Vehicle Modifications

[T-MaKK]

We have 60 bike cops in Adelaide. 30 based at Port Adelaide, 30 based at Holden Hill. All male too.

I swear 80% have mustaches as well. My defect isfrom a motorbike cop for 3mm too low at the rear left hand side only.

force a bit more air in ur tyres n she'll be right!
P.S what is the legal height in SA?

... i found the PDF a little confusing..

[STEALTHY™]

ALL cars must be over 100mm, and theres also eyebrow heights to adhere to (most cars at eye brow height, will be lower than that 100mm)

What model is yours? i have the listing for commodoes up to VP

[T-MaKK]

yeah... about my model....

im yet to have one ..im currently broadening my knowledge of comms so by the end of the year ill know exactly what i want...

VX or VY most likely..

[STEALTHY™]

Don't have VY specs sorry. Ring your transport authority, as they have all the info you'll need.

[Goon]

Thanks, this saves me ringing up transport today hehe.

So, if my placard is ment for a 15" wheel and I put on a 17" with low profiles still within ADR rules and VicRoads standards - i'll be ok?

Also, if my vehicle is lowered using say king springs, would it be defected (even if it was still above 100mm)? a stock VS that is

No, it will still be illegal. A sticker doesn't mean anything. Not sure about vic, but sapol have a book with specs on what size wheels cars come with.

do you have the queensland rules

[Cobez]

Look up the Queensland RTA or whatever you guys have up there.

There is a pdf attachment, perhaps being new you may not be able to view it. I havent updated any of these in a long time, so best to check out updates. Might update the thread when i get a chance.

sorry that didnt help me... im trying to find out if there is anyway my ute will pass the pits with air bagged suspension, when lowered all the way the lowest point is about 3cm. when lifted all the way its about 12cm.

minux, don't know if you've seen this before > Link

Something we put together directly relating to wheels & tyres. It covers all states and territories and has links on the last page to all of the relevant state and territory legislation. Take note of the section about the NCOP at the start.

hi, i have a VZ calais and 2 weeks ago i put blue LED lights in the little side lights in the headlights, there just show lights not vision lights to see the road and i got pulled over tonight and got a defect note to change them... i have gone past so many cops and never been pulled over with them, i also got told when i got them fitted that you can have all colours but pink and red because it looks to much like the back of the car. if anyone can help me with this would be very helpful thanks.

[DJ_Smak2003]

I read in another thread that your not allowed blue and red cause blue and red are cop colours and also maybe not the colours of traffic lights lol cause there r stupid ppl on the road that will think your green little LED means floor it straight into the side of the car driving through the intersection

I'd be checking for any major rust first, you don't want to buy a whole new engine only to find your current one is held in place with the power of thought and remnants of what was a mount. Otherwise some pics and more info would help.

If you haven't yet you should post your ride here:
VB - VC - VH - VK

You will get more responses and ideas from here.

Will a 6hdd vs gearbox work in a vr

Hey everyone, I have been searching but haven't had any luck, my brother is looking at completing his VY R8 as he's done pretty much what he can N/A and we were looking to find what the rules are as having something out of the bonnet. We were told you can have like a filter hanging out by only about 4mm. Any ideas ? Were lookin at maybe blowing it. Also were in VIC.

I think it's 14cm, and any moving parts have to be covered by a scoop or some shit.

if your in vic foret about it, doesnt matter what the law states, they will book you

[Problemchild_87]

Im looking to have a engine built early next year V6 4.2 supercharged stroker has anyone had any luck getting engineering cert/Mod plated in NSW?

Thanks Problemchild

[vxcustom]

The answer to your question is in Victoria you are allowed to make one intake modification. Any more than this and the epa will get you regardless of adrs. Fitting a pod filter = one intake change, bigger throttle body = one intakek change so both together do not meet the requirements and are therefore defectable.
