i agree with why they are doing it..... iv seen some stupid sh*t involving lowlux's at 80kmh doing "dumpies" producing a heap of sparks out the arse....

however it wont happen, and if it does, nothing like how they r saying now.....as sydkid said.... there are so many variables its not funny.

5cm Geeze thats crazy lets hope this doesnt get enforced you could get done for picking up a couple of mates, lucky i got fairly stiff coilovers i suppose at least they don't sag so much, but seriously this is rediculous just another stupid law.

Don't get me wrong i agree 100% with stopping those ediots that cut there springs on their fully sick VL but this is a bit over the top.

For those that wish to get coil overs but can't till after the deadline - just get an engineers report created for them (even though you dont actually have them) before the legislation is effective. I am sure someone who knows someone can help you out :P

And then again all of this is a bunch of hot air - we are not supposed to have sports air filters on our cars but I can assure you that almost every skyline has one. As long as your car is not rediculously low and blows sparks over every bump and you dont drive like hoon I am sure you won't have a problem.

these people really need to get a life... like really.. how many serious or even non serious accidents are there because of vehicle height?? most accidents are caused by speed and having 5 mates in the car.

Just to clear it up, height adjustable coil overs aren't legal, never have been. Unless the car comes with them standard from the manufacturer. So producing a dated receipt for a set of height adjustable coil overs on an R32/33/34 won't help you one little bit.

glad I dont own a skyline now :/

Don't get too smug, I went on a MX-5 cruise once, a cop pulled 2 of the MX-5s over and issued defects but let me go on my way :domokun:

Granted, they where driving like flamin' mongrels and I was just cruising lol

i recon if you are over 100mm off the ground you should be right without an engineers certificate. If your car has been lifted or lowered by more than 50mm I think you need an engineers certificate and give it to the RTA to be legal. Having a receipt for coilovers from pedders will mean jack shit. I dont think its possible for sports cars and family cars to be more than 50mm lower in ride height and still be over 100mm clear off the ground. And radical modification you do to your ride you should really get an engineers cert as if you crash you could void your insurance and the typical engineers cert only cost $500.

On engineers i hear they are clamping down on them very soon as up here in Newcastle a pejero just recently got caught by the RTA with an engineers cert allowing 44'' tires.

so just to clear this up, as i dont get when the car has to be engineered, i def wont have to money to lower my line before aug 1st, so after that, wen i go to pedders or somewhere and have them lower it, will they engineer it or will i have to drive around to a engineers place after it. wat happens if i get pulled over between then and there, " hey im just goin to the place now" " yea right heres ya fine, have a good one"

I thought this law was for lift kits?

Anyway to the point I dont know why everyone cares. You all have intake systems im sure, most deff run some form of boost controller or you even run a boost gauge into cabin. All defects and this is just another.

A defect is a defect and its still a f**kload of paper work.

hmm I skimmed through the link...

it's all well and good we need to fill these forms out but they don't specify the costs that will be involved for an 'adjustment of records'. knowing the RTA it's going to be a rort

this is all BS my springs I ordered aren't going to drop my car more than 1 inch and still be height legal, so Im not concerned about it being legal, what is pissing me off is the extra stuffing around & costs I will have to cop now

it says though any AUVIS station should be able to do the inspection, which means theoretically if a motor dealer's service dept was an auvis i could just take it there?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
