Not as many goodies as it did have. A lack of motivation to advertise it, but selling would be the sensible thing to do as it just sits in the garage.
These look very neat and well blended(just be warned that to be "legal" in NSW they MUST NOT be able to allow escaping Coolant/Oil etc. to eject onto the Windscreen(in the event of an Engine detonation or radiator failure).:zlove:
same in WA, (or at least areas) that is how they defect all rear facing cowls and vents in Gero even though there is no actual reference to rear facing.
There used to be, but now that its all standardised, the reference has gone. So technically it could be argued that it is no longer illegal and any defect squashed as a result, as they must legally provide a reference under tech specs to enforce the defect. Unless you can show a reference, it must be accepted that is within the law under any legal interpretation
I'll bet it doesn't specifically mention Rotating Sharpened Blades(as fitted to Roman Chariot wheels)either, Perry(Mason), but I wouldn't like to try my luck by fitting same.:bash::rolleyes2:
The WA vehicle modification laws are very clear; body modification requires certification http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/modify-a-light-vehicle.asp. Vehicles that have modifications to the body that have not been certified can be issued with a compliance notice http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/yellow-sticker.asp.
There is still nothing specific that prohibits it as long as it is done within specifications The reason why it was removed under states standardisation was because it was an excess law - i.e. If you have oil or water coming through vents on your bonnet, that is a specific defect (fluids leaking) or if the design weakens the structure (which is not a given if it was done correctly IMO). Your quoting relates to body modifications and not panels Rob. Panels are not considered as body modifications under the legal definition, because they can be removed via bolts, this is why you can have fibreglass panels but not fibreglass rear quarter panels (as long as they comply with the relevant requirements - such as not being dangerous etc.) Its easy to give a defect sticker, but its another thing to uphold that without quoting the specific breach later under tech specs auspices/ oversight. There is no specific quote anymore that relates to vents being backward - because the problem is fluids leaking as such (and not the vents) and this is already covered by specific laws under the new standardisation of all state laws That's my legal interpretation anyway - but each to their own :rofl: :zlove:
I've searched for ADR's on rear facing bonnet vents & can't find any reference to them in official documents. There is plenty of data available concerning the requirements for forward facing bonnet scoops Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Is there a link available regarding the legality of this "modification" in relation to ADR's?
No - the fact that it is not there is actually what counts (although there used to be before the standards of one state were removed - due to standardisation rules between all states) You won't find things in the ADR's that don't apply i.e. You would be pushed to find an ADR on turbo stickers on quarter panels (if you get my gist) - The fact that it is not there doesn't mean you cannot have a turbo sticker on a quarter panel Tech specs must give you a reference for any defect - if its not there, they cannot reference it - (hope that makes sense) :zlove:
Your best source of information regarding vehicle modification in NSW is http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents...ndards/vsi-06-light-vehicle-modifications.pdf
This is misinformation. Guidelines for light vehicle modification, including certification of modification, are issued by state entities (ie RMS, Vic Roads, Transport WA, etc). The guidelines and legislation are not the same between states. If you bothered to read the document you would see that it relates to ALL modifications. It's really very clear. For the benefit of anyone reading please take a moment to consider that you are in no way shape or form qualified to offer legal advice before posting.
1 rear facing vent just behind the stock fan would be my preference for cooling. The theory is to create a exhaust exit for the fan. like this with a letter box style nose, air pushed into radiator via nose sucked through by stock fan, exits bonnet. This is pure function over what looks good.
Once again this red herring is thrown up again by the same people who did it in the last 5 old threads. Rearward facing vents are NOT illegal in any state. There is NO stipulation on direction in ANY of the mod rules in any of the states. Only on protrusion size above the bonnet.... Where there is a cylinder diameter test for safety of pedestrians that may be hit. http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279889&highlight=bonnet+vent Give the rear facing vent furphy a rest for gods sake..... There is NOTHING about fluids, coolant, or even shit being stopped from exiting the bonnet in any of the rules for any of the states...... If you believe there is find it and post it up because THERE ISNT ANY.... Been there AND done that........
Likewise - hence why I stated that's my opinion. In fact no one is qualified to post a legal opinion, not even a lawyer let alone you
