probably going to go with option C from 7.13.1 in the NZCCM: "collapsibility into the lower steering column or steering intermediate shaft, by a sliding section" As it is a scratch built I have to have some sort of collapsibility built in.

No vehicle can have a driver switchable exhaust. But a car can be fitted with an automated switching exhaust. But the "open" position has to be below the legal limit. So a "legal" setting and "quieter" setting if you will. 3 Quote
