The least fucked out of the three then becomes the spare. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igor 11,629 Report post Posted March 5 I've been caught out like that too Jesse. When I bought my XC it had four nice Fairmont mags with 195/60/14s and the spare was a steelie with a full height radial. Not long after I got it I put the spare on the rear and it drove so badly I had to stop and change it to the front for the short journey to the nearest tyre shop. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cletus 32,558 Report post Posted March 9 New version of wof threshold comes out 1st April Theres some changes to what you can do without cert. The main change is fuel systems, it was quite open to mods before, now its the opposite. @ajg193 you might need to get a cert next time 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajg193 7,425 Report post Posted March 9 Get fekked kent. /I'll book it in for a cert some time this week. Looks like I lost the game. Do you have a link to the changes? Would be good to get a full read, current VIRM page doesn't show the changes as far as I can see /edit, found change previews https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/75289/In-service-VIRM-amendment-April-2020-WoF-only.pdf Also new: "Minor modifications do not include carburetor to injector" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajg193 7,425 Report post Posted March 9 Cert booked for 17th. $590. That's 10 tanks of fuel. Or 10 wofs. Or a whole set of tyres. One and a half weeks of full time income for me. Oh vell. Gotta be legal-shmegal. Edit: Also, does anyone know what happened to the LVVTA standard for fuel systems? I can't find it anywhere anymore and would like to avoid paying the $11 for the chapter from the CCM if at all possible. Just want to make certain it is all done to spec. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kicker 18,236 Report post Posted March 9 Anyone know if there any issues around this rear spring setup cert wise? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cletus 32,558 Report post Posted March 9 Just the usual common sense stuff... make sure the shock and spring rates are compatible, spring is captive, sits in the seat properly etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kws 3,448 Report post Posted March 9 That makes me sad. Needing a cert for carb-efi or efi-carb? Really? It also limits ALL reflashing and tuning for cars without a cert. Technically that means replacing the old Bosch ECU in my SD1 with Speeduino would need a cert. Is NZ slowly turning into Aus? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, that hasn't changed, the needing cert for a different ecu only applies to turbo or supercharged cars, and that has been that way for a long time 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roman 11,473 Report post Posted March 18 Ive just been revisiting the hardlines for my fuel and return lines. Easily one of the most wankerish jobs to have to sort out. Can you cert having AN hoses just run full length from motor to tank? Or do you need a hard line? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
