.......I don't get how they

- measure unladen
- measure arch opening when OEM flare is fitted
.......

They don't need to measure. There are dimensions on record for each make and model.

Er they still need to get a tape measure out.......on my car the OEM flare goes past the top of the arch.

The dimensions on record are not correct, well don't add up and I believe are different from the manufacturers handbook/specs......and they only state unladen, Bump stop and on later cars minimum height accepted. How do they measure utes with trays fitted?

Have you actually checked your against the system??

Can anybody make this link work for post 1999

http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/rvd-pre1999/index.htm

Nope, its broken. It was working a few weeks ago when I was doing some research, but I'm guessing someone broke it.

When it worked you would select the vehicle and it would output a report like this one attached:

Worked OK for me, pre and post '99...

[GeoffA]

Only to measure the current height. Original is on record.

...on my car the OEM flare goes past the top of the arch.

I guess you mean that the flare wraps under the wheel arch.....your win there....

Correct or not, that's what they would use. The numbers would probably have been supplied by the manufacturer at time of compliance.

How do they measure utes with trays fitted?

Don't know....bump stops maybe?

Have you actually checked your against the system??

Several times, but only the wheel centre to underside of wheel arch.

Hope this works.

Didn't, sorry.
Was for a 2000 Landcruiser 4x4.
It's what you put into the query box for Brand, year, Model.
That's what works or doesn't, depending on which vehicle your chasing.
Both Sections Pre and Post 1999 Vehicles, do work.

[SEADOO]

Seadoo, when the time comes and you or a member of your family needs the help of the "Gestapo" I hope you treat them with a bit more respect than your post indicates.

House gets robbed, "sorry sir, they'll get there when they can". 3 days later.

Black gangs walking around stabbing and robbing every one, not a cop to be seen.

Drive a 9 month 4WD with a OME 40mm suspension lift fitted by a professional installer, fit a 265/75/16 LT BFG (up from a 245/70/16) get bounced on by 3 cops, booked and loss of vehicle.


Yep. Sounds fair.

About time the cyclist get fined.

I saw in the latest Unsealed online mag on page 76 that one can in Qld lift the suspension with 50mm and the tyres with 50mm without needing an engineer certificate.
Is this true or should it stated that you can lift each by 50mm but the combine cannot be more than 75mm?

Right now, 50mm only, 1mm extra in tyres and you need a mod plate.
Proposed change is to allow 50mm bigger tyres, but it isn't law yet and people are getting pinged for doing it.

[PWE]

I have a LC76 2012 model, so no ESC

The rules are (copy and past from website)

Without ESC-
A vehicle lift up to and including 75mm combining both suspension lift and tyre diameter increase (maximum suspension lift 50mm, maximum tyre diameter increase 50mm) is acceptable under self-certification.

[DaveR]

Wow, 10 pages. Hope I get the time for a good read through to find a verdict....
Now that I am in the game of shifting cars about for a living, I have come across a few things of interest.
The last crack down was lowered and loud sports cars, fast and furious types with big turbo's etc. Apparently the reaction was nothing compared to the 4wd crack down.

[edz]

Dave, Thats because they're used to being the ones hit on all the time and then some gave it up to go to 4wd's and were getting away with the Mods .................................................. Till NOW ......

fixed it for you. 

[gronk]

What I couldn't find was the exact wording of the tyre lift......even though it says 25mm, does that mean an allowable 50mm diameter increase, which equates to a 25mm lift ??

[Luke_D]

Yep u r correct front.  50mm diameter to gain the 25mm lift.

[Luke_D]

A big thanks to 4wd Qld and AAAA for taking the fight to the bastards.
