And why would they spend their time, money and resources on campaigning against something that doesn't existQuote:

as per what I posted earlier off the RTA website, maybe the meeting has been held and someone in 4wd action has connections and knows whats about 2 happen. Still would think there would be more info scattered over the net by now
Raising and lowering vehicles
Vehicle Standards Information (VSI) No 50 Raising and lowering vehicles was issued on 15 July 2009 by the Minister for Roads as part of a drive to help improve road safety in NSW.
The start date of VSI 50 has been deferred in order to provide industry and the community the opportunity to have input into the proposed changes.
A working group comprising industry, RTA and government representatives has been set up to discuss details and implementation arrangements for the VSI 50.
The working group met on August 12, to discuss options.
The RTA will investigate the options that arose from this meeting and make further determinations in due course.
The revised implementation date will be announced once the recommendations have been agreed.
The revised date will include a transition period to enable modification currently being made to vehicles to be completed. VSI 50 will be amended accordingly.
Inquiries may be directed to 1300 137 302 or by email to: Technical_Enquiries@rta.nsw.gov.au
That would explain why they drafted new vsi50 on the 10th.Quote:

This is all about stopping 4wheel drives driving through the pristine bush, and is brought about by the bloody greenies, who in turn were voted in because the Australian public were sick of Howard, wanted a change but didn't want to vote labor.
Bob Brown will introduce probate and he is behind the carbon tax, this is why Gillard can't back off.
Now it looks like krud will be back and heaven help us.
Can't wait for the next election and I hope the Libs can find someone with a large scrotum.!!
Rod you need someone with a large female anatomy part as they take a realhammering and can still walk straight through so called tough guys!Quote:

This is Australia fer cry sakes.
Ok, I understand this thread is quite political in nature & as this is something that can greatly effect us all, I am allowing some latitude here. But can we PLEASE keep to a minimum as we don't normally allow politics being discussed on the forum.

If this is passed then we are all screwed.
So if that is the case then we will have to undertake other drastic mesures to gain more free air under our 4b's. A lot of 4b's have a lot of equipment slung low under the height of the sill on the body, like the chassis rails and stuff attached to the chassis rails like gearbox x-members ect all hang under the height of the sills of the body.
The mesurment is taken from the centre of the axle to the top of the guard {trim height} to work out the ride height. So I propose this fix to get extra clearence under the 4b. Lower the body over the chassis by recessing it or it's mounts into the floor of the car. This will get all the gear you get hung up on higher than the sill of the body and lower the mesurment of the hub centre to top of guard as the body has been dropped. If you do this by 2 inches then you'll be able to get a 4 inch springf lift and gain 6 inches of clearence.
Considering you won't be able 2 have anything more than pretty much a 2inch lift without joining a 4wd club, then I believe it will be a lot tougher then the current NSW RTA Regs that are currently in place....... and forget a 6inch lift, won't happen even if it gets engineered.Quote:
