    Incorrect. If any item marked on your cert plate has been modified since certification to differ from that plate, you must update your cert. If you had read the thresholds and legislation surrounding certification you would know this.

    Here you go - Ill save you the trouble of apologizing. I did read it.

    Here is the clause from the LVV code. Perhaps I missed something?

     

    2.3(3) A modified vehicle is not required to be LVV certified, or further certified, in order to

    be operated on the road, if:

    (a) the modifications could not affect continued compliance with any applicable

    safety‐related legal requirements prescribed by New Zealand land transport

    legislation of any components or systems within the vehicle when

    manufactured or previously modified; or

    (b) the modifications are listed within the LVVTA LVV Modification Threshold

    Schedule; or

    © the modified vehicle is authorised by an LVV Authority Card, for a specific

    purpose listed in Annex 5, and the owner can present such authorisation that

    approves each modification that is subject to an applicable safety‐related

    legal requirement prescribed by New Zealand land transport legislation, in

    the form of a valid LVV Authority Card held in the name of that owner.

    If the wheels do fit the modification threshold then it doesnt need to be recerted.

    You need to cert when:

    "Wheel and tyre changes (non-OEM items), e.g. wheels wider than the bodywork, or with spacers or a different offset to the OEM design. Tyres with more than 5% greater rolling circumference than the OEM tyres."

    The fact that you have a cert for other items shouldnt impact on other legal changes that dont require a cert.

    Obviously you cant put lower profile tyre / wheel combos that would impact on the existing cert causing the car to be lower to the ground. The measurement however is from the wheel center to the guard (which shouldnt change)

    A green sticker is for boy racer mods and pink sticker is for an unsafe vehicle. You can still be permitted to drive somewhere on both.

    What sort of car is it to save all the guessing about rims

    Chuck some OE rims back on it and take it back to VTNZ and plead innocence ;-)

    Thinking out loud....I wonder if connecting the test plugs under the dash would help. eg the black and or green CEL plugs.

    Can one or either be plugged in full time?

    The nuvi connects to the HD but the HD doesnt connect to the car.

    I know the OBD port works as I have a tatrix cable that can monitor values via the laptop.

    Id like to see it work, It'd frustrate the hell out of me to flick it off and admit failure ;-)

    Has anyone tried one of these?

    Garmin EcoRoute

    I got given one that should pair with my nuvi1390.

    Im having trouble pairing as doesnt appear to finish handshaking. Its plugged into the obd port with no other changes as per instruction. The LED remains blue and solid (as if its connected) but the screen says otherwise. It does recognize that there is one plugged in though.

    I also tried the android app which detects it but fails on the communication protocols. So same story, it can detect it but doesnt finish the connection

    Its on a 2001 legacy. Garmins incompat list doesnt show this model.

    Back to google.........
