For Questions Regarding WOFs/CERTs/NUMBER PLATEs

[Esky_addict]

Mint found it now. Turns out the phone if been running for the last 2 years has a junk folder hidden away, all this time I have been checking the spam folder, 2 different things apparently

Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked. 

Just had my starlet fail a WoF for the RCAs under the struts, which have been fitted for 5 or so years. They're Techno Toy Tuning. Anyone had any experience with this? Am I able to get something from a cert guy without paying mega bucks?

I found this:Pdf

I'm currently removing them to go for a recheck.

Cheers

They need to be certified, or taking them out is probably easier if the car doesnt need a cert for anything else

Is it absolutely 100% mandatory to get the welding on my front struts crack tested for cert? It's ages away from any cast parts, and was welded by a skilled fabricator (i.e. not by me).

 

 

[cletus]

Depends what bit you have welded. 

If you have just welded a threaded part on for an adjustable platform- no

If you have welded a new tube on - yes  

If you welded on an adjustable platform and shortened the shock- yes

slightly off topic - it's illegal to park a car on a street and put a car cover over it, hence rear reflectors are obscured, right?

NZ road code

• A motor vehicle must not be parked on the road during the hours of darkness unless it is clearly visible to other road users. This means it should be lit by street lights, or you should turn on the tail lights and the side light nearest the centre of the road on the front of the vehicle.
• A light, flat-decked vehicle that is parked on the street at night must display a rear red light that:
  • is on the side of the vehicle closest to the centre of the road
  • is visible at a distance of 100 metres.

which is annoying because it is required per WOF. what's the point eh. or what's the point of having reflectors.

i see trucks and that have offside tail light on - do they have different rules?

[igor]

Pretty sure they do, yes.

[tortron]

Yes within the last year they either changed it or started cracking down on it as all the trucks at work had them installed within a week

[CaMpylobacter]

Yeah night light on trucks parked roadside has always been a thing. Cops crack down on it now and then.

Maybe they should be catching all the murderers instead 

[igor]

Is it still considered a flat deck if the sides and tailgate are up though?

[tortron]

Yes. Still considered a flatdeck if it's a beaver tail too

Ive revinned an au falcon and l300 mitsi this year

 

$400 for the inspection and then to get the plates had to pay $234 and that includes 6 months rego

If you are going to sell it you can just do the revin and its issued its wof and then get the plates/register it when someone buys it

[RUNAMUCK]

$400.isnt too bad.

I got given a free car last weekend. I reckon for a $300 outlay it would pass a revin. And then be worth $1500-$2k

Apart from being filthy as fuck (I'm going to burn the seats) it's great in the body.

[M.H.]

Check with your local revin place as prices vary, I get mine done at the AA in napier as the guy is pretty lax and does them for $400 (normally $450) and vtnz charge $579 and are cunts
