The NCOP for Vehicle Modifications starts from the 1st November in QUEENSLAND

[Xtreme 4x4 Sport]

Hi, I have spent most of today going over what is going to happen and talking to Vehicle Standards, here is the way I see it.

Tyres:- 50mm over what is on the tyre placard, so 33 look good on some of the larger vehicles.

Vehicle Height:- Maximum of 125mm. This is made up of 50mm suspension, tyres 50mm (diameter) & body blocks 50mm. (Some other States are 150mm in total)

Suspension:- No more then 50mm.

Vehicle height:- Increases over 75mm will require an LS9 (Design) & LS10 (Modification) plate fitted, this will also include a lane change test. LS9 & LS10 are Queensland only.

Body Lift:- If tyres and suspension is standard a K3 will be required.

Roll Cages:- What I can make out, you can no longer approve cages starting at the "A" Pillar. But if has already been started before the 1st November it can still be approved up until 30th April. If I was plating would be asking for proof of when started.

Motors:- There are now an extra 2 Codes to comply with, now have a total of 3 for the motor & one for the Turbo/Supercharger. More on this one later. But what I have been told the 4wd's can only have upto a 5.8lt fitted before approval is needed.

There are still more changes but have not had the time to get into them. But as I do I will post.

Remember this is the way I read the new Code. If in doubt call Transport or look at the Code

Cheers
