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

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
