Nsw Rms Light Vehicles Modification Guide Updated 8/11/2013


Recommended Posts

Can someone delete the spam post and sticky this thread? Is a great resource

I deleted the posts, hopefully the IPs get blocked soon too. It's not just the NSW section, either.

Also, topic "stickied" for easier reference.

What is this spam shit that is getting through the forums lately? Why SAU!! It is grinding my gears. Mods need to do something about the signing up / privledges to post.

Yeah, as above, I've deleted it. I'm only a Moderator, so that's as much as I can do. I have let the Admins know that the users and/or IP addresses need to be blocked.

In the mean time, I need to get me some Ugg boots! :P

Theres some interesting 'very grey' areas there. I'd suggest to anyone with a vehicle modified within the criteria to keep a copy in their car, to show anyone inspecting the car on the roadside that certain items they think are defective are not (you probably won't win, it'll just make them more angry - especially if you have a rego inspectors ticket & they only have a badge).

I think they've tried so hard to make it easy to read/understand that they've missed some critical detail.

eg; An engine that is not of an original family of engine for the series of models, or any engine more than 20% larger than the largest original optional engine for that series.

Does that mean I can replace my 1JZ with a 2JZ? (20% increase in capacity)
I'm pretty sure it doesn't but it kind of sounds like I can??
Example not requiring certification:
• Replacement of a 2.0 litre engine with an engine of 2.4 litres capacity or less and from the same vehicle series.

Interesting - that'd preclude swapping my 4G94 with a 4G69 then - two Lancer VRX from 2004, but one's a CH and the other CG, so no swapping I guess.

...Not that I'd spend money on doing that, though.

edit:: but it sounds like swapping it for a 2.0 4g93 is a-okay with certification? helloooooooo evo engine

So swapping and rb25det with an rb26det still requires a certificate?

The only one I'm going to have a problem with (since I got defected the other week for it) are aftermarket seats

I've got bride seats + rails in my 34

Would I have any problems getting them engineered?

Fitting of seats to non-original seat anchorages.
Example requiring certification:
Fitting seats using anchorages not originally supplied by the manufacturer.

seats dont meet ADR however no modifications to anchorages have been made so engineering will be a breeze! i had mind noted on my report aswell

Even though the rails are brides?

Who did you go through for the engineering cert?

Who did you go through for the engineering cert?

ill have to check my cert when i get home. Arsed if i remember

yeah rails will be fine given they bolt all to the factory location using factory mounts etc

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
