Lift up to 50mm is still OK in NSW

Where did you find that information? Seems to contradict everything I've read on bodylifts with airbags.

pretty sure if you have air bags then you cant do a body lift at all as you move the crash sensors...

alone 50mm on a non-air bag car is illegal without certification...

here in WA you can do a 150mm body lift max, but of course needs to be certified

talk to an engineer...

Yeah I will have to though some one may have already done that to see if there was a definitive answer like yes or no.... but it seem's it is different what each engineer in NSW is happy to do.

 

[joshy]

yep every engineer varies.

Its kind of annoying liek that though as it seem's every engineer (NSW anyway) has the rite to interpret what they think the guidelines for modification are.

I have biult many many tough street and race cars for customers that have gone through the whole process of engineering both NSW and QLD and have found that according to what I had modifyed determines which engineer I send them too.

The worst part about NSW is with the new laws that have come in is that no matter if you have your engineer's paper work with you or not every police officer has the rite to determine your vehicle defective!!!! so F^%ks me why anyone would bother these days with it. I have been driving my various cars over the last 10 years and have never had one of them engineered and Also have never been hassled or defected when pulled over by police.

The only important thing I see the need for my NAVARA to be engineered is for the insurance factor... so I will look into it and see how i go

i read that in NSW, you can only now only go 50mm max, that's suspension AND body lift combined, is this true?
