JustHarry Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just get longer springs? For 80mm lift you will likely need new shocks aswell Pretty sure over 50mm requires cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to spend any money, I fitted front shocks from a Land Cruiser so they are plenty long and when fully compressed they were the same length as the stock shocks compressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 If it's for use on the road, and you don't want to spend money, it's a pretty easy no. Doesn't seem like a good design and even if it was, it would need certing, so you're out of luck in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring lift doesn't require cert. Unless wof guy thinks he's above the rules 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mof Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Depends who you get at the place too. Used to fail, show them old lvv Threshold sheet, pass. Last guy I had would not let it go, eventually had to resort to "oh I'll give it to you this time, but next time...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hood Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 On 17/05/2020 at 14:32, hood said: No rust repairs there Clint, its clean on that side of things Yes, its getting all sorted at the shop. Well basically it has a minor dent in the cross member from coming into contact with a tow ball. Prior to the damage taking place the whole chassis had been cleaned up and painted. Any further input or similar experiences to share? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 If it was me, if it hasn't had other repairs that would need repair cert, and it hasn't got a whole bunch of fresh underseal and paint etc I'd just send it through compliance and see what they say A letter from the panelbeater wouldn't achieve anything, if anything you could pay a repair certifier to write you up something saying it doesnt require it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hood Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Awesome Clint, thanks for input on the matter. Fresh paint on the rails, but not on the underside of the cab though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hood Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Lastly Clint, is there anyone in particular who you reccomend i get in contact with? Or just simply pick someone from NZTA page who covers the BOP region? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Sorry I dont have a lot to do with repair cert guys so dont know anyone down that way, probably best to ask your panelbeater if he has one he recommends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 It appears my Toyota celica ga61 has been changed to class A registration. How do I go about changing it back to normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Probably a form at the post shop to get that sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mof Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Yes now that I re read it it doesn't seem vague, in fact it could be interpreted as being incredibly specific. What constitutes direct replacement? Aftermarket shocks? Aftermarket shocks that are "OEM replacement"? How do you prove that they are? OEM shocks? I mean if you really get specific then only the actual shocks that are removed from the vehicle are direct replacement for those shocks. I feel that you can clarify all you like, but this is the threshold sheet, it's not up to you. It's up to the wof testers, and they interpret these things in an incredibly broad spectrum.

ajg193 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If it bolts in without needing any modifications then it would be a direct replacement? /technically if you're nit picking, all springs need to be cut and heated by the manufacturer, so that line should really state something along the lines of "replacement springs have not been heated or cut after initial manufacturing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
