Qld Laws Regarding Modiciation/australian Design Rules

[QBall-Cairns]

Have been reading the foums, specifically people's complaints about laws/regulations and have done some research.

Click the link below for QLD vehicle legislation.

Transport Operations

This contains lots of information particularly page 47 (Part 2 Australian Design Rules).

• Lighting
  
• Braking
  
• Emmissions
  
• Vehicle Markings
  
• Etc
  

Then there's always the easy reading stuff (link below).

Light vehicle modifications

This contains some information with most of it being how you interpret it.

I have asked MANY legal questions in a single, simple to comprehend e-mail to QLD Transport.

I'll post what I recieve if anything.

Here is what I have recieved:

My question was:

Is there a more recent document for vehicle modifications.

All I can find is one from January 2005 which will soon be 2 years old.

I am inquring specifically on Blow Off Valves fitted by a mechanic as well as seating modification.

The reply:

Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail.

You can view the modifications brochure at the following web address.

http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/LTASinf...s_modifications

If you have further questions you can contact our modifications department

on (07) 3253 4851.

Should you require any further information, please contact Queensland

Transport on telephone 13 23 80 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday

(Local call charge in Australia. Higher rates apply from mobile phones and

payphones. For international callers, please phone +61 7 3834 2011).

So basically nothing in writing.

I did find these on the Transport site though (click the links):

Light Vehicle Replacement Suspension Modifications (7 August 2003)

Seat Belts for Used Imported Vehicles (15 December 2005)

Auxiliary Driving Lamps Fitted to Motor Vehicles (30 June 2006)

Hope they help someone!

My interpretation of the Qld modifications law is that, you can pretty much do anything you want, just don't get pull over by a traffic cop, even in cars you have yet to modify.

Very true, but then again trying to make a getaway can make things so, so much worse!
