LVVTA (Certification) and WOF Standards and Thresholds


Koom

Recommended Posts

If you're looking at modifying anything on your car and want to know what you can and can't do check these websites first.

For modifications and Certification details:

http://www.lvvta.org.nz/

The stuff you can legally modify without needing a cert is listed here;

http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/suplementary_information/LVVTA_LVV_Cert_Threshold.pdf

The Low Volume Vehicle code and the various standards can be found by clicking on the Documents link on the LVVTA main page.

http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents.html

If you've been told that your modifications aren't legal when going for a WOF, then I'd also suggest checking the thresholds pdf before removing your modifications as they do change from time to time and you'd be surprised (or not) at how many of the thresholds some of the WOF inspectors aren't up to the play with.

And no, you can't have a screamer off your wasty.....

For WOF Standards:

http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/virm-in-service-certification/virm-in-service-certification.html

If you look through this manual, you will be able to check everything that the WOF inspectors have to check to ensure that your car is road legal (I would say safe but since they've been including noise its not all about safety - my opinion).

In regards to another thread involving this article

http://www.performancecar.co.nz/articles/technical-articles/what-are-the-laws-for-where-exhaust-pipes-exit-the-car-nzpc-112

Contrary to the statements on previous thread it does not say that externals do not need certification but states that they can be legal if plumbed back. It is not a guarantee that they are always legal.

to add to this without targeting any person in particular.

 

before you pick someone for LVV cert, understand depending on who you get, it could be a long and dragged out process. the requirements are there in black and white but also seems a lot of it is up to the judgement of the certifier so very subjective. update your WOF and stuff before you do any mods requiring cert and ask around about your options for certifier, what other peoples experiences have been who they would or wouldn't recommend.

 

edit : oh, and because of the price ($600 at time of writing this), try to get all your work done before going for the cert otherwise you will have to pay the price again later.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
