Where did you obtain the NZTA rating from? There should not be a difference between NZTA and Carjam as they both come from the same register. I use both carjam and the motorvehicle register (landata) on nearly a daily basis, the information has never differed. NZTA does have the authority to change ...

Just been on the phone with a Nissan guy (who was talking to a guy in Aussie) and, for my model, the kerb weight is 2160, GVM is 2800. And GCM is 5300. The GCM in this case is a combination of GVM and GTM. They've said increasing GVM will, in this case, increase GCM as well. Does towball downforce ...

How would one get in touch with the technical committee?, via a certifier?.

So I called em up and they said it could be done. Result!.

Do you need to submit it to the Technical Committee? Have they given you a process to work through?

Would goosenecking a formerly ford transit-camper and putting a class 5/ turntable on my truck be up your alley? Follow-up question, could you make a quick-detach turntable hitch? I'm guessing not, but have to ask! If it has a GVM of over 3500kg the those modificaitons will require certification ...

What are the rules/regs concerning the fitment of a live axle in place of independent front suspension in a vehicle that has a monocoque chassis?, Cheers. Sorry for the slow reply Nivaman. Unfortunately I do not have access to the Hobby Car Manual at the moment which you would need to refer to ...

Shouldn't be a problem, Brian may have been passed it my way anyway. I am working in with Brian, he is quite busy and has been trying to slow down a little so is passing off a lot of repair and re-cert work my way. He's getting too old to climb under vehicles he reckons :D PM me your contact details ...

So Mike saw me trying to get my new website out there via facebook and suggested I put a post up due to ORE's google pull. Recently I have stated my own business J Dodds Ltd - Transport Design & Certification based just north of Auckland in Warkworth however can work mobile all over New Zealand. www ...

Regarding the welding electrode strength look for in in the Specification / Classification of the wire.

e.g. AS/NZS 14341 B-G49, the 49 x10 = the tensile strength in MPA so 490 MPA
If its American it will be something like ER70-6 the 70 means 70,000 PSI Tensile strength

You have me thinking as well, I'm a heavy vehicle transport enginner/certifier. This is a little different than what I typically come across and I havent been 4wding for about 5 years so its a good head scratcher in regards the different loading scenarios. In regards to the material spec 1090 has a ...

What is the max stress reached for that loading scenario? its a little hard to read. The way in which you have fixed your link arm is not that realistic, if you consider a simple beam with both ends fixed (which is similar to how you have fixed it) the beams bending moment is half that of if it was ...

Wanted 80 series cruiser lower tailgate, prefer the maroon colour without the rear wheel mount but will take anything in good condition.

Also after a drivers seat, not too fussed what model it is from.

I'm located in Auckland so closer the better.

I'm looking at purchasing one of these soda blasters m Looking at using it mainly for a restoration I'm doing on an old trail bike and probably a bit of part clean up on the 80 series when its due for a birthday. Does anyone have any experience with these or similar products and can give me their ...

Legislation is here http://nzta.thomsonreuters.co.nz/DLEG-N ... 5001_1.pdf in since 2002. Relevant sections 10.1 and 7.1(1)I.

Nothing has changed its just how people chose to interoperate the law to suit their situation much like that TradeMe add, that vehicle is certainly not a temporary tow, it is has been modified to be towed permanently.

A vehicle which operates on the road has to comply with all requirements of the Vehicle Compliance Rule 2002 and other relevant legislation to which is a requirement for that class of vehicle at time of entry inspection and continued compliance. Just because the vehicle is under tow it does not ...

Which 350 are you fitting? I've got an adapter kit to a td42 manual and starter which may fit out of the one I parted out last year if your interested.

We ran a sparkshop even charger to take care of the computer and starter. Kept everything else 24v. Still have that to sell too

I worked with Paul closely for a few years when I was coach building in Kerikeri on the Heavy Vehicle Certification side. Always found him knowledgeable and approachable. Id suggest you go back to him and ask him and have a chat about the areas in question. LVVTA certifiers have no real discretion ...

Hi Phil, No harm in using while leaking a little bit but I would check the oil level before your trip. Speedi sleeves are from bearing places, Farrells in Hamilton, did mine a while ago, bit awkward to fit as the fitting tool that they come with is not long enough so i made one out of a bit of tube ...

Time to ask for it back and sell it to me

Bump,

Have found some axles out of OZ but have pulled the diff head and found the axle splines on that are pretty worn to so am looking for a 4.1 ratio high pinion front diff if anyone has one.

Bugger, thanks for looking.

Still after some if anyone else has any. Wreckers arent that keen to separate them out and if they want an arm and a leg.

Awesome, cheers. Not in need of CV's but if they are no good to you id take them too.

Yup still sitting there. Will flick some through tomorrow.
